so IMO, a DVD drive that doesnt cost much is very much worth it.

i get angry when i see people telling developers to release games on the CD format, theres no reason why anyone shouldnt be able to get a DVD drive now. and theres no reason to get games to install on a computer that have 6+ CD's.

i have the DVD version of UT 04, my friend bought the CD version. i was reformating his comptuer for him, and i had to reinstall that game. OMG! what a pain to keep switching CD's, took like 15min. my DVD version, i just put it in, takes a min to install and im done.
I believe far cry was released only on dvd....t'is a good game :offtopic:, sorry guys.


in anycasse, verrrrrry, good news for people with ATi vouchers :D

Well, I decided to listen to the people who like Steam, and installed it. The updates aren't bad as I remembered, and I downloaded Codename Gordon in quite a short time. But I couldn't remember my old username ( :banghead: ), so I couldn't get my already registered Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat and the others to register again :(. Then I found a way around it... :devil:

Then I found my old username and password... :D

:angel:

But still, I'm not ready to download 6GBs off Steam. I'm still buying it off the shelf. When I format, I'll have to download it all over again... :banghead:

You don't have to pre-load HL2 ;)

Doesn't Steam download the game after you buy it? At least some neccesary parts of it? If I'm wrong, then I'm going to need a pretty in-depth explanation of buying games off Steam. And if I'm convinced, I might actually buy something :)...

Oops. I may have read it wrong. Are you gonna buy and download off steam? I think at first I read it was on the shelf.

But if you are buying off Steam, go ahead and preload the game. After its done preloading, if you have a DVD Burner, put the Half Life2 gcf files onto a DVD and store it. If you have a CD Burner, put some files on 1 cd, some on another. Then, if you ever have to reformat, you don't have to redownload over 2 gigs of data (compressed)
