Ahh, whatever, I won't pay money to download a game off the internet. I'll probably pay, and won't be able to download it... I hate Steam...

And getting a DVD drive just isn't worth it. I'll pay 30$ to play a game I've played before (and hated, I should add) with better graphics.

well, you have to start reconizing a trend here man. havnt you noticed the games now starting to release 2 versions? DVD, or a pack of CD's? the switch is happening, it wont be too long before games come out on DVD only,
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.
