4 Discs? come on now....

I dont get it; what's the big hold up on games on DVDs?

there was already a thread for this. everyone can do CDs, not everyone can do DVD. thus, you are making the same thing twice when they would only buy one thing.


however, if you can order it from Europe it will be DVD

The Euro's are getting the game in DVD but all us yankees in the USA get CD's.

At this point in time if someone can not afford a $20 DVD drive maybe it's time to stop gaming :lol:

i dont care.

1 DVD > 4 CDs

Games started coming out on CD when a lot of people still had floppy drives. It forces everybody to upgrade a little and isn't really a bad thing to do.

Are you really going to care 5 minutes after you finish installing the game?

i would prefer it on dvd drive too, but i was just telling you somewhat what the devs said.

also, they said something like how the publishers in the us hate doing new stuff and i think it is more expensive.

yes, I have to keep track of 4 discs instead of 1

Great logic. :rolleyes:

It wouldn't be so bad if the progress bar wouldn't max out on disc one and then you have no idea how much longer disc's 2,3 or 4 have to go......

Great logic. :rolleyes:


it is great logic....its like the movie industry basically forcing people to buy DVDs. It might cost a little more at first to buy the dvd player but in the long run is worth it. either keep up or dont buy new games/movies.

Most people don't know how to install a DVD player into a computer. So it becomes the price of a DVD player, plus the price of someone installing it for them.

That's not the case with movies and DVD players for home.

In addition, every movie that comes out has it's VHS counterpart. Noone's forced to do anything at this point (save for just a couple movie releases).

Release T:V on CD AND DVD but not ONLY DVD. A few more years, yes, today DVD only? No.

So, I stand by my, "Get a DVD or stop gaming" is retarded logic.

by now, if they have a machine capable of running tv then the most likely have a DVD drive. and if your too stupid to put one in, then i dont feel sorry for you. too bad so sad.

i have a more than adequate gaming computer and dont have a DVD drive. I just didn't feel like spending money on something I didn't need.

you all lose.

I just got my DVD drive about a year ago, and was honestly worried that if I didn't do that, I wouldn't be able to play games today because everything would be on DVD. At this point, I have to say I'm extremely dissapointed at the lack of DVDs in the market, but I don't think a "DVD only" plan is the answer. The Sims2 did it perfectly. They had a DVD version and a CD version, both costing the exact same amount. Stop with the "CD version" and "Special Edition $20 more + a desktop wallpaper DVD edition."

At this point I thought I would own at least 5 or 6 games on DVD. The fact is, UT2k4 and The Sims2 are the only two. Publishers should seriously reconsider this continuously greivous error that they just don't stop making, and they should follow the likes of The Sims2 and the recently released MystIV which was DVD Only.

4 CDs... boo-effin-hoo. I remember a time when games came on 32 floppy disks, and half the time at least one of those disks was unreadable/corrupt. Crybabies.

Because 4 CDs are effing annoying as hell. One DVD is easier to keep track of, easier to install with and faster to install with.

Plus installing a DVD-ROM isn't rocket science. I could teach my 12 year old cousin to do it. Set the DVD-ROM as slave, plug in the power and IDE, boot up and you're good to go. Its like putting lego blocks together.

I don't know how to install a gpu, make T:V text based.

That's according to your logic.
I don't know what some people have against progress.
Why the hell are we still using books btw? I mean those things are big and a waste of everything.

My first gateway that I bought 6 years ago came with a DVD drive. Even if someone bought a premade computer, they would have a DVD drive. It doesn't really matter as long as there are tards that will buy something without reading the system requirements.
