Ok this made me a little worried, I started checking some Swedish sites and there will be a CD version, no worries. But the funny thing is the box shot shown is actually the one someone made a topic about the other day... it's a community contribution...

If you don't have a dvd-rom, get one. They're ridiculously inexpensive, and dvds are a hell of a lot nicer for games now they're coming on 4-6 cds. I would have loved a dvd-only release in the US.

well
lets hurt sales some more by forcing ppl to buy dvd roms

WHAT?! DVD only? But I only have a floppy drive. They are hurting the sales by not releasing a floppy version!

 

[Krytoss]

at roughly 2075 floppys needed to fit T:V, each floppy being 2mm thick... you would need a storage box over 4 meters long

They're already forcing us to have expensive video hardware, a shazbotload of RAM, and a fast processor. What's another 20 dollar investment for 6x the disc capacity? Do you think games are going to get any smaller?

Measured in millimeters, a floppy's dimensions are 90*95*3.


2075 floppies would take up a total volume of 90*95*3*2075 = 53223750 mm^3.


That's slightly more than 53 liters (14 gallons) of data.

And if I only take high resolution medias (textures & sounds), how many liters of floppy do i need ?

Hm that was the box art I expected... maybe some shopping sites have gotten it all wrong.

so far I've only seen DVD versions here.

The euro version of the box still has a targeting laserkill (tnx suv-3 for the pic)

 

[RompeR]

16+ in usa and 15+ in EU ?

 

[Hansel]

DVD only in Europe. Old news already.

I read from somewhere that HL2 wont have CD version in Europe either.

 

[BadRasta]

[Darkfire]

Good, cd's r shazbot.

 

[Piata]
