6 CDs, what a sh*t load :mad:

Anyway, Americans like it that way and got an ATI voucher :D

Thats frigging excellent, if its true anyway. Now I just hope that my PC can actually play the game :(

[Luciel]

yeah i mean, by the price dvd readers are now a days, theres no excuse not to have one, in fact i think all games that are more than one cd (which is all of em now) should be on dvd.

Bah Im to poor to buy one, Plus my PSu can't handle any more drives or anything...(Going to upgrade soonish hopefully)

Cheapest DVDROM I have seen in New Zealand is $50NZ and is like $25US but then I can't burn cd's

Cheapest DVD Writer is like $120 ($60US) and thats like 4X writing and software included...would it be chaper buying from NZ or importing from US/Overseas?

Plus my PSu can't handle any more drives or anything

o.O is there such a thing as that?
As in a psu having a driver limit.

i guess he means the addition power (wattage) required. but a simple dvd drive needs very few watts.

maybe he aint got more power lead extensions for any other drives, but you can buy a splitter for like 2 quid
