any chance of me being able to play sc:ct without a dvd?

Why did you buy the game weeks before you bought the hardware to run the game? You may have been able to save some money when the game gets cheaper as time goes by.

There's nothing you can do for now. How will you transfer the game data to your computer without an optical drive? Unless, of course, you're referring to your downloaded copy of Spliner Cell....if you're talking about the downloaded game, you would still need an optical drive, at the moment, to play it. So, you're out of luck.
