None taken Major J

I think what alot os USA member/ purchasers want to know is.

1. Is USA D\L Burnable to CD ? As only d\l is availble in USA.

2. If only EU DVD is available will it play on USA DVD Player ?

Hi Firewall. Last Saturday, I ordered the expansion from here:

http://www.gogamer.com/Silent-Hunter...VVviewprod.htm

It is listed as an import, but it arrived today, and I am playing it (US campaign) as I type. No problems thus far.

NTSC is the standard picture format in the USA, Canada & Japan. For playback in these countries, you should buy only DVDs marked NTSC and not those marked PAL unless you have a TV capable of playing PAL images.

PAL is the standard picture format in the Australia, New Zealand and most of Europe. Most modern TV sets sold in Australia can also play NTSC these days but you should check the player instruction manual and/or contact the distributor if you are not sure.

Major, I have European version.

I reckon Ill give a try to UBI board, didnt think of that one!

Thx to you too sober

This post explains alot to us in being careful what we order to have compatibilty.

It would sure suck to spend $30.00 + s&h to find out it doesn't work on dvd player.

Sure, why not. It's just an .exe installer file, nothing tricky about it.
