Well, you guys have talked me into it. In fact I'm considering to just say "screw Christmas" and buy it tonight.

I would buy it on disc (Lord knows it'd be faster than steam's ungodly download times, and cheaper.)

But my cd-drive stopped working years ago, can't even get the darn thing to open, acts like it's jammed, piece of junk.

So Alas I'm forced to buy the $30 steam version (that's counting the U-boat missions add-on)

As for bugs Silent Hunter 3 has had quite a few on me so I know what's in store, like that lovely bug where the game crashes 70% of the time when you try to use one of the Auto-arrange crew buttons. Or maybe how the lighthouses in it have the ability to generate lights so strong that they can penetrate and shine right through your crew-members on deck. Don't even get me started on the time I saw a disembodied floating head manning the flak gun (I still have nightmares.

)

Not hating on them, I'm just saying I'm used to Ubisoft's ability to seemingly miss out on what should be obvious and easily fixed bugs. And for the most part these glitches are not game breaking in any way, in fact they can be kind of humorous at times. (Except that bloody auto-manage crew button, that thing caused me lots of frustration back before I learned not to use it.)

If the bugs in SH4 are anything like the ones you can find in SH3, I'm sure I can handle it. (Seriously, I doubt SH4 has anything that tops disembodied floating heads running around on deck, prove me wrong.)

EDIT: Just bought it and the U-boat Mission expansion pack, can't wait to see how it goes when the download finishes 3 days from now. I'll keep you all updated.
