You do it from the comfort of your own home.

Fat chance of ever finding a disk version of SHIII, SH4, or SHV.....their too long in the tooth to find in a bricks and mortar store.

I bought my last copy of SH4 Gold Edition for under $8.00 from iNetVideo....took all of three days to come to the house!? The price has gone up from a year ago.....but so has a gallon of milk.

I've got one of the original CD disks of the game (version 1.0), bought at its release. To patch it to version 1.5 UbiSoft had us buy the damn patch for an additional $10.00 as a download. Direct 2 Drive (D2D) was where I purchased the download. If you mod your game at all, the need to reinstall a fresh copy is going to happen. Its just the way it is with mods.....files are going to become corrupt. As a specific amount of time passed, D2D would not accept your conformation number for an additional download. You had to talk to Customer Service and get a new conformation number just to download something you had purchased earlier. Without your control, D2D sells itself to another company, making it all the harder to confirm your original purchase of 4 years earlier!!

No Thanks!
