There's plenty of DVD games still out there, new in a box, that can be picked up for less than a fraction of what they originally sold for. Having someone else telling you you'll need to provide an Authentication Key or some other "proof of purchase" number to download a game is nothing but BS. For those that plan to mod their game, having a CD in-hand is going to be very important.....you'll need it when the files become corrupt (and they will!!), and you need to reinstall.
It's their rules but I'll not play by them. Buy the CD, get it shipped to your home in a couple of days, and thumb your nose to the market industry that has their grip on your balls!  |
Well, I my case there aren't many game store around here in Auckland and being partially disabled its is hard to get out. I use to get everything from Amazon (digital download) but it seems they don't like anything but North American money now.
Mailing to New Zealand takes a bit more than a couple days. If you want it in a couple days the shipping will most likely cost more than the game...
I do have a 'CD in hand' I just burn the files to DVD
I finally got SH4 Gold from GamerGate (at the recommendation of a mate) haven't had any worries with that. The other 2 companies can enjoy the charge back, and my posting about them in every public forum I belong to as well as my gaming group (and after 40 years thats pretty large)
