Yeah, I might break down someday and buy the "gold" edition if I can be GUARANTEED that there's no "insert key disk in drive to continue" BS. My youngest son is autistic and too often unaware of what he's doing, so copy protected games have to be the kind you register a serial number, zip the game folder and throw the disk away. Otherwise they get scratched within a few months so you can no longer play the game. Copyguard has been the bane of my existence since they started using it. I bought the Direct2Drive version of SH4 mainly so I wouldn't have to deal with the Sacred Holy Copy Protection Key Disk, unfortunately GameFly bought Direct2Drive and the process of downloading something you bought from Direct2Drive 10 years ago is irritating tedious aggravating installation of their sillyassed download manager and plugins and updates for two days, then the actual game download stops after 14 hours and you have to start over.
Got a simple DVD you can just copy the whole smash to hard drive and install it from there, then toss the disc out the window, I'll buy it.
