Hi folks,

I've wanted to get SHIII for a long time, but I simply refuse to buy a game with Starforce on it. I don't want to start anything about Starforce but having had serious issues due to it once before I came to the conclusion that no game was worth the hassle.

Anyway, I see that it is now available to buy direct-to-drive.
Does anyone know if this version is compatable online with the regular CD version, and also, if the direct-to-drive version contains Starforce? It may seem a bit silly putting a CD-protection on a direct-to-drive game but even demos these days have CD protection routines in them even if there is no CD.
