Yeah well, I was trying to find a baseball game last year (MVP 2005 by EA Sports) as a gift for someone. The only problem was, in Britain where I live, it wasn't available or ever would be. So...I search online. I could've used Steam (or Direct2Drive..can't remember now) and bought the game for a ridiculous price. Or..I went to the CD Wow website and ordered the game for less then half the price. It arrived by post (from Hong Kong) 4 days later. On the back was written "Only to be distributed in Asia, Australia and New Zealand" so strictly speaking they'd sold it to me illegaly...but...who cares!? Better then being ripped off by these download companies....half price and I get a box too.

Where do you think I got Dangerous Waters from? If I waited for the Euro version...I would've lost interest already. As it happens I got it for half the price people on Steam got it...and that was 6 months ago.

Oh yeah...and SH3, I have the US version (Swastikas on the German naval flags)...not the pansy and historically inaccurate Euro version. I'm all for breaking distrubution rights law.
