WTF, it's my money, and if I can buy "X" number of copies at "Computer Games R Us", why not another one from them? You said you formatted your HDD. I'm pretty technologically challenged, so would that have anything to do with it?

Yep, usually it would be hidden in the registry of windows, so when u go to DL the server would know you have already DL this game when checking your PC. If you reformatt the PC, the registry is deleted so a fresh install of windows and new registry meaning no SH3 info. You could probably search for it in the registry but im sure they also have data stored on your harddrive as well. Yet ive never brought a game this way yet find it complete BS that you are not allowed to buy another of the same game? I mean you are paying for it so whats their problem!? Best way to turn gamers away.
