Hello Everyone,
I live in Florida, USA and was shopping on Amazon when I saw the Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific Collector's Edition - Amazon Exclusive (PC DVD) Might sound silly but, I like the pretty books and added componets in this package. Would I be able to use this on my computer without problems of region codes?
Are there any problems if I got this version doing patches,updates,mods, and the Silent Hunter 4 Add On: U-Boat Missions? Or should I just forget the Collector's Edition and get the Silent Hunter 4: Gold Edition?

Do all versions, Collector's Edition,SH4 Gold,ETC, have Starforce for copy protection?
Does SH4 support Widescreen resolutions?
Does SH4 support multi-processor?

I have SH3 which I did not play much for two reasons. 1) Lack of time when I got it and lack of widescreen support without doing the D9*.* changes. 2) After installing, my DVD burner stopped working and never came back even after re-flashing the firmware NEC ND-6750A. Got a bad taste in my mouth from that.

I really wanted to get into Sub Simulations because I really like Flight Simulations and wanted to take a new venture. Seeing that SH4 has come out, want to give it another try and I now have more time to focus on it. I must say, one thing that held me back from putting SH3 back on my system is starforce. I just formatted and everything is running perfect and want it to stay that way.

Any other suggestons, comments,advice would be appreciated to get me into this realm of simulations as I look forward to an in-depth challenge.

Thank you,
Monnie
