2nd copy of SH III...

Murr44 · 05-21-08, 05:26 PM

Would anyone know where I could pick a second (replacement) copy of the game. So far my original dvd plays alright but I'd like to get a backup just in case. I've heard that some of the newer versions don't have the Starforce drivers & that in these versions, the disc doesn't have to be in the drive while playing. I live in Canada & Amazon (US) isn't an option because they won't mail software here for some reason (which is weird because other US distributors do).

Thanks...

You could always have it shipped to a US address and that kind soul
would forward it on.

Futureshop - depending on where you live - may have a couple of copies lying around. Alternatively you could purchase and subsequently download the game from Direct2Drive.com.

Unless you are determined to have a DVD copy you can d/l from UBI at least in the US, canada and Mexico. You won't need a disk in the drive

Have you thought about an electronic download?

My SHIII disk was going bad so I purchased the E download from
https://www.direct2drive.com. It works great.

Good luck

I ran into the same sort of problem also,and I went the Ebay route. Picked up a new sealed copy of the game, updated to 1.4 already, so I didn't have to worry about upgrading it. I think in all it cost me about $20. If you want to know the store I got it from, send me a pm and I'll send you the store name.

I'm up dial up so electronic downloads (of that size anyway) aren't an option at present.

Thanks anyway...
