Possible to get SH3 without Starforce?

My SHIII is from Direct2Drive elect. DL. No disk to
insert and no codes. Can be reloaded from D2D if
it crashes. 5 months ago it was $19.00 US.

A few months ago I bought the pre-patched EMEA (English) version from NWS. If anyone else is looking for a copy you can find one here: http://http://yhst-12000246778232.st...t/sihuiii.html. This version is, as I said, already patched to 1.4b, does not contain Starforce drivers and you don't need the dvd to be in the drive to play once the game is installed. Just be sure to state that you want the "No Starforce, Pre-Patched to 1.4b, Playable without the dvd in the drive" version in the Comments box if you place an order with NWS.

The pre-patched Focus version is about £8 (less than $12 with the recent collapse in the UK's exchange rates) on Amazon UK

That Amazon.co.uk one seems to be the way forward.

Neither Direct2Drive or Steam have SH3 for download on their UK sites - it's only available on the US online stores.

For those who want to know:

I just bought SH-3 DVD from NWS for $10 and it came patched to 1.4 and NO Starforce. You dont even need the DVD in the drive after install. So much better. Thank you NWS.

I got the Encore edition for 10$ from Amazon and it came with SH2. Installed with no starforce, and I can run it without the cd.
