Thank you everyone for responding.

I've been looking around for the gold edition for $10 like you said but haven't seen anything under $20. Just wondering if I had missed it somewhere? I use Steam and saw they have SH4 and the U-Boat missions as seperate games, so if i buy both would that work?

no you didn't miss anything. for a while it was $10 and so was the v1.5 ad-on so it made no sense not to buy the gold version download for the same $10 price.

now the gold version download costs are doubled but its still smarter to buy the gold version and get it all in one. just burn the download to a disk to save it safe and secure.

shop around and you can find sh4 gold download for an average of $20 but unfortunately if you want it on an actual hard disk, its an incredible $50 to buy it today.

here is a $20 download link I found for the game: http://www.amazon.com/Silent-Hunter-.../dp/B008X73CE8

if I were buying it today I would buy this used one for $24 after confirming its an "official" sh4 gold edition game cd from ubisoft http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silent-Hunte...3omMx3AyU_BthA

In the SH4 directory there is an auto-patcher called gu.exe

EDIT: Oh, you meant patch to add U-Boat expansion. It won't do that. You could give it a shot and see what it does.

If I buy SH4 and the U-Boat missions on Steam, is that the same as buying the gold edition somewhere else?
