Default SH3 Direct 2 Drive Question

I am thinking of getting SH3 from Direct 2 Drive so I dont have to use my old disk and Starforce.

I have never used D2D before so I was wondering from anyone who has done this can I save my D2D download so I can re-install my copy of SH3 as often as I like or do I have to redownload it everytime I want to reinstall?

(First post here!)

Haven't used D2D, but downloading from the UbiStore I was able to save the installer. In fact I'm not sure how you would install it without downloading it. :hmm: In any case, I think it's probably safe to say D2D will let you download and save the installer. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong..)

i first purchased a downloadable version (not D2D) before getting it again on physical support never had any problems but i make this post just to say that belonging to me the boxed version's a better choice cause it have a longer lifetime ..

Default D2D download of SH3

Hello there,

I have purchased SH3, SH4 and the SH4 expansion this way, and had no problems. I downloaded the file straight to my HD, it took a little bit because of the size of the file but, I can reinstall it as many times as I like and have backed it up to a CD incase my HD decides to go see Davey Jones. Hope this helps

I second this. Did the same with SHIII due to SF, no problems at all.
