So what are the differences? I'm pressed for time today, can't look it up. I understand that the SE version is on DVD instead of CD? And it comes with a nice little headset. Are there any other differences? The "plain" version of the game is back in stock here for $49.99 Cdn. I was told that the SE version was selling for $79.99, which sounds like a made in Canada price alright. :? If that price is right then I may as well buy the plain jane version. 80 bucks is just too rich for me. And as far as the headset goes, I have a mic on a stick I can use, and I have lots of old walkman headphones, I guess I can rig those up to work well enough. I just wonder if I'm losing something very special by being too poor/cheap to fork out the extra cash? |

Nah. You ain't loosing too much. The DVD edition is great because you only have to keep up with TWO disk instead of six. I think that there is also some footage of the making of UT2004, but who cares. |

the other thing that sucks is Canadians can't get the $10 rebate if you bought UT2K3. Boo Hiss! Pissed Schwantz |

My brother is here in town today, and he told me of a good software dealer in Quebec. They want $58 for the SE version, and since they don't collect Ontario's PST for them, I save over 4 bucks by ordering from them. So I did. Free shipping too. If they can't get me a copy I'm out nothing, but I think I may have a good chance of getting one from them, since they can't sell any software in English in Quebec, until they have the French language version to sell too. I may have to wait a few weeks, but it'll be worth it, all told. 8) :) |

I think that Epic owes us more than $10 for 2003. Just my opinion 8) |

ut2k3 was just the beta for 2k4, sounds like. I hear you nameless -- I refuse to go out and pay full price for the game, so I will wait a bit for some deals. So, anyone going to answer my question about the copy protection on 2k4? Purely academic interest. M |

I have already looked for two things. The no cd patch and the way to copy. Neither exist yet as near as I can tell. I would give it a week before either one become available too. |

hey jarg I love daemontools and have been using it for 3 years. way better than virtual cd. looks like the game uses securom. in which case, don't get the dvd version, if you want to make a backup copy for yourself. |

Don't have the DVD version, and you KNOW I'm gonna make a "backup copy" for myself :wink: Actually, I think i will make a backup copy... That is way too many CD's and you know one of them will get scratched. :? |

Scratching and convenience are the two primary reasons to make backups. If you image all the discs onto your HD, then you don't have to keep swapping them out. |

Bah! They're out of stock for the SE version at that store in Quebec. I cancelled the order. Best Buy guarantees to have copies of the cd version of the game until the 25th of March for $39.99. So I'm going over there tomorrow and grabbing a copy. I can check out headsets and prices while I'm over there. |
