No not me, I doing my impression of a cd
Quote: | Ubisoft has confirmed that its upcoming, Crytek developed, Far Cry game for the PC will only be released on DVD. This move marks a departure from the simultaneous multi-CD and DVD release which is currently practiced by most publishers.
Although most high-end PC's do carry a DVD-ROM there are still quite a few systems out there without such a drive. This would, for all intents and purposes, make the game unattainable for owners of such systems. In fact, it would seem that Ubisoft is using this move to indicate that if you have a medium to low-end PC you shouldn't even attempt to play Far Cry. DVD-ROMs have become very cheap however, so the actual prospect of playing the game should be reason enough for gamers to integrate a drive into their system.
With Far Cry becoming the biggest title this spring and with previews and reviews of the game claiming it's a must-have title, it would seem that Ubisoft are risking a lot. Adding a DVD to a system may be a simple task for most but many do not have the know-how to do so. If nothing else, this move by Ubisoft could prove annoying for a lot of potential Far Cry customers. |

I don't have a DVD-ROM. I still feel I don't need one. While this game may be awesome, 1) I don't play games and 2) its from UbiSoft, so it probably won't be.
My first DVD-ROM will be a burner.

I dont have a dvdrom either. But I could care less, I would not have bought it anyway. I will download it and use daemon tools to check it out.

good, why not to move to new standard?
yeah, I think that's true: if you don't have a DVD-ROM you don't have a system that could run that game (of course in general)
but if you do have a modern pc *without</i>* a DVD then you *know</i>* what you're doing with your computer - and then you can use daemon tools anyway as suggested by Blu_Vein_Throbber... lol

i asked myself already several times why the hell they are starting doing this just now and not a long time ago, by now it?s completely useless again i?d say, dvd-bruners are not really rare anymore.

hehe, I had the floppy rip of the original Command & Conquer game. When they'd taken away all the videos, all music and speech it still took 30 damn disks.
