ATi Coupon. So technically I have bought it and technically I am not buying it. So technically I don't know.

Not Stream though. Ever.

**Dee-ehn** · 12-10-2004

I don't care

. I guess I'll buy it one day when it hit the shelves in the very back of the store, offering the game for less than €5. I'm still very happy with the XBOX and Locomotion on the PC.

If I had to buy it... well then I'd go for the DVD version, as it saves quite some space, is somewhat faster (no swapping) etc ect..

Hey, a locomotion player.

doug · 12-10-2004

offtopic, but is it cheaper to buy from steam?

*bcn_246* · 12-10-2004

i think it is about the same, just poor servers, and harder to get working, and not sure about weather you can burn it to cd/dvd so you dont have re-download if you need to reinstall.

oh, @womble the question was how are you getting it, so what format are you getting the ATi coupon in? do they give you a choce?, at the moment amazon.co.uk only have the dvd version for pre-order

*madmax* · 12-10-2004

P2P is one

Sadly, my computer won't be able to run it at all; so no point buying for me. But if I had to get it, I guess DVD version

yes? but what format are you getting it on, even if you have a coupon you will still get it on CD/DVD/Steam.

If I Ever get it, i will be recieving it as a present or finding it in a box of corn flakes.

**Womble** · 12-10-2004

No idea. Could be CD, could be DVD.
