GUNNER Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Maybe they can throw in a copy of JK, MoTS and the original Dark forces. It's a lot to ask but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNNER Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 I used to keep all my game boxes as well as my PC hardwares boxes until the wife said I needed to get rid of some of them. But now I have a small colection of them again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lunatic Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 How about a special collectors version on DVD? With makings of documentaries, teaser trailers etc etc. More importantly, when are game companies in general going to start utilizing DVD technology more! I mean this great medium is just sitting stagnant in the computer industry. Of course i always hear the excuse/reason that not enough people have DVD-ROMS for their computers, which is fair enough. How many of you guys have a DVD-ROM? Cos i have one, had it for over a year now. I don't think i've ever used it for software, only watching movies every now and then.

GUNNER Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 I don't have one. I just have a creative 52X I have heard that it takes forever to load anything with them.. Are most of them real slow? I would like to have one but I'm leaning more towards a new Audigy gamer sound card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwup Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 DVD-ROM is a huge waste of time I have had one for 3 years and have never used it, of course I have PS2 and a DVD Player, but still I think the computer's DVD-ROM is a waste until games come out for it(3-4 years min because nobody has or will get DVD-ROMS until CD's are so out of date that stuff requires a DVD format) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 That's how I have seen it, why watch a movie on a 19-21 inch monitor when I can watch it on a 32 inch tv. I can see a DVD on a laptop though where you could watch a movie while traveling, at least that is realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 A collector's edition on DVD sounds good to me, especially if it's packed with some of the other stuff I mentioned in my previous post. I do have a DVD-ROM drive, and I have used it for more than simply playing movies (which are quite acceptable on my 19 inch monitor). Many PC magazines offer DVD versions, which usually have a lot more content, in terms of reviews, demos, patches, etc., that are not available with their CD editions. So it proves useful in that way. I am also contemplating getting the DVD editions of Baldur's Gate, I and II. (Yeah, I know, I haven't played them yet...) If more developers did DVD editions of their games, I would buy those editions. Incidentally, I think there is a misonception among some people that DVD-ROM drives are slow. They're not. Mine is an 8x speed...but that just means it's 8 times faster than the original DVD-ROM drive released. It equates to a data transfer rate of around 70-80 Mbits/sec. A 32x speed CD drive is around the 5.5 Mbits/sec mark. It also doubles as a 40x speed CD drive, which reads faster than my CD-RW drive (24 x speed). The reason why they may seem slow is because they hold a lot more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirth Vedar Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 You know, I was never too keen on that whole behind the scenes, show making of deal. What will sell me to the special edition would be. 1. complete compilation of all previous JK games, df, jk, mots. 2. soundtrack of game music. 3. small toy of some sort. Of kyle, of the bad guy, of the ship that someone flys in, a robot from the game. hell, they can even put different ones in each special edition box so people can "collect all four" or something. Though it's a little mean to torture collectors like that. 4. cloth map (hehe, just kidding about that one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the new cases the CD case IS the bos .....so it wont end up in the corner of the room or my bin any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_FinnSon Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Yeah, games also come in DVD case(but mostly in here Europe, I have heard) these days and I think it's much more compact way of storing them. Of course I also have many of those "traditional" boxes on the self waiting for me to wipe off the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
