Put ya games on DVD's! Or not?
It's crunch time, your gonna decide what the Publishers and Developers put their games on. Vote!
To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

DVD's please.
Usualy faster install times and less hassle. I couldnt imagine installing UT04 on 6 CD's :\

definately DVDs, as long as it works right not like the UT2k3 DVDhash. DVDs are faster than CDs (?) and you dont have to keep swapping disc after disc..
I dont like sig pics so i turn off sigs
 Which doesnt help when i dont know what ive written here! DOH!

Have to agree with everyone, DVD's all the way. I mean, sometimes if its something like LO:MAC which is on a cd, thats fine, but Ut2004, 6 cds, you gotta be outta your mind!

Got to vote for dvd's. A dvd reader is only about £20 and if you cant fford one then your probably not going to be using your pc for the latest dvd games so i think the move is justified.

The major problem with DVDs being used as storage is that to do both is massively expensive (2 gold-masters) and at the moment there is very few retailier willing to sell dvd only games. It is a bit silly to think that anyone with the box to run doom3 wont have access to a 10quid dvd drive though..
