    Batman AA for PC - DRM?

    Just wanted to check before I buy it - does anyone know if Batman: AA on PC has any DRM on the off-the-shelf version? After a quick bit of Googling it looks like the Steam version has SecuROM but the off-the-shelf copy has none? I'd rather not have DRM, especially SecuROM on my PC...

    The DRM I know of only comes into affect with 'cracked' copies of the games. It basically brakes the game for you so if your buying it you should be fine.

    Note: The copies released early were Direct 2 Drive versions, so again, you should be fine with a DVD copy
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    You don't know what I know about DRM then but thanks all the same.
