Euro PC NFSMW only on DVD

The guys over at NFS-Planet.de got confirmation from EA Germany that the european version of Need for Speed Most Wanted will only be released on a DVD. The North American version however will be CD only.

Dang it I am in the america so I have to get the cds unless I want to have the euro version. That's not fair why would they just make the dvd for there and not here? it doesn't make any sense to me and I see no reasoning behind it.

Yamaha, what's the difference between 4 CD's and 1 DVD? The game will be 100% identical, and same price. :/

The difference is that you won't have to worry about 4 CDs and during installation, you don't have to keep changing CDs. It's much simplier.

You know I don't get it, why would Europe get the DVD version. The same thing happened with UT2004, NA got stuck with 6 CDs while Europe had a single DVD. I mean, I really think NA people use more DVDs than Europeans. Just out of curiosity, how many Europeans actually do have DVD Drvies in their computers?

Just curious here, will the price of the DVD version gonna be slightly more costly compared to the normal CD version?

prices differ for each country, but I doubt they will be more expensive.

Dude, there are 4 computers in my house and 3 of them have DVD/RW unit. I mean, Europe is not Africa

A DVD reader costs about 20â‚¬.... much less than the game itself.If you dont have a DVD, buy it!

PC games cost usually 49.90â‚¬ I know it because I always buy my games!
(price is 59.90â‚¬ for consoles)
