NFSMW: PC Version Also On DVD?

Post by **Bojan** » 16 Sep 2005, 10:00

Electronic Arts Germany released the box art of Need for Speed Most Wanted. What is interesting about it is that it's a DVD release. Right now it's still unknown if in Europe the game will be released only on DVD or will there also be a CD version.

See the box here.

Well, it's certainly not only DVD. From that German word "kompatibel", I think it's save to say that's it'll be on a normal CD Rom, but it's DVD compatible.

It's NUR DVD which means ONLY DVD.

I don't care, I've got a DVD writer lol. But I think this will be a standard for the new generation games (GTA:SA and FarCry were also on DVD)

Right.... But are they gonna release a different version for Asia? I don't think any games in Singapore are in whatsoever NUR DVD format...

I don't get it.

The official MW site shows a PC-CDRom case.
A unofficial site shows a PC-DVD case.

And suddenly everybody trusts the unofficial site instead of trusting the official site.

I think it's obvious: There will be a CD version, and most likely a DVD version (but this one is not confirmed by EA yet...)

I personally want the DVD version.

P.S. The deutsch site shows 2 new videos from the demo (September 16th).

Well, in my case, I need the CD instead. And I do believe that DVD versions would be more expensive compared to the CD version, for some reasons. That's another reason why I want the CD version.

What is the difference between a DVD game and a CD game?? I'm lost here guys could you give me a hand

Top_Gear · Post by **Top_Gear** » 16 Sep 2005, 14:46

theres no difference in the game, only the format of the disc.
dvd stores more data, so you can fit the entire game in 1 DVD, instead of multiple CDs.

a DVD game means that the game is on one dvd (usually) and cd game would mean that there are several cd's in the box.

I'm german and I'm not sure what they actually mean.
For me it sounds like its a DVD-version and the "Nur DVD Kompatibel" (only DVD compatible) is a sort of warning for people who buy the game that they are really aware of getting the DVD version and not the CD version. At least thats what I think. But I also guess that both versions CD and DVD will be available in stores ..

I'm glad they decided to release a DVD version. I'm tired of keeping hundreds of CDs. The DVD version is not necessarly more expensive. CDs are actually more expensive. For example, a DVD holds enough space to fill 6 CDs. Buying 6 CDs is more expensive than buying one DVD. I'm surprised people are still with CD versions. I hardly use CDs for burning. DVDs all the way.

So if I have the choice of getting a dvd version and a cd version I should get the dvd?

Yes, definately. Much more efficient and hopefully the DVD version will pack some extras.

You must, of course, make sure you have a dvd drive though. A cd drive will not read dvd.

Well, it's been said in the MW official thread, but no one brought it here. The DVD version will only be released for Europe only.
