Like a fool I bought the DVD version of Dark Crusade.. unforutunatley I don't have a DVD reader. I can not return the game so I am stuck with a CD key and a DVD copy. Is it possible to get the CD's from relic or something? Any help is appreciated..

    You can return for the same product.
    This is considered the same product.

    They won't care it was opened? Friend had something similar happen to him and they would not accept it.

    He probably opened the package and put in the DVD thinking it was a normal CD, and you can't return an opened PC game anywhere as far as I know.

    you can't return it but you should be able to replace it.

    go grab the CD version. goto help desk and tell them you want to replace the game. don't tell them you are chaging because you bought the wrong version.
    just make sure they know you are replacing it with the same game.

    Go to a computer store and pick up a CD/DVD drive for 30 bucks. No longer an issue.

    You should feel proud, not angry. You are the only man in the world without a DVD drive, and you are the sole reason PC games still get released on CDs.

    Which IMO they should stop releasing them, I am annoyed that the majority of games are still on cd instead of dvd's

    I cannot stand installing a game on 5 cd's such as WoW instead of one dvd. but o well hopefully the majority will be dvd from now on.

    Amazing, isn't it?

    These game companies will put out games that'll give your $400 video card and $300 CPU and $300 worth of RAM a workout, but they don't dare put out their game on media that would require a $15 optical drive that's been commonplace since about 1999.

    that's a really good idea, especially since it's 2 bucks hmm I never realized it was dvd but it would make sense.

    I've had one since like 1996.

    Yes they do, I bought two of them last night.

    Also, any store should let you switch it for the same product. We even switch it for other consoles. Just go return it.

    really glad people cant spend $15 on a dvd drive so we have to deal with companies releasing cd-rom versions of games still. Honestly whats more fun than having to switch disks 5 times on games like UT2004?!!??! NOTHING, THATS WHAT.

    you cheapskate bastards.

    You! You are the fabled one!

    I heard tell, long ago, of a man who possessed not the simplest and most commonplace of PC components. It is said that this man is responsible for the curse under which we now suffer, the curse of MANY CDS.

    Knights of the Old Republic 2, for example, which doth come packaged upon four lustrous circles of information. One must keep them safe, for if one is to misplace even one, then the game doth become unplayable!
