it's a dvd

OK... so now I have to go out and buy a DVD-ROM drive just to install this?

What the heck kinda computer do you have with no DVD drive?
CD drives are SOOO 1990's.

This is what you do.
-Buy a DVD drive for you computer at Wal-mart.
-Install ToAH.
-Bring the DVD drive BACK to Wal-mart with reciept in hand.
-Get refund.
-Log on and get humped by my Corsair.

unfortunatly... yes, or to be more accurate, you need to aquire a DVD-ROM drive in some way shape or form that we won't be concerned with.

but yes, they are pretty cheap now-a-days, you can get one for pretty much the same price as a CD-ROM drive, (read: around $50)

alternatly this is what i told my friend to do (his DVD-ROM stopped working)

find a friend with a computer/laptop that has a DVD-ROM in it (it was me in this case) and have them bring it over, get it on the network, share the DVD drive, and map it on your computer, now you can run the setup.exe from your computer and it will act as though the drive was on your machine.

there is also a CD version of it. you should consider yourself lucky, at least you got your expansion. my EB games got the 360 version onry so im **** outta luck >.>

Don't rate me down because you lack the damn ability to read a f#cking box. Its been mentioned before that the expansion is on DVD. Does SE have to drill that through your thick skull, or shove it up your narrow ***?

20 CD's? What are you, Amish? Another person that obviously don't know whether they should equip their panties on their *** or their head.

Stupidy ftw!! ^^

In all my reading from SE, etc... I have yet to see "This release is on DVD." Barch, you were cool as hell in my book, but you just lost my respect. I won't stoop to your level and start throwing out insults.

I got my DVD drive, installed it, I'm good to go. The reason I didn't have a DVD drive prior to this is that I built my own system about a year and a half ago. I had scalped parts from my previous system (just the CD and CD-RW drive), and didn't have a DVD drive at the time. I had absolutely NO reason whatsoever to buy a DVD drive until today. None of my games are on DVD, I have 3 DVD players hooked up in various places in my house, so I really didn't need one on my box.

Problem solved. Yeah, my own dumb fault for not looking at the box thoroughly and seeing the big "DVD" sticker on it. I guess that's exactly what I get for assuming. Never going to make that mistake again. Of course now I have a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and CD-RW drive on my computer, so I think I've got my bases covered for the time being.

To those of you who bought the expansion without having a DVD drive first, take note.

Do you ever go to Main Forum? There was about 2 or 3 threads saying "ToAH is DVD Only."

Sorry I lost your respect, but you lost cool points coming here venting because you didn't even read your own purchase. Also, sorry for jumping on ya, I'm just tired of hearing people ***** about this game without putting thought into the situation.

I got the last copy of ToAH at Best Buy today.
Got home to install it.

"Cannot Read Disc" x 50

I was pissed, but I remembered all the crap I did to my PS2 with HD Loader. I thought that was the problem.
Nope, darn lens just needed a bath. Got the isopropyl alcohol and q-tip and now I'm installing!!

See you guys soon.

And Elanria, again, sorry if I hurt ya feelings. I have a heart, its just stuck somewhere up my ***.

The UK version says it once clearly on the front corner of the box, once at the top of the spine, twice in the system requirements (1 in minimum, 1 in recommended) and once on the disk. That plus the minimum of 15 seperate threads about how ToAU is on DVD in the main forum - might've given him a clue, ya think lol
