P.S. Desperately awaiting San Andreas On PC

Yes, SA PC will need a DVD drive to run... most PCs these days SHOULD have one, but you can get a DVD drive for cheap now, somewhere around $25 or $35

Actually i think it's coming out on CD aswell. If it dosen't then buy a DVD drive, very cheap!

If its on a dual layered dvd i really doubt it will fit onto a 800mb cdrom

Yeah, but was is dumb is that DVD-r's are like $80-100...

The Sims 2 did that, they had one for cd-rom which was 4 cds and DVD which was all on one... So, they might just use DVD to save money rather than using so many discs...

Hi I wrote about a week ago and haven’t gotten a response …. I’ve since then added you to my allowed senders list I had a few questions concerning my pre-order of gta san andreas I noticed on take2’s uk site it says it will be released on DVD and on the North American site it says PC CD ROM and DVD… and was wondering what type I will be getting I prefer it on DVD if I have a choice also I was wondering if it will shipped to arrive on june 7 or will shipping start june 7?

****************************************************************
i have alrequested the system specs but they told me to write back in the spring ... gonna to that in april....So unless things have changed since they wrote me it will be DVD ONLY much to my liking concidering it would be a 4-5 cd game otherwise

Most games come out on DVD & CD just now, as game companies do know that tehir is a lot of folk withough DVD-ROMs still... but I would still recomend buying one...

http://www.ebuyer.co.uk (or http://www.ebuyer.com if you are in us) is a great website for computer parts... probably one of the cheapest sites you will find...

[QUOTE]We know its being discussed in a topic already, at the moment its just speculation.

My pre-order with Gameplay is now shown as a DVD Rom. They have also added this to the specifications section on their website.

BUT Its just speculation apparently!

[Jordan]

I have a very hard time believing that the game will not be available on CD's.

[DigitalD]

Very interestng, bob the noob, we didn't know that...

Yeah as I suspected they have gone the DVD route which is great news, no more disc swapping. Really if it was on CD it would be in excess of 4 discs I'd imagine so yay.

For those who don't have a DVD-ROM get one as they are dirt cheap even for an actual DVD-Writer.

Come on DVD-ROMS are so common now that anyone who doesn't have one is basially a minority and so we all know that the majority comes first in business.

Most off-the-shelf computers made in the past four years have them. And even if you've built your own computer, why would you leave out something as important and as cheap as a DVD-ROM?

[Cran.]

Come on people, stop being soo cheap, I got a one year old desktop in 2000, and that came with a DVD Drive! It was a Dell!! So come on, If I've had computers with DVD Drives for 5 years.. I think you could get one, ffs. I've had four different computers with DVD Drives.

[scabo19]

Oh gosh now r* is making me spend more money just to play san andreas.If anybody still has any news that it could be possibly coming for cd-rom then tell me cuz it would be nice to save the money.See i dont live in the us and when u convert us$ to my currency it ain dirt cheap. I got a dell in 2002 but i never really saw the need for a dvd-drive cuz i had like 4 dvd players already but anyway if i need to buy a dvd drive to play san andreas then i would cuz its well worth the money.

P.S. Does anyone if a dvd-rom a dell laptop can work with a desktop and if so then how?

[Luke2004]

Can't you play a dvd in a normal cd drive? At least I can.

[Opius]

No, you cannot play DVDs in a CD drive. Do you honestly believe the concept of a DVD-ROM is just a scam to get you to pay $30 more for a unit?

[Beretta]

CDs are past, DVD is the future.
Fits more and... anyway, forget CDs.
