CSF on... DVD? And a bonus question.

[iakovos]

I was over at the eidos.co.uk site and saw that the Commandos Strike Firce game will be released on DVD-Rom. Is that the new policy for Eidos, to release pc games on DVD or are there going to be two versions, one on CD-Rom, the other on DVD-Rom?

Bonus question:
I was looking at a German website and saw there that a Limited edition for C3 was released, including a making of dvd or cd plus the soundtrack. Did anyone see this limited edition elsewhere, or actually bought it? I would be very interested in knowing what it was all about.

Cheers,

DVD-rom is for consoles.
And I thought Germany wasn't getting this game :confused:

Eidos already uses it for pc too.

i am pretty sure it will be on dvd as well. c'mon almost all big games come on dvd. time to put cd's back.

Well, according to the Eidos brochures over at the GME event, the game will be released on:
Playstation 2, Xbox and PC DVD-ROM.

So... the commandos are getting themselves a dvd... officially.. lol

PS. I wonder how many cds CSF would take? And what about the initial install?

Well, figuring that a decent DVD-Rom drive costs less than most games now, it's logical to make the move to DVD-Rom. Take into account that a DVD disk can hold about 5 times the amount of data, it saves tons of money in manufacturing costs (in the millions). Time to pony up $34.99 for a DVD-Rom and get in the now. :)

The move to DVD-Rom will also mean that the space required for CSF will exceed all previous games in the series.

Which is not a bad thing, if the game is graphically beautiful.
