NBA Live 07 = Need a DVD Drive???

I just saw on the box of NBA Live 07 for PC it says:

PC DVD ROM

ONLY DVD COMPATIBLE

Say it aint so!?

There should be a CD version, as most games do have a DVD and CD Version, for example, i think 06 had a DVD version, but i bought the CD version cuz i had no DVD drive

oh thank god... much appreciated

From what I heard/read, it will only be on a DVD.

if so, EA really ****ed up big time. there still are alot of people w/o dvd drives. me being one

fuck. if this is true... im pretty fucked off

LOL why would they really **** up? Alot of games are on dvd now. I love having games on dvd, only one cd install goes alot faster. Plus I think everyone has know it was on dvd only for like 6 months now.

Just pick one up for like $30. I did about 8 months ago and it works great.

I couldn't find a CD version when I looked around the stores yesterday. I got the DVD version.

Say that when u got no DVD drive

It was mentinoed months ago that it would be on a PC DVD. As for there being a CD-rom version as well? I haven't heard anything on that.

well when Live 06 came out, it was always advertised as the DVD Version, but i went to bestbuy the day it came out and bought the CD version. what im saying is there might and should be a CD version, but EA wont advertise it. honestly, only making a DVD version affects alot of people

yeah man, i was really looking forward to my grizz dynasty... im not keeping my hopes up

honestly, only making a DVD version affects alot of people

Not really almost all pc's come with dvd drives now.

not everybody has a brandnew computer though

You've been pretty ignorant over the past week or so. Please think before you post.

It's a big world, and he's right, it indeed would affect a lot of people if a DVD drive were mandatory for game operation. And while you or I may not be in that group of people, you can't be an ignorant dope and pretend it doesn't exist.

So please, think.

Sorry I didnt realize I was being ignorant or rude, Or I wouldnt of said any of it. I was just stating my opinion on how many people have dvd drives now. I could help anyone find a good deal on one. Unless you just want to find one where you live.

Just buy a DVD-R drive or something, it's extremely cheap. I got mine for $90 but it was brand new and Sony and that was when they were a little expensive.

Trust me, you can now get one (a good one) for around 35-40 bucks if my memory is right.

i bought a dvd-rom drive because of this, i think it was 35 bucks.

Or you could just download it from EA downloader....then you wont need a Drive at all.

Yeh you can get them for dirt cheap now. In most cases if you have a computer that is capable of playing NBA Live 07 then you would have a DVD drive. EA may come out with a CD version, but probably statisticaly speaking it would be better for EA to just bring out a DVD version, as the loss in sales compared to the less prodution cost would probably work in EA's favour. However it really does suck for the people without DVD drives, jsut wait and see or save your money for a DVD drive.

DVD-RW drives are indeed very cheap on Newegg, but it won't get there in time for release of course

anyone know how good this is:

I got one that same speed 8 months ago for like 30 or 35 on newegg.com I would go with newegg If I were you.

oh, i was going to buy today when i saw that the CD is in DVD-rom format. http://www.datablitz.com.ph/games/game_detail.asp?id=1055 crap, i dont have a Dvdrom and i dont want to buy one because it's already full. but i am still going out there and try to ask if they have a pc-cd version.

Its NZ dollars. It converts to 32 bucks USD. It sucks because my family has no money right now and il have to wait at least 3 or 4 months to get it coz its so fuckin hard to find a job here to make money of my own

EDIT: Does anybody know how much DVD drive speed effects the play of game?

but i am still going out there and try to ask if they have a pc-cd version.

That's what I'm going to do. I'm not fully convinced it is only on PC-DVD.
