link corrected you n0000b!!!!


anyways, yay for the preorder!

link not working for me, but $20 extra is unacceptable for DVD ed

This frees up disc 2 of the DVD set for a variety of special features not included with the CD set, including a number of behind-the-scenes interviews at Epic showing the making of UT 2004. Perhaps the most interesting use of the second DVD, however, is the use of VTM's -- "Video Training Modules" created by the staff at 3DBuzz.com. These countless hours of .avi tutorials ("a few hundred hours," as CliffyB puts it) will teach aspiring Unreal mod authors the ins and outs of creating levels, creating and importing characters, bot navigation, and anything else they'll need to build their own games within UT 2004. A special version of Maya Personal Learning Edition is also being bundled with UT 2004, that will allow modelers to create fully functioning models for the game.

Doesn't sound too bad to me.

Oh, AND there's more:

If the extra DVD features don't seem worthy of the extra bucks, Atari is also bundling a Logitech headset with this special edition of UT 2004. The game has a number of features that make use of the headset, from voice-over-IP communication with other players, to voice recognition software that allows players to shout orders at computer-controlled bots in the single-player action.

For $20 I will gladly deal with 6cds of disc swapping pain.

Did you even bother to find out what the difference is?

 

[DanTMWTMP]

Yup. Some extra bonus materials that are supposed to make me want to spend more money.

That and a USB headset so I can yell at people online.

 

[waylman]

extra 20 makes sense now. disc 2 of the dvd sounds pretty sweet

 

[BigJ]

Um UT2K4 is $40 for the DVD Edition Pre-Order right now at EBgames.com. Also, the CD-ROM is $40 also. I've already got in on mine.

$40 for the DVD edition with the extras and the headset seems like a bargain to me.

 

[LAUST]

Nice, Far Cry is supposedly ONLY going to be DVD also, bout time these game companies figured it out.
