Guest Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Hey I need to know the difference between Difference Between PC-CD and DVD for computer games.. I'm thinking of buying GTA: SA and the store only got DVD Version in.. So I want to know what that is like is it a video or what? Thanks to whom ever answers this
Si|ent Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 There is no difference, the data is just spanned across the CD's for those that don't have DVD hardware.
Guest Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 So.. I can't play the DVD Version cause my computer doesn't have a DVD player on it?
Slothman Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 i thought san andreas ONLY came out on dvd. And yes, you need a dvd drive, without one you cant use it. DVD roms are super-cheap these day, go to a pc store and get a 2nd hand dvd player for 20 buck, or even a combo for 30. Watching dvds on your pc is great, but soon a lot more games are going to be released on dvd cause it makes a lot more sense than swapping around 4 disks to install/play a game.
Si|ent Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 So.. I can't play the DVD Version cause my computer doesn't have a DVD player on it? No, you can play the CD version however which is identical in every way except it is on multiple CD's. (didn't I already tell you that?)
Si|ent Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Erm, yes I did. There is no difference, the data is just spanned across the CD's for those that don't have DVD hardware.
darkdreamingdan Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 I dont think GTASA was released on a CD version... As for a DVD, unlike most people think, it does not stand for Digital Video Disc, but Digital Versatile Disc. You can basically think of it like a CD with 4.7gb+ of data to store. You need a special CD drive to read these. DVD Video Players are able to play video stored on these discs. For the DVD version of GTASA, you will need a DVD reader on your PC or it is unreadable.
Si|ent Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 GTASA isn't available on CD in the UK, it is elsewhere however.
