Seems like gamemakers are finally realising the potential of DVD and adding extra features/bonuses etc rather than just having uncompressed game data on there.

UT2004 was like this with all it's extras etc. Are there any other games that have extra stuff?

Oooooooooooooooh, crap with some free additional crap. Let's see just how many idiots buy this version.

Or download it.

That would be a HUGE waste of bandwidth.

The Sims 2 is going to be a far way better and an awesome game compared to it's predecessor, The Sims and all it's expansion packs(seven). I believe it will surpass it's predecessor superbly, due to what I've seen so far on The Sims 2, what I've read as well. Can't wait to play it, any Australians out there, I've gone to EB store, they told me the Aussie release date for The Sims 2 is September 16th 2004. Going to pre-order it this Friday.
