BloodyBeatsteak: I usually don't buy retail games anymore, too. But this time I ordered the collectors edition. ;)
green.anger: You've got the griffin, stop complaining!! ))
BloodyBeatsteak: And no: there wasn't a hint that this is not a working game. Is it actually allowed to sell a game, which is not working without a separate download? With this in mind, you can't even call it a day-one-patch anymore.
green.anger: Well, they sold it to you. And we both understand even if you sue them, there are almost no chances to win this one.
I'm pretty sure, that a game which is designed as not working without a patch can cause some heavy legal problems for CD Projekt.
Edit: on the wrapping it says, that a internet-connection is necessary for installation. but htis hint is missing on the amazon-page.
maybe you guys at CD projekt should edit your product-description there. ;)
