It should be noted that Dead To Rights and Brothers In Arms: Earned in Blood does come equipped w/ StarForce.

So does the version of X3: Reunion that they're selling, BUT EgoSoft did release a patch to allow the game to avoid StarForce upon boot, w/ a NO CD Check in the patch! So, if you buy that edition Gogamer's selling of X3: Reunion, get that patch!

You know, I was kind of considering getting this just for fun, but when you factor in shipping costs, it just isn't worth it. Haha.

Edit: MysterD, I heard that Starforce eats babies. It's true.

Edit: MysterD, I heard that Starforce eats babies. It's true.

If you meant "baby" as in "game disc", then yes -- that would actually be true.

Explanation to the above:
Since StarForce via its drivers decides to actually spin your CD ultra-fast and measure your game disc as you boot, which can take a few moments before the game boots, it has done weird things to people when trying to do this -- such as eat your CD so it shatters the DVD/CD into pieces while it's in your drive ("eat babies", as you call it), reboot your PC b/c SF can't figure out if you actually have the real CD in there (even when you actually do have it in there), cause instabilities in OS's, cause your optical drive to no longer work, etc etc.

My SF Experiences:
I've never had major problems w/ SF myself, but I did have the "reboot my PC while real disc is in the drive b/c it can't verify the disc" issue a few times happen w/ Syberia: Collection DVD and Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon numerous times.
