To my knowledge all the DVD are the Ubisoft version.

Yes it's the ubisoft DvD.. I couldn't find reference to any other version when I was looking for a DvD copy.

Great Trooper glad you got one. The best install experience and usage is with the DVD version. If you have a link for others to buy the DVD version Tropper can you post it please? It might help others who are still looking for the DVD version which is tricky to obtain for some regions.

Thanks.

Information for France : got a brand new CFS3 DVD a couple of months ago for 6 or 7 euros from Amazon.fr

Hi mate, got mine from Amazon uk, just checked back on the site and it now says 'currently unavailable' so I must have snapped up the last one

Ah pity well lets hope they get more - at least they had some

Here is 1 new one, plus 7 second-hand ones from German AMAZON.
(The first review you see there was written by me - in fact it
is rather a review about OFF - Mmuahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!)

What I'm always supprised that OBD does not sell any of these CFS3 DVD's as an option with OFF for those new customers who do not have a copy of CFS3.

Yankee Air Pirate as a option, used to sell Wings Over Vietnam to those who did not have WOV in a bundle since WOV was the base for the YAP / YAP2 add-on. Once ThirdWire started selling WOV as a download, this was not necessary because new YAP customers could easily get the base WOV game and then purchase YAP / YAP2.

Since UbiSoft does not sell CFS3 as a download (that I know of), all new OFF / WOFF customers still need a copy of CFS3 if they want to play OFF / WOFF. Selling a copy of CFS3 as a option could be an easy way to help new costomers over come this problem if they do not currently own a copy of CFS3 and thus be less reluctant to purchase OFF / WOFF because they can not find a copy of CFS3.

Panama, OBD cannot simply sell other companies software.
They'd have to buy the copyrights for it first.
Would perhaps be worth to ask Microsoft though.

Olham:
I think you are misunderstanding what I was trying to say. I'm not talking about buying game copywrites, you just have to buy some DVD's like any other vendor would and sell them as an optional DVD with OFF / WOFF for those new people who do not have this 10 year old game.

Since it's in OBD's best interest to sell more and more OFF / WOFF games, having some CFS3 DVD's on hand reduces the hassle of new people trying to find the required CFS3 base game. Remember, no CFS3, no OFF / WOFF.
