Hi,

just got an email from amazon with this offer:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0009PO ... em_1p_3_ti

I'm think this is even more than the game cost on release.
I'm sure the seller hopes that the consumer thinks that this is the new EA SWBF

Ah ah.... :funny2:Good luck to the seller.... I bought battlefront II on Steam 9.99, no more

£5 for the PC-DVD version from Morrisons, IIRC. This is, of course, going back a few years now.

honestly, I bought my current copy of BFII for $2.99 in the recent Steam Lunar Year sale. which is funny because i began to seriously consider buying one of those overpriced Xbox ones until i realized that my PC could probably run this game

I'd really like to know whether there is someone who pay 50 € for this old game or not.

Bought it on release day for retail price, then on a Steam sale years ago to not need a CD. Recently I bought the GoG version so there was no DRM at all.

I got the original 4 disc set (v1.0) in 2011 for $12 and a few months ago in Steam sales for $3
I got it for PS2 in 2009 for $4 at a used game/media store.

Less than for Battlefront EA, but it was already an old game when I got it for PC. I got it in 2010 as part of the fan favorites 1 collection for about 19.99. I've had the PS2 version since around 2005/6 and I negotiated a lower price, I don't remember what it was. And also don't forget about inflation, SWBF2 probably would have cost about the same as EA SWBF if it was made today.

Am I the only one with an original release copy still functioning??

Jep I have the DVD.

I paid for full retail price when it came out. And bought it again for $5.99 during a steam sale.

I paid full retail price in 2005. I saved allowance money for a few months and shelled out $30 at EB Games (Canada's Gamestop). I have not bought the game again on Steam or GOG because I love the feeling of using the game from its original form. I have had BF2_1 in my drive for about 3 years now because I don't play any other retail-bought games. What a sad time we live in. I love the convenience of being able to buy and download a game at any time, but I hate that I don't have any physical proof of ownership. I miss the days when buying a new game meant preparing a place of honour on the games shelf.

Anyway yeah, I have the 4-CD set right next to me here and it was less expensive than that one on Amazon.

fully agree. a while ago i bought Assassin's Creed Unity on amazon, and it was cheaper to buy the DVD Version instead of the digital copy. So i have the DVD on my games shelf And no they did not put just the uplay installer on the DVD, there are 5 DVD to fully install the game

I had two original copies, one of which was a birthday gift and one bought personally not long earlier. Some discs from both sets have stopped working, but I have a working 5-disc set that I believe mixes a disc or two from both. I've been wrong before about discs though. Point is, I've had my copies since 2005.

I also even had a PS2 copy around the same time, but no longer possess it. Would buy it again in a heartbeat just for the nostalgia -- I played it on PS2 first.

No I still have the original release of Battlefront I, Battlefront II, Renegade and Elite Squadron originals for PS2 and PSP.

I think I got the Xbox version from either Target or Fred Meyer in 2006 for like $50 or something. Then, I got the PC (CD) version for $20 from Best Buy in Christmas 2007, and then the Steam version a month or two ago for $10.
