Because packaging means you have a great game. Even when you don't talk
about steam you are an idiot. Of course, you still aren't talking about
games you've played.

in the US...

i'm extremely surprised if not even shocked by knowing US didn't have
the "deluxe" Painkiller packaging i saw from a friend, its really a
great shame

i'll try and describe the packaging i saw, although it will be difficult
cause my english is bad... but here it goes, painkiller uk cd version
inside it had
.. small manual (it was not the manual which impressed me)
.. the usual registration card, voucher for clan server and erratum
now what i think was for me the best box of 2004
in the box it had
.. box in high quality cardboard which for a uk edition is a rarity cause
most of the games come in plastic
.. cover was good with the painkiller dude, background in black and in
the bottom in dark red a group of monsters we find in the game
.. at the box sides we had, top the great painkiller lettering, in the
side we had the same and in the bottom we had the system requirements
.. in the back cover it had screens and info about the game in a sheet of
paper which when you took of the plastic covering the box it came out
cause it was not glued and you would then see the back of the box with a
image of some kind of wall in red blood, this detail was very good cause
it made the box even more consistent and special
.. the box was a one piece only, with no separate parts, were you unfolded
in three, first the cover to your left then two times to your right to
uncover the cds, and each side of the cds it had a see through high
quality plastic to keep the cds and in behind it had the same image of
the three monster printed in the cds
.. cd-rom version (3 disks) each with a different great high quality print
out of a game's monster which when inserted had the image alined with the
back image printed bellow the see through plastic
.. when you unfolded you saw in front of you the cds but in the back it
would create a single and continuous very high quality screenshot of the
game's action

there are even more details about it that i probably missed but overall it
was a packaging you really don't forget and you only whished more games
would come this way

was the painkiller US edition so different from this one?

i think it will be difficult for the Gold/Black Edition to beat this
packaging but i'm extremely curious to know if the US and UK versions
will be so different like the original Painkiller was and specially what
kind of packaging will the gold/black edition have
one important note is they talk about a "limited" edition

btw, i never saw the Painkiller expansion package

it was always important and it will always be!
pc games will always be a "package" product!
would any real gamer choose to download Painkiller when for the same price
he has a terrific packaging that will not only keep his cds in a safe place
but at his own is a pleasure altogether
any gamer with sensibility knows the game "package" in not only to protect
the game but something we gamers appreciate
i thank dreamcatcher for thinking about us gamers and doing a package with
quality, which only means they care about us, something a publisher like
valve is completely the opposite... hl2 package was the worse of the worse
no manual, cds in paper sleeves, a plastic case and a horrible cover
but i don't expect you to understand mr hank
and yes i'm still here despite all your dirty moves to silence me
fortunately there are many many people in the world which respect above
everything freedom of speech and pluralism, something you don't!

Ah yes, Valve is ugly. The moment you jumped the shark. You still haven't
talked about any games you've played. Of course now the truth comes out of
your post. This is just another veiled attack on Valve again. And you
claimed you aren't obsessed with Steam. It's funny, you claim to have a
three-year old computer and can't play new games. So even if Steam wasn't
around, you still wouldn't be able to play HL2. I think you and Lewis need
to see a psychiatrist. So much hatred in your life is not healthy.

Where did I try to silence you? The stuff you make up about me.
I'll take the above statement as an answer to my first question, "Yes,
individual.net threw me off."

How about all three or just take it on faith that the guy needs to be
plonked. He's gone here.

too.

If difool does actually have any games at all, I suspect the only packaging
he gets are .rar & .zip files.

no! they didn't! fortunately!
its the only news server i have access to, the one from my isp has
a very bad news feed and it only receives 1/3 of the posts
at this point in time i can afford to pay for a news server which i
did in the past
that server is my only link to the usenet!
thank god i still have it! cause it would be very damaging for me
being throw out and cut access to newsgroups
like many of the pro-steam i think you also tried to do it, try to
damage me! and why? only cause i'm too passionate for pc games and
i'm fighting the biggest threat to it, valve and steam!
shame on you mr hank and every pro-steam who tries to damage me!

You're damaging yourself better than anyone else could.
