Fry's Electronics might have it in store at the jewel case games section, you might want to check that out if you have a Fry's nearby.

They used to sell these in a 2-pack with Soulbringer at Best Buy. I dunno if they still sell them now, but it was originally $20, and then it hit $10 IIRC.

Yeah, this how I obtained my copy of this game a few years ago. I think I got it at Wal-Mart, too.

Holy crap that game shot up in price. I eyeballed it for the longest since I love Black Isle. It used to be availabe from amazon.com and nothingbutsofware.com for like 6-10 bucks. Either as the double pack or single now nothing but sofware wants 60 for the stand alone and amazon wants the dual for around 25 thru private sellers. Thats a heck of a jump in less then a year.

Do you have any evidence whatsoever to support this? I own both versions and have done direct comparisons: they are exactly the same. The only reason one version is only 2 CDs is because new compression techniques were used. This does not degrade quality - in the same way that putting a file into a WinZip or WinRar archive does not do anything to it other than decrease its size. Also, a lot of files on the 4 individual disks of the original release were duplicate area files from previous disks (when the player could return to some previously visited areas on other disks) which further saved space once those duplicates no longer had to be spread across 4 disks.

Woah, it did shoot up! When I traded my copy more than a year ago, I traded the 4-disc complete copy with the giant box for a mint Kingdom Hearts: CoM + guide. I thought it was great deal at the time, and it was... but it would've been better if I kept it now. Ah well.
I had a compendium of the Greatest RPG Archives that I bought for $10 at Kaybee some years back. That shot up in price, and I sold it for like $60 or so as well, considering I never played it (old school PC RPGs, like Wizardry 1 - Gold; M&M, Stonekeep, etc)

I think I have the two-disk version in my basement...do you have a tradelist? I know I'm not going to be playing it again.

[quote name='NoRain']Not to hijack the thread but didn't a lot of the Black Isle people get absorbed by BioWare? The company thats gonna make me buy an XBOX 360 because of Mass Effect.[/quote]
No, they formed Obsidian Entertaiment. Which, coincidently made sequels to 2 BioWare Games (Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Neverwinter Nights 2). They are now working on a Sega Game I beleive.

it used to be at gogamer, but no longer.
Yeah try for the 2 pack with soulbringer at fry's or walmart but that reprint was years ago.
It doesnt look THAT bad on ebay. $35 or so, but some went for $50 complete.
If you like this try arcanum of steamworks and magik obscura. Or Kotor. Or Baldurs gate. Very similar games.
Sheesh i still have the discs and manual, but no longer have the cardboard box(i think). The money some people are paying is just nutty.
