Re: No DVD/CD thingy
I use a no-cd patch always, for any game that I
buy. Less risc of damaging your disc, and of course it's much easier - you never have to look up the disc...
And yes, I've got an original copy of Fable TLC. I think, if you like a game: buy it. People work hard to create the cool stuff for us to enjoy
(I also use a 'patch' to disable the intro movies, but that's mostly due to modding. When working on a mod, I can launch Fable up to 30 times a day...)
