I really want to buy FSX when it comes out, but i heard its coming out on DVD-CD. Will it be able to work on my current CD drive for regular cds such as the previous FS games or do i have to buy a DVD drive?
Best Regards
John

DVD's can't be used with a regular CD-ROM, if that's what you're asking

If you have a newer PC it should have come with a DVD ROM.

I saw a DVD+RW on sale for $30 about a month ago. They're not that expensive anymore.

I just have one thing to say about that:
Get an allowance by doing chorse for the rest of the year. Hey, the year is young and you have time to start a new resolution.

Dude, one question?
Do you know anything about building computers? Cus
#1 I just got a Samsung DVD burner for $40.
#2 a DVD drive goes in your drive bay, not on your motherboard
#3 you would remove your CD drive and replace it with the DVD drive

Seriously, though,
Got a Samsung dual layer combo drive for $50.00 one month ago and didn't have to mow anyone's lawn.

I'm on the Air Force Payroll [semi-monthly], so I don't have to mow any lawns either [unless it's a direct order].
