After reading NobleNick's post I immediately went to amazon.com to browse for HoW. They do have it listed for $30, but it is 1)not currently available and 2)listed as a product of Vivendi Universal. [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] Vivendi Universal? Even BG, SoA, and ToB are all listed as products of Vivendi Universal. Corporate earthquakes, eh? For those of you who haven't purchased HoW, follow NobleNick's advice and find it soon and find it fast!

15 minutes later....
I did a little bit of looking, and found that Vivendi Universal has the exclusive distribution rights for all Interplay games for North America (but that won't explain any lack of availability elsewhere in the world). I wonder if Interplay will be the same now that Brian Fargo is gone? He had been the head of Interplay ever since the "good ol' days" of Bard's Tale I (and now my age shows a little).
