My question is geared more towards formats than gaming. I have bought and beaten Icewind Dale. I bought from amazon, and looking back, the CD version is the only one available and consequently teh one I have. I run the CD (there were two diferent ones when it came) in the DVD drive. It has always worked. The first of the disks was for setup, and I had to use disk number 2 if I wanted to play the game.

When I went back to Amazon to buy Baldurs Gate, I originally ordered the CD version for $20. When I did a little more exploring, I saw the DVD version for $50, and one of the reviews mentioned changing CD's many times as you move through the places and that thge DVD was worth the extra price...

Do any of you have the CD version and wish you had teh DVD? Vice Versa? The conclusion I came to based on reading the reviews was that the CD ROM version shouldn't be running in the DVD drive. The only other option I have is the CD Writer drive. So would the CD version of BG work in teh DVD, too?

As you can tell, I'm not a hardware or software wiz... I am addicted to the games, though, and want to continue. Could you clear this one up for me?

TIA, very much.
