Newegg Games Question
Hey,
After some of my friends pursuaded me to get gaming, I went online in search of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Of course, my first destination was none other than Newegg. As I am pretty picky on prices, I always look for the lowest possible price. I came across the BLIZZARD Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (dvd box), which seems like the thing I was looking for - the original game. However, I was first, puzzled at how it could be 10 USD when originally, it's around 30 USD, and second of all, the meaning of "DVD-Box". Has anyone got any experience with gaming online purchasing? All I need is the software and a CD-Key (which comes in every other retail box). Any help is very much appreciated  Thanks, kram

From the photos it looks to me like it comes in a DVD box like Xbox and PS2 games.

Yep - when you zoom into the photo, it does look like a game case. It does say "CD-ROM" on there, signifying that it is a software, just is it some type of demo, or is it the retail really game that I can play with a legitamate CD Key? Newegg seemed to keep my pondering about that
 .Thanks, kram |

It says it is retail and I see no reason why it wouldn't be the full game. I trust Newegg to know what they are selling. You could always send if back if it's not what you want.

Oops! Didn't see that. Anyway, I'm confident that it's the full game.

Ok - thanks Hi Ho. I'll trust your instincts and go with it along with my entire system purchase (signature) on the 28th (Intel CPU prices drop).
Thanks, kram |

If it's not what you want, you are only out 10 bucks.
