So I managed to crush my old FL disc this past weekend as I moved and before I noticed I had, I deleted my entire WinXP install in favor of my Win7 install.
So, I know I can buy it online at Walmart, RadioShack, and probably Target but they don't offer the ability to download it now and I am an American. I need instant satisfaction.
Anyone know any websites where I can buy the game and download it? Or must I simple wait for it to ship? :P
It's a bit hard to get old games online. Not retail I mean. Haven't really found any... well, a lot actually, but not "legal" ones.
I would personally suggest putting on shoes and going to closest shop. Even tho it's old they still have it at very reasonable price almost anywhere. At least in Europe, that is. That's what I did when I broke my disc hehe.
I buy things I don't want to make an impression on people I don't like.
I just got a new disc for FL for 10 bucks on Amazon. Also, it is absolute HELL to install Disco on Windows Vista, good luck with 7, don't know how hard it is for that.

I just installed everything on my new laptop with win 7. No problems at all . . .
I didn't even have to go through all the steps as stated in the forums . .
For me, it was really not much more trouble than on XP . . .
(10 bucks on Amazon? Might not be a bad idea to get me a backup copy . .)

EFFIN' ROLEPLAY GUYS ... off to flood we go for that - Hoodlum
You own the game... you bought it, you have every right to legally re-download it. You aint screwing anyone over by downloading a game you already bought.
Now, would you like me to tell you why downloading through torrents a copy of Freelancer is a bad thing?
<Yes, Agmen, tell us, because we see no negatives to it!>
Quite simple, really. There are torrents out there - especially the ones that are hosted in Russia - that are borked. Game works GREAT for single player. BUT - the person who made the torrent didn't copy the bare disc. He copied the opened disc - with modifications to several .ini file.
Need I remind anyone just how many people we banned for minecheating?
