Good place to buy Morrowind GOTY?

Post » Thu Nov 12, 2009 4:15 pm

Hi. Long story short, I have Morrowind GOTY for Xbox and Vanilla for PC, and I really want to play it on PC. I haven't been playing the Vanilla MW on my PC because I figure I've already beat that part of the game on Xbox and I don't want to play without the GOTY stuff (health bars, journal stuff, expansions).

Bethesda's Store sells it for $20 but that's without shipping. I should mention I'm in Canada. There are some great deals on eBay.com, even for the original 4 CD one with the Poster. Sadly not on eBay.ca. Most of the sellers on .com won't ship to Canada anyway.

Amazon.ca sells it, but no free shipping and it comes from the UK so I assume it's the UK version.

I guess I can just get the UK version. For some reason I wanted the original North American version... Oh well. I already have the poster from my Xbox GOTY.

Note: I should also say that it's not in any real life stores around here. (Middle of Nowhere, Alberta, Canada.)

Steam has it if you're interested in dealing with them. It doesn't come with the CS, but you've already got that on your CD.

Edit: Just saw your earlier topic about Steam. I don't have a lot of mods running, but what I do use work fine on Steam.

I nabbed it on Amazon.ca... It's from the UK so it's probably the UK version even though it's the "official" product sold by Amazon.ca and has the NA cover.

Can't wait to play it again!

What's the difference between the NA and UK versions? They're both in English, no?

I had to get it back on Ebay when I misplaced my main MW disc.
I live in VA and my Gamestop said the nearest copy was in mother-effing Florida.

Why is it so hard to get, now? :/

Yeah, they're both in English. There's no difference except the UK version comes in a cheaper DVD case (albeit it's on DVD instead of multiple CD's, so that's good.)

There's no chance (I think!) of the UK version having a new paper map (my old one is getting pretty rough), whereas if you got an original NA release it might. Plus, it's worth more and would be cool to have because it's a big box with like 4 cd's and a map and a manual.

Although now that I type it it seems weird that the UK version, if it was the original from 2002 wouldn't have the map. So maybe it did. But I don't think I've seen an older UK copy.

Steam is probably your best option. Although I got my copy off of Ebay and I live in Canada to. I maanaged to snag a CE of off it, ya just gotta ask before you bid if they ship to Canada, most will even though theyre listed as not.

I go to ebay.ca, which takes your search and shows only people who have indicated that their items are available to ship to Canada. It misses some that haven't specified though. Anyhow, I bought it on Amazon.ca.
