BG on DVD

Hello!
I am sick of my scratched old discs. I am soon getting a new comp, and with it a dvd drive. Does anyone know if BG is out on DVD. Maybe something like BG1 and tales of the sword coast on one and BG2 and ToB on one.
I found this http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... e=standard
But I am unsure about its contents.
Perhaps someone here uses a DVD with BG on it.

the games+expansion pack packages come with the original number of disks (e.g. 4 for bg2) and the expansion disk.

i'm afraid there is no dvd, but tbh, you don't exactly need it, once you've installed bg2 (if you do a full install), you only need the expansion disk to play

I do remember a friend having a DVD with BG + Totsc on it. I'll ask him.

Yeah I know a full install and you dont need it but it just seems neat. And I need to get a new game as the old is unreadable anyway. I dont mind paying twice for such a great game either.

Well, there is a German DVD version of BG1+TotSC at amazon.de (Link), but I have no idea if it is available in other languages as well...

You can play BG2 without the CD if you have (bought the game

and) a full install. Just download this:

AFAIK, warez are not tolerated on this forums, and even if it seems that it's for a legal purpose, cracks stey illegal. About the DVD version: my friend indeed has one, but it came with a Packard-Bell PC from 4 years ago, so I doubt you will find it somewhere. Bad luck

When you need something obscure - go to ebay. I just did a search for "baldurs gate dvd" on ebay and came up with a copy for $5.

Sometimes the obvious method is the best....

I'm pretty sure it's out there, tho i doubt you will find it at your local softwareseller. Just browse google

youll find it! GL HF

Scratched CDS

The BG2 engine also can't tell the difference between originals and copies... I copied my ToB after the install, and when it scratches, I toss it and burn another.
