Yes, you can pretty much only get the game on ebay.  There are often auctions
that include only the game and not the hardware. (For example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3085110532&category=4315 )

If it isn't clear from the picture in the auction that it is, in fact, the
double sided MPEG2 version of the game be sure to email the seller and confirm.
There have been instances where, even if it's listed in the description as the
MPEG2, double sided version, the item has actually been the single sided
non-MPEG2 version and vice versa.  Sellers sometimes get confused and copy and
paste descriptions from other places that don't realize describe a different
version of WC4 DVD.
