: Ah - there lies the flaw to your logic. We would all know how much : extra space the speech would take up in the case you describe, so we would have : the option of buying it or not - and knowing what to expect. To illustrrate, : now that I have a 500 Mb Hd I WOULD buy the speech pack with 100Mb of extra : speech that would be present THROUGHOUT the game. And I am not the only one, : either. : Even with Strike Commander, if that had full speech throughout the : entire game (including the intermissions) then it was only - what? about 20-30 : Mb extra? (wasn't the speech pack a 12mb add-on?) Strike Commander CD is 149 meg, the speech pack adds about 6 meg onto the game if I remember correctly. Privateer is about 170 meg. That's a lot of disks :) -- .__________________________________________________________________________. |Internet: pfle...@scu.edu.au | | One hour from now WING COMMANDER 3 will be one hour closer to release | |__________________________________________________________________________|
