how do u know that ........the game is a DVD and if it will be released on PC-CD then it might be 3 cd game(2 gb game) just as doom-3
 
I think they will definetely have the sense to release it in both versions because they have to realize that not everyone has a DVD rom.
 
better get a dvd drive..it's pretty cheap these days and useful to have.
 
If it is only dvd, buy it, create an iso image of the game, or bin then mount it using daemon tools, hey presto no need for a dvd drive :)
 
but how can one make iso image of a dvd if the person has only a cd-rom drive.He can't create an image by inserting a dvd in a cd-rom.
 
If it's DVD it can only run on DVD. The suggestion would be to get a DVD-ROM drive, which is extremely cheap these days. Or you could even get a CD-RW/DVD combo. If that is not an option you could buy the DVD, go to a friend's house with another secondary storage device (an iPod or an external HD), copy the contents of the DVD to the HD, take the HD (and the DVD) back to your house and plug it into your computer, copy the folder to the desktop HD, install it, find a "No-CD" patch and run the game. However, if you have to choose between buying a DVD-ROM and an external HD, I would say go with the DVD, every time.
 
I had to do the above because my laptop does not have a CD-ROM drive (for Cricket 2004). :( After all that trouble, my school reformatted my laptop again with no privileges, so I'll have to do it all, again, in June.
 
They better release The game on Cd-Rom as well,I have payed 500 dollar;s on this game and now I have to get a DVD rom This is just getting out of hand.
 
Don't worry,they will 100% release the game on Cd-Rom as well.

Because there are many people around the world who don't have a DVD rom.

Not necessarily, there have been DVD-only releases before and the number will only increase- DVD-ROM drives are incredibly cheap now, there's no reason not to have one and game companies shouldn't be bothering to support people that are using outdated technology
 
But Codemasters here cannot afford to release it DVD only.

I agree with you about the fact that companies should not support people using outdated technology, but they will end up releasing it in both versions to get more people to buy the game.
