9.99 bucks on Steam and you don't need to bother with any parts.

[Archdemon Cthulhu]

yeah, with it so cheap, pretty lame to pirate it.

Like he said. I bought it on steam because i didn't want a pirated copy and since my xbox one doesn't work that well on the 360 I just decided to give up 10 bucks on one of the most beautiful games I have ever played.

So you don't want to pay the $10 price tag to support Bioware (however little it is) for a game that still holds more than its own today and is arguably one of the best RPG games out there? That's unfortunate. And just thought I'd add, this is a very clear breach of the site rules (no topics of illegal or illicit nature). Where are the mods out here...

[NWN DM]

Not a good idea... going on a company website and asking how/where you can steal their work... generally frowned upon.

[xHazySpyx]

A game that is so good deserves to be bought not stolen.

I bought my game from ebay for £10. Which was a bargain considering it was in excellent quality and the disc doesn't have a single mark on it.

hehe i bought my copy from direct2drive for 10 bucks then found part 2 for 20 bucks from a local best buy in town who still had copies of KOTOR II

Honestly, with TOR less than a year away, it would be both in Bioware's and LA's best interests to not only give the original Kotor away for free but advertise it and host the download on the front page of their website. Why you may ask? There are still many rpg and star wars fan that still havent played this game and just telling someone its good sometimes isnt enough to open up their wallet and pay for a 7 year old game (even if it's only $10). If people can play the game for free and get addicted to it (because they will) it will be much easier to sell them on TOR regardless if it comes with a monly subscription or not.

I for one dont care how many times you bought the game and im sure the rest of the people on this board dont give 2 shts either. The fact is it's a 7 year old game that hit it's peak several years ago. It would actually do more good than bad to just give the game away for free and I fail to understand why or how a big business like Bioware or Lucas Arts fail to see or understand this.

For record you dont need to be rich to play video games and if you really think you're that much better than everyone else on these boards because you have alot of money you need a serious reality check. Nobody likes snobby scum but then again mommy or daddy probably gave you the money to begin with.

So, basically, what your saying is...

"Big businesses like Bioware and Lucas Arts should offer their games up on their websites for free after 7 or so years to 'advertise' their new games."

which is basically the equivalent of

"Halo 3 is coming out! Quick, lets give away Halo 1 and 2!"
or
"Modern Warfare 2 is here! Let's give away Call of Duty 1/2/3/4/etc!"

Contrary to primary belief, games do require money to be made. And one major way game developers and publishers get money is by selling the games that they develop. Regardless of how old the game is, good games should be bought to support their developers and publishers. It can lead to better quality games in the future

So that extra $10 you might have to fork out to get a copy of the game, in combination with the rest of the world's money toward that game can add up. For instance, now that TOR is on its way, people may want to play the first two games to get a bit of backstory. So 1000 people buy the first two game for $10. Thats several thousand dollars goes back to the developer/publisher toward future games

In reality, giving away games that took thousands upon thousands of dollars to develop just isn't the way to market your game. People will begin expect that game companies will give away games for free, and just wait to play them when they become free

Lets be honest here do you honestly think Bioware or LA is actually making that big of a profit right now on Kotor? Through the 7 years its been out Both companies have probably made their investment money back 10x over (if not more). How many people buy that game a week? Maybe 50? 100? Lets go with 50 because I highly doubt people are lining up to purchase this 7 year old game anymore. So $500 a week... now cut in steam or another online provider because you cant purchase the game in the store anymore then split the profit by whatever percentage LA gets and give the rest to Bioware. $150 a week? $200? $300??

Now lets give up that $200-300 a week, which is basically what someone working at mcdonalds makes, and instead look at it as an investment to get new fans of the series so that when TOR is released you could not only go back to selling Kotor and getting your $200 a week back but make thousands more than you would have from all the new fans you created. Did I say thousands? Lol monthly sub.

All I'm saying is there are people who havent played this game that have no desire to ever do so... BUT nobody is going to pass up the opportunity to download a FREE game just to try it out. Why do this with Kotor and not CoD or another game you mentioned? Because Kotor can still stand on its own it actually is a good game that isnt selling well anymore and will get 70% of new players addicted to it. With a huge game like TOR coming next year, why wouldnt you attempt to gain new fans of the series?

Honestly I dont care. I have a copy of the game I dont need charity. All I'm saying is that its a reasonable idea that could potentially make both companies more money in the long run.

[Harley_Dude]

I would gladly pay $20 for the game to be recompiled and updated to HD on the 360. Same for 2, especially if they added back the droid factory.

[Knosstik]

Personally I would be annoyed if they did put it up for free (which they won't because it's a stupid idea) because I paid good money for an awesome game which is now going to be enjoyed by all the people who couldn't be bothered to spend $10 or even $2.50 when it went on special.

[Chris Priestly]

I suggest you look at popular digital download sites and buy it from one of them.
