any difference between them and their retail counterparts? my lady friend gave me need for speed: porsche unlimited that came with her fathers compaq, and i noticed the product key has oem in it. i just read a review on gamespot that was talking about all these features of the game that i dont seem to have..... i guess you get what you pay for, but i was curious.

Ocassionally there will be something insignificant missing from the game. Like a silly bonus level. Sometimes they are an extended Demo. But 90% of the time they are full versions of a popular game that is around 1 year old. With my first GeForce Card I got UT, I never noticed any difference. With my SBLive card I got DeusEx, Thief2, and some other game which I fail to remember. If anything seemed missing from DeusEx than I'll never know, the game was awesome.

Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.

The games that come with videocards, I think, are the full version, but you can buy cheap versions of the games at Best Buy for example that might not have every level or are simply a demo. Usually you can tell though. If a game costs $5 you probably aren't getting what you think. $9.99 and above though and you're probably ok.

I never finished Thief2, I got bored with Thief, now that you've said that I really dont want to dive into that game again.

Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.

its almost worth it to see how bad the ending is.... i kept replaying it b/c i thought i missed something. i liked thief 1 a lot though. actually 2 was really good except for the lousy ending.
