If I wanted to buy PSUPC, where could I find the best price online? Gamestop seems to not be dealing with it anymore.

Would I have to get both PSU and PSU AotI? (Wow, such newb questions. XD It's okay, though!)

Original PSU for PC, $9.99

Expansion for PC, $36.99

To play online, you would only need the expansion. The expansion disk in and of itself is sufficient to play the entire game. However, the scenes and story for the original content are on the original PSU disk.
So if you're only real concern is Network mode, then yes, you can just get the expansion.

Only thing i will answer on this is, no just get PSU Aoti.
Itīs a Stand-alone product meaning it doesnīt need the original to play online. =)

And in case nobody has told you yet, you don't need the original >_>

The only reason you wanna get the original PSU is if you care about Episode 1's story. But I am sure you can youtube the cutscenes or something anyway, and there's a transcript thread here as well. So its not worth the price and installation.

Just get AoTI expansion.

The game doesn't have a CD key though, so you technically can torrent it as well, though of course its better to buy it...

*awaits how many other ways "you don't need original" can be stated*
IMO, I would still get the original in case you ever have the strange desire to play the story. Besides, if you order both the shipping should be the same.... It's only $9.99 <_>

Well, I have the PS2 version. :3 If I want to play Ep1 Story Mode, I can do it on that.

Thank you all for responding! : D

Added: One problem, though. newegg has it out of stock.

Seems a lot of major retailers are no longer selling it. What's prompting your platform change google? Did you score a new pc or something?

I personally lost my copy a few months back when I moved. However I had ripped a disc image to my hd before that happened, just in case. Seems it came in handy ;)
