The case has been opened and the game is now non-returnable. What are my options? If I borrow an external disc drive can I just install the game and then play it without the disc, or is the disc always necessary? Can I sell the CD (it is opened but never been used, obviously) on Ebay or something for a couple bucks cheaper than I bought it for and then buy the download online? Argh! This was my birthday present and I was so excited! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.101243 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 19:34:39 -0800 birthday computers discdrive games arcticwoman
