As hard as I try, I cannot locate a new copy of System Shock 2 anywhere. The closest I get is used copies on amazon/ebay. It's nowhere to be found in any of my local stores. EA's own website has 'disowned' the game.

It's driving me crazy!

Does anyone know where to find a copy?

    Thanks for the link. I'll have to keep Froogle in mind.

    Unfortunately, all the stores it brings up link to Amazon when it comes to buy the item.

    Man play.com is the best, usually cheaper prices than amazon sometimes a few bucks more, but free shipping makes it even cheaper.

    But they don't have system shock 2 :/

    You shouldn't be so afraid of ebay. I've been buying and selling on there for almost a year and I've never had a problem <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, people seem to always tell horror stories about eBay, but I've never had a problem with it.

    Always got my stuff on time and always received my payments on time.

    Yeah, eBay is looking pretty much like the only way to get the game. I can only think of two more local stores that may have the game.

    EA's own website doesn't sell the game. Why? The game must be popular if you can't get a copy anywhere.

    I'm pretty sure The Underdogs is a legal (non-warez) site to link to, but if I'm wrong one of the other mods can feel free to slap me into next week.

    Man. Just reading the reviews from that site make me want the game more. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Like the guy who got stuck in a room with no ammo and low heath, and something outside the door. What'd he do? Start a new game! rofl!

    Not another one *bangs head on table*

    It ain't legal! Don't download it, do the honest thing and buy it!

    The thing is, YOU CANT BUY IT.

    Abandonware is legal, because there's no one to take profits from. They don't want to make it anymore.

    I hate EA anyways. I say fair game. They're honestly just being a bunch of nazis. <i>Honestly</i>

    This is easily a case of 'no plaintiff - no judge'. Let's leave it at that.

    Coil, see you next week <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
