    Why is SF:Battlefront II $100 everywhere???

    I had SF:BFII but my dog chewed on my CD and I need a new copy, but everywhere it's $99.Am I missing something here?Last time I check SF:BFII was only 19.99.

    If he was asking for a free replacement, I'd be skeptical but since he's willing to buy it for $19.99 NOT $99, I believe, and cannot blame him.

    Now out on Steam. Other then that, if you genuinely own the original copy, downloading it and using your same cd-key is a-OK in my opinion.

    Not only is it OK in your opinion, it's fully legal. Doesn't matter where you get the game data from, it's whether you own the rights to use it.

    ^ two above posts are correct, nothing wrong with downloading a copy if you own the rights to it.

    Im thinking about picking this game up does anyone know if the online component is still busy or are people not really playing anymore? The reason i ask is this game has been out for long. Thanks in advance.

    I bought if off STEAM because I longed for a Star Wars game, it's pretty good, there's always a couple really populated servers and then a few others not so populated.

    I use to play part 1 on PS2 and it was really solid. These games have alot of polish. I never got to part 2 though.
