If you can hold out on the dial up, I suggest downloading it then backing up the download file to CD or flash drive. The $12 extra isnt worth it, IMO. And if you have never bought the game, $52 dollars is expensive. OOTP has come a long ways, Version 9 is very fast, if you have a crappy/slow computer with no ram in it, then the game will be slow. I personally have 6 gig of ram in my new computer, it runs very fast. On my XP machine is runs good, but for example version 6.0 was a crawl. Anyway, I hope you find a solution. You might beable to get a discount soon if you wait. I am not sure if the price will be coming down or not.
