Well, you have to install their software first. Not my cup of tea.

If their free software doesn´t have trojans and if it isn´t annoying you everyday with "Buy gold version" everyday... then it´s nice! Just need a little patience for another registration page...
Free TDS... Weird. I thought Steam was selling it ?

Free TDS?
No thanks.
:p

For Thief.... I'd pay money. (That sounds weird)
I bought gold a few weeks ago. And it doesn't even run on my machines.
I laid down money for a game that doesn't work.
I love it!

I decided to try it. Now downloading at 233 KB/s.
Keep in mind, I actually considered buying a brand new Xbox just to play it back when it was launched and my computer at the time was incompatible with the PC version. Or vice versa.
EDIT: By the way, GameTap's (

http://www.gametap.com/play/gameInstructions/000284750) Instructions pages seem pretty well written for this kind of reissue. I was particularly fond of this phrase:

I bought DS first, and realized I don't have a graphics card that works with it. I'm not paying $80+ to play a $10 game. So I bought Thief 1 and 2 (forget which was first, I think 2 was). Then I played 3 at my friend's house on his pimped out comp :D But if I try this gametap thing, it still won't play on my computer right? Due to my graphics card?

I'd think possibly not. It's bound to be more or less the same engine, even if it's a reissue, right? Only the GameTap edition naturally doesn't have a CD check. The game files seem scrambled, too, as I don't even recognize the file names.
That in mind, I haven't even yet gotten the GameTap version to work, myself. I haven't traced the error to a definitive graphics issue, either. I'm looking into it perhaps being a virtual drive problem. Anyway, I was seriously sidetracked when I discovered that GameTap offered (
http://www.moonpod.com/English/about_mr.robot.php) Mr. Robot as part of their "free" (yet ad-financed) package, so quite a few hours were lost there. I haven't discovered any evidence that GameTap is a trojan/spyware operation yet, Gambit. On the contrary, it appears reasonably slick.

What's with size? The original is on 3xCDs or 1xDVD. I wonder if the version includes (all) movies.

That's because it isn't, it is a legit operation.
