Probably all on one disc... it might have the SSOTYE extras, like the Templar campaign, too...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I saw in Target (on the Value $10 shelf) FS1 and Silent threat packaged together. But, like all the games on the Value shelf, they weren't in a full box, just a case big enough for the CDs. But, what set this box appart is that (have you seen those wallets where to can fold them closed backwards or forwards?) the two boxes where interwined so that when you had them closed one way it was a box for FS1, but if you flipped one of the boxes completely around the other, then it would be closed and be a box for Silent Threat.

The point: If they're making these cool funky box, and putting the games on DVD... it seems like they're still trying to squeeze every last cent out of the games... so why not make *mmph! mmmph!* [JoeK has been bound and gaged for his views, this post is over]

I think it's in my local Electronics Boutique (game store), I should probably buy it since the CD version is kinda over-used.
