Since the game never got to stores here (Israel), I had to do exactly that. No hi-res, no movies, etc. When I joined the community and discovered what a huge amount of questions the endgame movie left people with, I knew I had to get the game properly somehow. So when my dad took a trip to the USA, I had him bring back a copy.

Worth every penny.
