I experienced problems with it myself with SH3 on my old PC as the DVD drive was rather old and I also have Daemon Tools installed for several Disc images (legal use) and Starforce didn;t like that!

Moving back onto topic with the release date of SOW - I would hope to see it some time in 4th Quarter 2008 but in all realistic scenarios it is going to be put back into 2009 at least - based purely on the lack of updates/ official news/website.

Not sure, but the US version uses something like "SafeDisc" which apparently is not good but not too intrusive but the Australian version of 1946 uses a Sony product called Securom (which is used by a number of other major games from various companies) which installs a root kit and is so intrusive many people refuse to purchase games that use it. To the extent that many Australians buy the US version over the internet.

Hopefully SoW will not use such stupidity.

As for the original topic, I agree 2009 at the earliest. All these "where is SOW" posts are fruitless and stupid.
