It would be really helpful if you would let us all know after you have
purchased your retail copy of "the Witcher2" the following critical
information:-

1. Is any copy protection present?

      If so, what type (Securerom, Tages....) and the specifics of the
      protection scheme chosen ( on-line authentication, disk-only
      protection....etc. ).

2. The Publisher of your retail copy.

3. The ORIGINAL source of your retail copy (EU, UK , US ......). I am
assuming here that your copy will be "English-language" 

I assure you that all the above information is necessary when picking
one's way through the retail copy-protection minefield.

Thanks in advance.
