VladP: 1. It's much faster and easier to install from CD on any computer than to spend traffic and wait.
2. Just re-installed all BGs, IWDs and PST on Windows 7 64 bit without a problem. Also, the enhanced screen resolution mod seems work fine.
3. Bonuses and extras for old games is a really funny reason to spend $10. They have been collected for years.
Any other reasons, please?
There are no other reasons. In that case, GOG is simply not for you. It happens.
(That being said, most people, myself included, honestly don't feel messing around with CDs is better, and there are some games that are very tricky to get to run on modern OSes. Patching up Thief isn't much fun, and the time saved there might be worth the few bucks.)
