A regional version so they can give it to us at the almost exactly the same damn price. That's almost more nonsensical.

Different publisher. You have to remember that EA operate as several independent regional groups. EA US only allow their games to be sold in NA, while EA UK allow most to be sold worldwide.

Let's not forget EA Japan who don't allow games to be sold at all.

Impulse ( snail ) now offers Plants vs Zombies Game of the Year Edition .95

goty edition? what is the difference between that and the normal version?

no MJ zombie, and make your own zombies are some of the things i have seen

More - like 20 more - Steam achievements (Steam only), cloud support (Steam only) and a zombie avatar maker. Actually cloud support is cool.

hmm.... well......... i already have the normal version... might as well snag it thanks for the info kiva, and gyokzoli

If you have the normal version you can get a free upgrade to the GOTY version... no need to buy it. Also the game has always been $10 on Steam (aside from sales when it has been even lower).

ah... kick ass thanks for the info.... im guessing just a simple activation (on steam)will make it the new version......?

I doubt that you can activate the non Steam version on Steam, but worth a try.
Checking... I guessed right. You have to buy it on Steam if you want cloud and achievements.

Oh, ya, sorry, didn't understand you wanted to activate it on Steam. I think, however, the achievements were added independent of Steam across all platforms. Could be wrong, though.

You are right. The achievment were added in all versions, including the one directly from PopCap.
