    I got this for my son last week for his summer vacation time. It takes 30GB of hard disk space. Any idea where I can download the post program patches. I bought this on a 4 disc DVD.

    Steam will have the patch, not sure if the store bought game runs a different patching system ?

    The store bought DVD has 4 discs and as soon as it completes on disc 4, it starts to run autopatcher, which can take a while, and the game runs only after it patches. It is a pain to install what with the huge space it takes.

    Any point in not installing it on C:. Will this work:
    Install Max Payne 3 (or any other high resource game) on say D: (non OS). The registries and everything are on C but the game takes up space on D:
    Image C
    Of course, if it goes away from D (through deletion/format), then the game will not load anyway.
    My laptop's C drive gets imaged by acronis at 15GB without Max Payne but at 43 GB with it.

    Also, since you are my friend, are a gaming expert, and have advised me in the past; what other game can I buy for my son. I am not looking at site downloads (download size), and would prefer single player format. My son is not fanatic about gaming and I would not like him to spend hours on any game. What about BF3, COD, GTA, SIMS. etc. The laptop is win 7 x64, core i7-2760qm, nvidia 525m, 8GB DDR3 1333.
