CoV Spec Question

[Ceili]

I read on the official site that the install for CoV is 4GB ... is this true even if you have CoH already?  I mean, there has to be some program overlap, right?

Can anyone with Cov and CoH shed some light, pleeease. 

How big an install we're talking about here is sort of make-or-break for me on weather or not I'm actually going to purchase CoV, so some insight would be keen.

Thaaaaanks!

If you have a installed, working copy of CoH, patched within the last 2 days, you have CoV.  The only thing you need to do to start playing is a CD key.

You can buy those online, or by picking up the retail box (there is no difference in price, and buying it online doesn't give you the retail box).  Once you have the key, you simply upgrade your account (Do NOT add a game, that screws you) with the new key.

The total size of my City of Hero's folder is 5.1 GB. Yup its huge so big that its the only game on my computer now, but like Brak said if you have CoH installed its just a small (2 gig I think) download and you have City of Villians as well. Then all you need is a CD key.

Yah the CoV 2GB download is on my gaming computer. 

My awesome nerdy boyfriend bought me CoV this morning.  I found it on my desk when I woke up. 

I'll to the account upgrade as soon as I get home!  Yaay!
