There are only a few differences between the cd version and the steam version.

1. The steam version includes some of the game's soundtrack (MP3 files).
2. The steam version includes testapp.exe, what's it do? It launches Bully.exe and looks a lot like Bully.exe, that's all I know.
3. MadmaN says the steam version of the game is more stable for modding, but I don't remember any specific reasons why.

It's mostly the same, so you'll be fine.

...BECAUSE YOU PIRATED IT NIGGUH.

I PAYED for my disc. it has 2 discs, 1 is the actual game installation, the second one is the music. BUT, the thing is(even on steam version) some of the names are mistaken, AND it doesn't have all of them, nor all intensities. Ripping the music is better imo.

I bought the disc version, the game runs fine at medium settings. When I try high settings it starts to lag I may need to upgrade my graphics card on my new laptop.

Unless you have the money to plonk down for an overpriced Alienware gaming laptop, it is better to game using a desktop pc. Cheaper to build...even a budget gaming rig that costs approx $500-$600 can play most of the games out there pretty well.

Far as to DaBOSS mentioning my comments about the steam version of the game.....

The steam version of the game is far more stable than the normal retail/cd version for a simple reason.....it was recompiled with the option to address 4+ gb of ram.

Testapp.exe is the debug build of bully.exe and if you do a little bit of lua coding....it will allow full access to the hidden debug menu that the devs used during the test phase of the game. Due to everything that DaBOSS...myself and others have done....kinda is pointless now since DaBOSS has far more options in his super mod versions than what Rockstar ever put in their test menu. It is still pretty cool nontheless.

There are also some script differences between both versions of the game but the differences are very very minor and unless you know exactly what to look for....you will likely never spot any difference between the two game versions. Just wanted to clarify that while it was on my mind. :)

I did end up buying both versions and usually the steam version has less glitches then the normal PC Disc version. The steam version renders faster also so areas aren't always disappearing. When downloading the patch it fixes this.

Just an edit, I plan to buy a Desktop soon just have to save for it. I've been saving for a new car so kind of waiting for anything new.
