I'm sure id wouldn't make you buy two copies. My guess (going by previous releases) is that they'll have all three binaries (a meg or so each), and a pak (or zip or whatever) file that is platform independant and contains the bulk of the game - maps, models, textures, sounds etc - 200-500 meg. So the same CD can be used on any system.
Claiming that theft is justified by high prices is like saying it's okay to shoplift because the CD prices are too high.
It is called theft by the record companies to make it sound bad (or worse). For example:
Someone makes an MP3 copy of a CD - what happens? Nothing. Your friends still has the CD.
Someone steals a CD from a store - what happens? The CD store no longer has the CD.
It doesn't take much to see the difference. In the first case the only thing that has happened is that the record company has lost a sale. But what if you weren't going to buy the CD in any case? What exactly have they lost?
My house was broken into a month or two ago and my 70 music CDs were stolen. Had the theives broken in and MP3'ed all my CDs, would that have been the same thing? Of course not.

Obscene is whatever gives the judge an erection.

Check out Macase - they have a a midi-tower that is about 7-8cm wider than your average tower case.
