I had the five-disc version, which came in a cardboard sleeve with spots for six disk held together with glue that got all over the discs. I remember being royally pissed off that Bioware (or Interplay) cheaped out by using a cardboard disc holder rather than splurging for a multi-disk jewel-case. The six-disk version that came out later was the one that included the expansion disc... which now makes me wonder: was that the plan from the start? Even in 1997, was Bioware holding back content with the plan on selling it later? They truly were a developer ahead of their time! I still have my original discs. The cardboard sleeve is long gone, and good riddance!
