Right now System Shock 2 (and 1) is out of print so your best option is to try to hunt down a copy on eBay. Also, Good Old Games (www.gog.com) has it listed as the number one game people would like to see but they do not currently have a license to publish it so that would just be a place to keep an eye on for the future. Copyright gives a publisher the exclusive right to distribute or not distribute a title for its period so unfortunately System Shock 2 (or 1) may be difficult to acquire.
Please do not post any links to infringing copies of either System Shock 2 or 1. This thread may be closed or offending posts may be edited if illegal links are posted.
So, eBay is your best hope.

Yeah your best bet will be eBay since they are now out of print (but still covered by copyright) or i have found a few copies avaliable on Amazon:
System Shock 1:
http://www.amazon.com/System-Shock-Pc/dp/B000VRTRXS/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1234579440&sr=8-11
System Shock 2:
http://www.amazon.com/System-Shock-2-Pc/dp/B00004XRBM/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1234579440&sr=8-10
They cost a bit but thats probably because they are hard to come by these days
I had a look and there are a few copies going around on eBay at the moment. Probably expect to have to pay a bit for them if you want them. Maybe a cheaper copy will come up though, just look around :)

EA is a *****. I sent them an email 3 weeks regarding System Shock 2's unavailability, I didn't even get an automated response back.
Also, Dead Space is NOTHING compared to System Shock 2.

I would kill for another good Thief game. I miss Garrett talk about great voice acting.

I'm looking to buy Dead Space and System Shock 2. I am new to the survival horror genre. Bioshock was my first s/h game. Can anyone recomend good s/h games?
thanks

I looked for it for ages... My boyfriend hunted down a copy for me, he found it at a small gamestore tucked away in some flamarket.
