I see that there are DVD copies of both the "regular" and "Editor's edition," with a $10 difference. Outside of mod authoring (Which I don't really want to do), is the extra $10 for the preloaded mods and the avoided hassle worth it?

Having it on DVD instead of 6 CDs alone is worth $10 imo.

I would say no, they aren't worth it. Half of them you won't care about, and the other half you can seek out for yourself.

It probably saves a lot of hassle, Installing from 6 CD's is a bitch, and there are a lot of great mods, moreso than Half-Life.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Just go with the standard. Noone really plays that many mods anyway.

 

[BuddyC]

You can download everything included with the Editor's Edition, it just might take some hunting. Regular will also stick you with having to snag a shitload of updates, but that's beyond the point.

 

[Matlock]

Buddy has a valid point.

And for those of you mentioning six CD's, it comes on DVD format in both regular and editor's, just like I said above.

No. A number of mods have been updated since that release anyways, so you'll have to download some of them again. I would just save the 10$ and download whatever mods you find interesting on your own.

And you make a very valid point as well. Hrm.

Alls I know is that the first thing I'm doing after I buy UT2K4 is find Unwheel.

The updates should be really simple to find, once you find a site that has one, they usually have them all. It's just gonna take some time to install them all.

The mods and the updates to the mods are pretty easy to find. Just go to this link:
