I actually agree with the OP except for his delivery. I bought the physical collector's copy of DOS and am loving this game FYI. But growing up and playing pc games starting from the 80s, i've grown to appreciate big boxes and the tons of stuff in it. It's such a big bonus for me to have physical items and thick manuals included in the box. Makes me get into the game much easier and makes me feel that I bought the game in such a bargain.

Also I don't like the idea of DRM. While it does prevent piracy, it actually decreases the resale value and overall value of the game since no one can reuse the keys except if trading the whole account. I believe that once you buy a certain product, it would be much better if you can resell it or trade it around. So my collector's edition is not much of a collector's edition since it is not really valued when used.

DRM is not a deterent either since there are also downloadable copies of games that have been cracked. So I guess the best thing for me still is the physical copy CD check.
