Jito: thanks but not the perfect solution your thinking it is...
the reason you fail to see the appeal of a physical copy is, your circumstances are different, you are not in my shoes. I do not like the hassle of all that firstly when playing becomes work I stop and do something I enjoy, I live in the mountains where internet service is poor to characterize it nicley, my discs ( the best games when not in use- about 7 of them total) are kept in a gun safe so they will probably last longer than I will, so in fact yes they are far more secure. I also do not like having my gaming PC on the internet at all and until recently there was no reason to ever do so.
I play games on my PC at home in the mountains, on my PC in town at the GF's and sometimes at work, Baldurs Gate's and Fallout's are portable compared to this new DRM BS. I paid for the game- I want to own it, I dont want hassles or endless hoops to jump through. Also like I really want one more account anywhere for anything.
Raze I bought a copy from a retailer in UK (mail order $65 plus shipping which I was willing to pay because it was touted as being an actual physical copy), then still had to download it for 7 hours, and this was in November not day one, so I appreciate the why but the how and the what is more important to me. Price was not the object either ( I never said I would not pay extra for what I want nor did I put a price tag on what I was willing to pay to get it), time, ease, portability and reliability are the issue, not money...while I am not wealthy I will spend the money i do have, on the things I want.
