I prefer hard copy's meself (DVD/CD), never fancied meself of them Downloadable ones (Direct2drive for example).

Also I dont see myself download 3+ Gb

, the game is quiet big.

the only drawback of a DVD/CD is that you can scratch it...but hence...guessing you would be backing up the Downloadable version of the game on a disc the same thing could happen.

but yet again, I prefer DVD/CD versions
