when you click to download it should have the option to "save" or "open"


select "save" and save it to your desktop, from there you can copy it to disk

hope this helps

Since they sell it on a DVD, I'd think the odds are pretty good.

most standard DVDs are maxed out around 4 1/4 GB and even though there are disks that hold more including double sided disks it depends on the type of burner you have.

for the short term i would suggest you save it to a flash drive until you get more details on the size and if your burner can do the job.


worst case you just keep it on the flash drive perminently

Bear in mind that a physical copy is not much use.

So long as the Ubisoft servers are up and you have your account details,
you can always download a copy.

If the Ubisoft servers are not up or you no longer have your account
details, you won't be able to play even if you do have a physical copy.

i assumed he was refering to being able to reinstall the game as needed somewhere down the line.

Actually I asked that to Ubisoft help and they said they's remodeling their site in April and he doesn't know If it would still work.
I hope it will still work.
