DVD vs Download

Both have SF. You should probably get the DVD, you can install the game as much as you want.

Hi and welcome to Subsim
The DVD is the way to go
D\L has limited installs

Enjoy your stay

DVD is always better. Then you always have a copy ready to go, without the worry if it has been installed to many times.

Welcome, Wilcke!

With respect to your question, I have the DVD, but would just as readily purchased the DL version. I preferred to have a the printed material, so I went with the former. If you purchase the D2D DL version, you're not limited to a specified number of downloads, so that shouldn't weigh into your decision. Not to mention you can always backup your DL to a DVD.

I have the download version from Direct2Drive. I keep the download on my computer so I dont have to redownload it all the time, but you do have unlimited downloads, just limited installs before you have to request a new serial. When I ran out of installs I simply emailed Direct2Drive and they gave me a new serial to use, within 24 hours of my request.
