EvilGuy: Going on a limb here in assuming you are in your 20's ? Steam is a bad idea in the long run. The average game is completed within a week and very little replay value offered. With Steam you are unable to loan it out to friends or to sell.
That aside think of future "retro" collectors, and how people go crazy for old stuff now. My mom threw away all my old boxed games from the 80's and 90's and they would be worth a lot of money these days. Digital downloads are worthless, and you might as well be going to the time-proven Fairlight for it.
I don't see how you are saving money, games I bought digitally were the same price as retail box like Blizzard games and Bad Company 2. I put alot of hours into BC2 I should have got the box so it could sit on the shelf next to my other BF1942 games.
