Hello, I am looking to purchase the game. Which do you prefer; Online Download or Physical Purchase? And to what extent is the game mod friendly?

I like the purchase for the box.

The game is very mod friendly. Check the mods forums at http://s7.invisionfree.com/SAIS_Forum/index.php?c=4

But what if you want a more eco-friendly version and you need to play the game RIGHT NOW?!

Buying the box is the only way to go, having the physical manual and cd is well worth the wait

I went for the download so as to not wait. Not having packaging to throw away is a bonus, and I'm not sure the paper manual is necessary either (unless it has a lot of stuff about modding).

My box was evidently opened at the US-Canada customs, and there was a sticky fingerprint on the CD. It's impossible to clean. I managed to copy the game installer to my hard disk, but parts of the CD (the game demos) is unreadable.

So yeah... don't trust the physical world, and go virtual!!!
