Maybe downloading a game is the newest thing, but I'm kind of old fashioned, and if I'm going to pay money for a game, I want it in a box with a paper book. I've been waiting months for this game to come out on cd. will it ever be put in a box?
What about buying the download and then burning your own CD? You can ask them if they would provide a printable CD label. And you can also print out a copy of the manual for your flipping pleasure.
