Visiting STEAM today I noticed that Quantum of Solace is avalaible for $50 bucks... argh!!! Angry importing to mexico in December cost me $110 USD, but wasn't at the time on steam or direct2drive (also is impossible found it in retail here) <--- that's the reason of the importance of worldwide digital distribution.

Anyways i think that is expensive this game is for $50 (you can found it for $29 USD in amazon or gamestop)

I agree with you... boxes, boxes and more boxes or well towers and more towers of cd's is more convenient have all games in a digital distribution service.

Don't you like to have the actual physical material, along with a manual? I have a shelf full of games here at home and it looks great Smile

I used to, but the more I use Steam to buy games the more I am liking it compared to having a shelf full of games.

mmm interesting question some gamers prefer digital distribution for storage other prefer it retail boxes.

I prefer retail boxes when is a "Collector's edition" like "Age of conan", "Unreal Tournament 3", "Hellgate" or "Fallout 3" (I loved the lunch box!) because they have more stuff. However when is a simple paper box or a big plastic box with 4 pages manual I prefer it Digital Storage with a PDF manual. (I move constantly and big retail boxes such as shadowrun or crysis boxes are a problem)

I think that in the future the retail boxes must be only for "collector's edition" copies with a lot of stuff like the above (booklet, lunch box, bag or anything else) and the digital distribution version of the game only with pdf manual but.. cheaper.

for instance: Retail collector's: $60

                     Digital only: $30
