been playing the orange box which I purchased the retail game for £9.75 from a online store,
this game installs & runs on steam & I looked at some of the games that you can download on steam & what I thought would be a lot cheaper than actually purchasing the retail disc they actually are more expensive to download the game which is absurd,looked at modern warfare 2 & this is £39.99 to download this from steam I would of expected this to be at most in the low £20's,was gonna get the BFBC2 but this is still £34.99 to download (i dont get it),so pre-ordered from play.com for £26.99 which gives me early beta access code too,I could of got it a few quid cheaper too but play was the only store giving out beta codes,So happily I cant see digitally download taking off anytime soon in the near future & replacing owning retail discs,might work for music chart singles at a £1 a throw but not £30+ retail games

You'll have to use your brain on digital purchases, The advantage of steam is they will offer deals too good to pass up but you're right it is often too expensive compared to a boxed copy.

I'll have to keep my eye out for any offers then
