Difference?

[Snuffles]

Is there a difference between buying an actual copy of a game from a store and buying from STEAM?

[Xente]

with steam you just buy the game and download/install it

[Gaika]

you have it permanetly on your steam account.
You can re-dl it on any computer.

However, buying it from a store makes you have the actual CD.

But once you activate the game within Steam, you can grab the files from Steam instead if you ever lose your disk.

AKA - if you have a shit connection buy the disc <3

A lot of games can't be activated over Steam though. For instance, my copy of CoD4 can't be activated through Steam since I bought it at EBGames.

Buying from Steam is a lot easier. But I think the real question here is "Is there a difference between Deimos and the perfect love?" The answer is no.
