It's much handier.
No limit to how many times I download them - so when I have to change drives or computers I just download my games again.
No bother with lost or damaged disks or forgotten serial numbers.
I get my games from direct2drive. ( I don't know anything about Steam, but I gather they are the same sort of company.
Don't hold out as pretty soon the only way to buy any software will be by download.
Young, new software companies are bringing the cost of games down and saving you the distributors fees and the cost of packaging. Not to mention that the environment is better off without all the plastic, cardboard, inks and other crap that goes into the making. Plus there is no shipping costs, postage costs nor fuel burned to ship the game across the country to a store near you.
in fact if you love the planet don't be part of all that terrible waste.
Go Green! Go Digital!

Agreed, but you should really start using Steam, it's miles ahead of any other digital downloading service out there.
