^^Both of them are non-Steam though. One benefit of buying a digital download is you don't need to bother about the discs. As long as the distribution service is live, you can download and play your games any time.

Also MP3 often goes for sale at $5, don't know if the disc version is cheaper than that.
yeah but who has he time to download 30 gigs of data again and again? the same can be done by downloading the game and using the CD key right? (correct me if im wrong)
the only disadvantage is that youll have to store the key some where safe..
also you dont usually need internet to play games from CD's...which is like super great...
(but now a days **** DRM policies for us...)

OK thanks for the info. I thought that only I had problems.

BTW you gave a notification to some other member of forum as his alias name is "anand" and you just mentioned him in your post. :D :p

Well there are 0 player servers and very few PVE ones. I only saw a handful of them so far.

You don't have to download again and again in Steam, you can just download once, and can take a backup which you can use to restore the game in future. :)

Also, are there any restrictions on buying from steam using indian debit cards?

Thanks

Dude, you are too lazy to google that?

LMGTFY? Link

Most of the big ones work. I tried with Canara Bank, BoB, AXIS Bank and it just works fine. All are VISA BTW.

Either use the backup/restore feature on steam or copy the game folder from lappy's steamapps folder to the pc's steamapps folder then verify game cache.
