I hope that enough time has passed for people to forgive Remedy for the original PC cancellation. This really is a fantastic game.
@ Sir Tobbii It's going to be a Steamworks title, which means you have to register on Steam regardless of where you buy it.

You can still copy the data from the disc though and bypass having to download 15GB over my terrible capped internet.
The fact that it registers on STEAM is even better cause i will have my game added to my Library forever instead of standalone shitty DRM.

Actually, boxed PC games have been largely irrelevant to SOME of you. Many of us still very much buy boxed PC games. Consider The Witcher 2, arguably the biggest PC exclusive of the year: as of last count, retail boxes accounted for no less than 80% of sales.
Sometimes I get the impression there is a large disconnect between industry professionals and the average consumer. My guess is that industry insiders, for obvious reasons, are the first to adopt the latest and greatest technologies, and since they are surrounded by other industry insiders, it may look like EVERYONE is using said technology. Which is probably why we keep hearing the "experts" proclaim the "irrelevance" of retail and going on and on about the cloud when in reality many of us haven't even embraced digital distribution yet.

Personally I still like a hard copy of a game no matter what its on, even if I haven't bought a PC game this way in years. But then again, I'm JUST getting back into PC gaming after not having a great system to run things on for a while.
When I said that, I was referring to people who read this site, not the general gaming public. Two very different crowds, in my opinion.
More to your point, I think there is a lot of truth to what you're saying. I also have to wonder what it would look like if we compared digital vs. retail "copies played" rather than sales.
Because then you'd include pirated copies in the digital camp. Even if you canceled out repeats (people who pirate and then pay later), I'm sure you'd see a much different end result.

If the code in the box registers the game on steam, and it's cheaper to get the box, then I'll get the box.
Nice, already have the 360 version but would love to get this too since I'm a collector. I'll however probably wait until the price drops a bit.

Yes, forever. Until your Internet connection has issues, or you need to ask permission to reinstall a game, or Steam stops working for any number of reasons, or developers put their own protection over Steam's, or Valve's servers have problems, etc....
Steam is DRM. It's no different than any other type of DRM out there. And no, "Offline Mode" means nothing when you have to be online to set everything up and basically get permission to go offline. Steam is great for sales, but saying it the "better DRM" makes me lose faith in gamers a bit.

One of the reasons boxed copies continue to sell better is the price. Always frustrating to see a collection our bits and bytes sell for more than a physical product.
@pedro steam is the best kind of drm. If you dont like the measures that they put in place what possibky else could you want. Hurr durr complete freedom now. There is nothing wrong with steam.
@Corey
You joke about complete freedom, but yeah, that's what I want. That's what games like Braid and Super Meat Boy had, and they've sold just as well as any big-name company games. If those tiny developers actually give a shit about their customers, then the companies who don't even have to worry about money should at least make an effort. Sadly, they don't.
Like I said, Steam is great for sales, but that's about it. There is no "best kind" of DRM. There's no difference between Steam and what EA does with Origin. They are literally the exact same thing, but from different companies.

Way to show what a dunce you are Jordan.
Steam can actually be more expensive then retail products depending where you live (for example, almost all of Europe)
Instead you seem determine it's merit from your standpoint alone, and not even think of others. Are you sure you're cut out to be a reviewer?
I know i really like this gesture from Nordic games, and i'm sure many others will too.

I am not wonder to heard this news because if you want more revenue then company do similar things to increase company revenue but PC games have potential market for revenue. Still users like to play game on PC like Zynga company. They are earning via Facebook.
