buying game for relative and they have bioshock:infinite for 39$ for disk. $9 for digital dload

only thing is no disk, nothing else correct

And are they always that much cheaper for digital dload only?

Also, if bought on steam, i can gift to people, correct? gifting wasnt available on amazon.

i'm not, i'm all about no disks, but the wife wants to give her brother the gift, and surprise him.

i'm like, seriously, he's 37 years old, does he believe in santa also. He was cool with me buying on steam and gifting several games. I told her to take care of it herself, i'm out.

She wants something for him to open? Is he "special" too?

Yes, and i'm dead serious. She wants him to be surprised when he opens his gifts, i laughed, and told her she can take care of it now, buy him some shite clothes from kohls or something.

He isn't a special one, but she acts like he is.

Purchase a Steam Key for it, print out key and put it in a box, then wrap.

It is better to Steam.

No one even has desk drives on their PCs anymore.

I do.



But Steam is still better. I just use the optical drive for just-in-case convenience, and occasional blu-ray/dvd archival of my most important files.
