Frankly, I never liked the fact of buying a game online and never hold a physical copy. Before some 3 months ago. There was a game (Torchlight) that I wanted to try right away, but unable to find it in store (here it’s almost impossible to get a decent game if you don’t go to the “big city”). I would have ordered through Amazon but a quick googling led me to Steam where the game has a 50% rebate on it.

If you don’t know, Steam is basically an online game retail store. Back to the point.

I enjoyed the experience. Checkout was fast, download the game was fast and the addition Steam has made to the game (like achievements) had a positive impact on me. Heck, your save games are stored on the CLOUD, how cool is that! I can play on my 3 computer and never have to worry of that.

And they have really big discount on weekend. And even free trials (Multiplayer Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2).
