I dont know what to think I have all the other games on steam and im thinking of just getting Skyrim on Steam.... is that a bad choice? Idk since everyones talking about going to game stop D: i know it would be cool to have the CD but i lose things easily.

Does it even matter?

idk. does it?

If it is handled like Fallout, then even with the CD you have to download it through Steam. The only reason to get the physical copy is for the preorder bonuses and haveing a pretty case to look at.

Oh. well then the hell with that. ill just get it on steam xD

I like having a hardcopy especially when I'm installing games get to read the manuel

so my recommendation is that you buy a hardcopy.......guess this topics going to be closed in a couple of seconds

I thought all the Origin games were Origin-Exclusive now ... that EA was basically saying NOPE to Steam's service.

::shrug:: I buy most games on Steam now. I bought New Vegas that way. You have to authenticate through Steam anyway now, so if you don't care about the physical case, why not? I find it easier than going down to a store at midnight, driving home and installing it. Instead, by buying it on Steam, I pre-load the game before hand, then go to bed and wake up AT midnight, spend 10 minutes letting the pre-load decrypt and then start playing. Easy stuff.


What does that have to do with anything? Skyrim is developed AND published by Bethesda. EA isn't involved in any way.

Normally Steam would be first choice for me, but not TES. I have to have the map that comes with the game. It's just part of the experience for me.
