Skyrim, the special edition back in 2011. I do kind of miss buying the games physically especially Civilization and Age of Empires, they threw in a lot of stuff extra like tech trees, overviews of civilizations and units.

Yeah, I hope Civilization beyond earth will have those extras in the box instead of PDF files on the disc.
This was very useful to have with Alpha centauri, and looked great too. Alt-tab and zoom in on a jpg or mess around with a pdf sucks in comparison.

I doubt it though, you can't even fold that map to fit in a dvd case.

I should be getting the large box edition of Wasteland 2 soonish, seems that Kickstarter project is coming out in August. Promised worn cloth map and old school instruction book. I guess that makes Wasteland 2 my last boxed pc game, not deus ex: hr.
Civilization beyond earth will be it otherwise, doubt I can download it once, nevermind twice, and I'll certainly want to install it on both my desktop and laptop.

I have been digital on PC for awhile. The last game I can remember buying new in the box for PC was Soldier of Fortune Payback the day it came out in 2007. LOL, what a disappointment after the completely amazing multiplayer that was Soldier of Fortune 2. I do however, buy all my new AAA console games in box though. It's a space issue. I have been out of space on 360 and ps3 for at least 2 or 3 years, and out of space on vita since pretty much day 1, and I can see it happening on PS4 and X540 within 2 years from now for sure.

/EDIT: Actually scratch that, I bought a retail box copy of Rage in 2011 or 12.
