just so you know, one reason steam works so well is because they have sales all the times.

They have a midweek sale and a weekend sale on one game, every week.

Then for holidays it's a sale frenzy :p

Rest of the time though I tend to buy retail and just instal.... more and more games integrate with steam and in that case buying retail or steam is the same thing but you have the box as an extra.

Steam now has achievements and chat functions... it's very close to what you have on XBL games wise...

Right now steam is a very viable option to center your gaming on.

So if you buy a game on Steam, are you able to enter your account and play it on another PC, or is it still limited to your PC?

You can play it on any PC provided you have Steam and the game installed on the computer you're going to play it on. You just can't be logged into your account on more than one computer at a time, however.

Also, if you own an OSX compatible game on PC (ie- Team Fortress 2), then you also own the OSX version.

What does OSX mean?
