Actual PC DVDs don't make much sense to me anymore. They can get damaged. And with Steam, you can download your game onto any computer with internet access, without having to worry if you brought your disc with...this is great for friends that come to visit and want to play a game together, LAN parties where one person doesn't own the game, so he can quick buy it at 1 am and play within the hour, etc.

Plus with most PC DVD games, you need to insert the disc to play the game. And that's just tedious and unneccessary, when it's definitely possible to do without using the disc. Yet so many games still require it.

And you could always use Steam to burn DVD backups if you really do worry about such things.

But I'm one of those who like having the box, the manual, etc.  Maybe that's why I'm a sucker for most collector's editions. 

I guess I'm probably just like Calvin's dad.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
