I'd get Steam for sure...the automatic updates combined with the Steam Community overlay makes it great for chat. edit: I forgot you can use the Community overlay even if you buy a non-Steam game anyway.

Except for today I guess...the overlay causes the game to crash. ಠ_ಠ
Should be patched within a few days though.

You can have the overlay in a non-steam game. Just add it to steam. I was pretty late in discovering this, but it's a cool feature. Automatic updating is a great advantage for steam though. The other advantage is that you're giving a lot more money to the developer than you would buying through retail.


 Wow, I just added Battlefield 2 to the Steam launcher and being able to have the overlay is pretty sweet.
