It seems no one has noticed a little website called Direct2Drive.com ? They have been quietly distributing full fledged AAA PC games, digitally, and for full price, for at least half a year now. I believe this will be a viable alternative to retail purchase. It is so much more convenient to download a game then go to the store and buy it, even if there is a wait involved.
