Download limitations

Users are given 6 months from the time of purchase to download a game. This period can be extended to two years, via the Extended Download Service, by paying a $6 US fee.[5] This is unlike most other digital distribution platforms which allow users to re-download their purchases in the future without limitations. There currently is no option for you to make a personal backup of the downloaded software. This means after six months that if you need to reinstall the software/game that you must repay the full price

You see.....I feel even more dirty now for crawling back to EA......





Although they gave Gamecommunity free Beta keys, so they're actually awfully nice chaps, and jolly good sports!

Yay for having a disk sat in a case!
Still never understand downloads, £24.99 for limited edition, in a nice shiny box.
£34.99 to have to use your own bandwidth at a speed dictated by them (last download i did from steam was only 7GB and took several days at a few kb/s) and BFBC2 is going to be a mother of a download, GLWT! :thumbr:

Do we still have to have a disk in t'drive while all the techno geeks dont have to?
Or do they have to put in an old AOL disk to make it work....? :bookworm: :bookworm:

direct2drive...... unlimited downloads. :twisted:
no disk to find/break..have to put in drive....

the only draw back is patches have to be from them.... :roll: but mods work......

Leave steam outta this! :rambo: , Steam still keeps my games from years and years ago up to date ready for me to play, dosn't charge me a penny, I'd much rarther have this then having to keep all my cd's and cd keys safe, Also you can backup all the games I have in one easy file ready to be automatically installed when I format my PC, just one click and every game is installed and updated. :thumbr:

As jfk said. Just rebuilt a pc and whacked steam on and downloaded mw2, css, all half lifes, red orchestra and dragon age while I was at work, downloads fast enough for me!

And had bfbc2 downloading today too!

Job done
