I agree magnetic, i want a box and a manual for the games I buy too. Not just the game files on my comp. The thing is that I've reinstalled the game three times already, (long story), and only one of those times it was through the original CD's. Its just so much easier than having to re-download the update files. Its far easier to make a back up of the game files and stick it on a dvd. Its ironic that the best version of the game then, is on a DVD-R.

Also, Half-Life 2 did'nt even come with a manual, damn them. What you did get was a flimsy piece of cardboard telling you the default key bindings. I would at least expect an electronic manual. But lukily I can let it slide this time, because if there was a manual it would probably tell you more about the story of the game than the game itself did. But thats also why I liked the game. The plot is there but it doesnt get in the way of the game. If you want you can puzzle it out through the scraps of information the game tosses you.
