So, I just dashed into town and back to get the new title, as a result of all the hype I got caught up too having originally dubbed it as nothing more than a new SP campaign etc etc. Anyways, I bought the DVD copy, a hard copy, not a download or anything; get it home, pop it in, steam asked me for a verfication code thing, I shrugged it off, most titles seem to need to be registered with steam these days, started installing, and it's now downloading the entire thing, instead of installing from the disk, which it surly should do, right? I'm not gonna sit here for like, 5 hours, when I have the game on a disk...
1. Close Steam (File > Exit). 2. Go to the Start button and select Run (XP) or type Run in the Search box and choose Run from the list (Vista). 3. In the Run window type:
"C:Program FilesSteamSteam.exe" -install E:
Replace E: with the CD/DVD drive you are installing from if is not correct. Replace C:Program FilesSteam if your Steam installation is not in the default location.
4. Press OK. Your installation should continue from the disc.

Ahha! Got it, did a reinstall from the autorun, and now Steam's woken up and started installing from the disk. Im quite lucky with these things, I tend to get away with just restarting stuff to fix problems. Thanks! (Close thread pl0x)

Alot of people won't purchase a game without trying a demo first.
