Pre-Order Skyrim for Steam or the Store ?

Should i pre-order from steam or should I actually go to EB Games and get the hard copy with the map? I'm leaning more toward the store because you get the actual disc and later on I can re-sell it.

Why though? What are the benefits of steam?

Oh really so even if you buy it from a store it still gets tied to your steam account?

direct 2 drive has it for cheaper, I bought it there and activated it on steam. its $53.95 from there. saved me $7 after taxes. I already have my game preloaded.

I chose retail because a)I want that cloth map for my cloth map collection, b)It's Steamworks so I'll have it on Steam anyway, and, probably the most influential c)15% employee discount

Pre-orders at certain retailers do.

I preordered it on Steam. It was $90, yet saw it today at a shop for $79. Can't figure out why digital is dearer. Does it cost more because server hard drives have increased in price?
Not too worried, Bethesda is worthy of taking my hard earned money.

[QUOTE="LittleMac"] Im sorry to say that Skyrim will not come packaged with a cloth map, not even the mucho collectors edition...

i got the super awesome box with statue, and my housemate just got hte ultra regular edition on the disc, both from the same retailer here in australia (jb hifi where i work) and boht came with the cloth map.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"][QUOTE="spittis"] Indeed, I just received my copy and it had the map inside. It doesn't seem to be real cloth though, more like the kind of paper used for paintings. It's pretty stiff.Phoenix534
