Should i get ME2 CD Copy or Digital (and should i get the deluxe edtion)

Get the digital version (Steam) honestly. I think it's the same price/cheaper.

I perfer a disc copy nomaly however i don't want to deal with DRM.

I have also been thinking imight be a good ideal to wait for the goty edtion. What do you think?

If you liked the first ME or 3rd person shooters in general get this game. The DLC's are really well done as well. Ihave not gotten the chance to place Shadow Broker yet but I have heard good things thus far. Also I prefer digital copies personally, especially through Steam.

does anyone know if there is going to be a steam sale soon for the masseffect games?

Just one other point to note here. I bought the boxed version of ME2, but actually was able to use it digitally. See EA lets you register your CD key with them if you want and you can download and play it without using the DVD (only with their download service though, not with steam or anything). Even though I have the box sitting here in my desk, i never once have put the actual DVD in my computer.

I'll probaly get the digtal edtion from steam to avoid DRM problems

If you decide to go with the digital version then save a bit of cash and stay well clear of the "Digital Deluxe Version" it really offers nothing above the standard version except a crappy collector armoured suit and a crappy collector gun. You probably won't use the armour once it is that rubbish, you may use the gun once, just long enough to see how crap it is and never use it again ;)

As to those waiting for a GOTY edition, I am not 100% convinced there is going to be one yet. The standard version of Mass Effect 2 comes on 2 discs, the DLC so far is coming close to maxxing out a third disc and there is more DLC rumoured to be coming. So a GOTY edition will require four discs this would make it prohibitively expensive on the xbox 360 not to mention it would require a crap load of disc swapping. I know this is a PC forum but I think we can safely say if they don't do a 360 version GOTY then they sure as hell won't bother with a PC version.

Very true, since gamers want a fair treatment for all platforms. however there s no fair treatment since consoles can't handle BIG games properly

I got the boxed copy... but i buy all my games retail on launch day so :P Do what you rather I guess =/

Do you like having to deal with a dvd in your drive every time you want to play (Disc) or keep an application open while you play (Digital)?ShadowDeathX

I bought it a week ago for £14 from Tesco :P Already finished it, its a serious blast though. This was mostly because of the depression I was in due to the fact that my copy of New Vegas STILL HASN'T ARRIVED. PLAY.COM SUCK.

Dvd. If you get it first hand, You get access to the cerberus network, which has a few free DLC which are quite fun. I don't think the digital version has the code, but don't quote me on that.
