Wow guys, thanks for all the responses.

Steam seems to be the destination of choice.
The Unreal Deal (All Unreal Tournament/Unreal Games) sounds awesome!!!
Steam also has a Jedi Knight compilation that I'm super interested in.

I still unsure of digital distribution though, so every time you format your PC you have to re-download your games. I really want Crysis on disk, I think it'll be fun to install it in 10 years time an laugh at the PC melting graphics... on my netbook or mobile phone!!! Haha

PS. I'm miffed at Kalahari, I wanted to by CoD4 mid October with eBucks, when the price was R183.00. I waited till pay day only to learn it's sold out (clever ploy gearing up for MW2). So I monitor them and Take2 daily (homepage tab) for stock, but when they get stock it's R273.00 WTF?!?!

Thanks again to all posters.

BT games got the COD4 GOTY still for R180

Yeah well for old games its a must.
Well I hear you can save your steam files and when you format just put the steam files back or something, have not done it myself yet but before I format I need to read up on it as well.

You can backup your steam games. The app has a buldin backup facility. You can them burn that to dvd or backup to another harddrive.

When formatting you can just copy the folders back in after installing the steam client and it will work fine.

Never had any issues with steam.

Sweeeeet!!!!!!!

(So you could actually move your games between PC's as long as you have Steam client and the interweb? What would happen if steam shut down?)

Go Go local steam server!
