Hi' i'm a noob when it comes to PC gaming but am going to start. I was just wondering, since i have crappy internet(downloads about 250kb/s so 22 hours to download an average 20gb game) if i could get playing the game faster buying games on discs. i'm asking this as i know you have to install or download the game first and not sure how much of a difference it will make.
thx in advance :)

If time is not of the essence for you then i suggest download. If yes then buy :)

If you do decide to download, you might want to look into backing up the games on discs. I know most people say you can just download them again, but that's another 22 hours so...

Usually if you buy a game on disc it will have the files you need. However, you'll most likely still have to download updates which can be pretty large on their own.
