To Download or to buy DVD/CD?

Hi all,

why would I download HL2 via Steam if I can buy the game for the same
price in DVD or CD version? At least then, I could sell it again
(unlikely, but not impossible). Am I missing something?

Cheers,
Shug

Technically you can't sell it (read the EULA) and if you use it online
then if you do sell it the new owner can't use it online.

You're right about one thing, after I bought CZ through steam I will
never do that again, it's a disk in a box or nothing for me.
