Steam or Disk?

What's the best way to buy the game? Steam is more expensive, but is easier to install, requires no patching so is that worth an extra £8?

I bought it on Steam. I was cheaper for me, and the boxed version still waiting for release

I'm surprised that so many guys say that Steam is more expensive, in my case it was much cheaper. (36$ on steam, which was 5800HUF, the boxed version here in Hungary will cost 8000HUF + 1000HUF delivery cost. 5800/9000 is a huge difference I think)

I bought the boxed version from Play.com for £18, that's about £5 cheaper than it was on Steam.

So I waited for a fortnight for it to show, and when it does it will not install from the DVD, I ended up putting my serial key into Steam and downloading it anyway.

Was a bit miffed that I'd actually waited the two weeks only to have to download it from Steam anyway. But atleast it was cheaper, so it's not all bad.
