Thanks for all the posts

You are correct about it being twice as much in stores, it is still $30.00 at Best Buy and only $15.00 on Steam...I have never downloaded an actual game besides on steam...What if I accidently Delete it? did I just lose $15.00? lol.
Also, I thought Steam had the most recent Patches?...always auto patches my games unless I tell it otherwise, Is that just a problem with the MOW patching system? or something of the sort?
EDIT: can I not buy it off of steam? then turn off the auto patching? than patch it myself off a different website?
