1946 was the last sim I purchased in-store.
Download from distributor- or better they give you a torrent link, heaps faster- and burn exe to disk for backup. Save money, save waiting. It's not like you're missing out on a fancy manual these days.
Having said that, I still remember walking out of the store with the big boxes of Il-2 and Forgotten Battles, packaged together for some reason, and how carefully I opened them up.
And it's a bit sad going into a games store now and noting that the PC section is two shelves wide, everything else is console.
Once PC games started to require online activation, you may as well download the whole thing.
