Well, where I'm at in Dubai, UAE, broadband is fairly spread out in the region. Also, broadband subscription's have already overtaken dial-up subscription's this year.

Btw, I'm on a 384kbps DSL line which costs $67 (unlimited dl/ul) a month. So, even *if* the download were to fail, it wouldn't cost me anything other than time.

The cost of a CD is negligible and a printed manual is something I'm willing to forego, rather than blowing almost the cost of the game itself on shipping, to get a manual.

Sure, not everyone is going to get buy as a download, but it'd sure help those not in a position to order CDs, like myself. Besides, if I were to order online, I'd have the game in a few hours for its original price (or less?), rather than waiting a few weeks for something that I would've spent almost twice as much to get.
