    ...Did you put the DVD in before you entered the key? It would have (or should have) installed from the disc had you done that. All steamworks games I've bought from retail have worked that way.

    Why do people still not understand they would probably get more help, and people being nice to them if they didn't act so hostile?

    @CL60: Just venting, its not directed at anyone....

    @xobballox: I didnt even know it was linked to steam or I wouldnt have wasted my time at EB. Put the DVD in, launcher comes up, asks for key, then it starts dloading the whole game. Tried twice......

    @John1912:

    Weird then. It always just went from steam activating the code to installing from the DVD for me.

    Don't worry though it tricks you. Just got done installing from the disk only to have it be 88 percent done and downloading at 250KB/s. Forty more minutes to go.....

    You've been so inconvenienced with having to install something a little differently than normal. You have a right to be putting down the mentally handicapped.

    That's unfortunate that they didn't make it install from the disc automatically instead of having to jump through hoops. Rage's disc install worked automatically, by contrast (thank God for that, at ~21 gigs).
