boxed games come with product keys and discs. You ignore the disc, just tell Steam the product key.

The same often happens there (Amazon is cheaper than Steam). Except that Steam games *can* convert.

A boxed copy of Borderlands 2 for X360 costs $10 LESS than the download from Live. That's why I want to *buy* disc but *use* download.
