Thanks for that advice. I actually found Fallout 4 on Amazon for $19.99, and Skyrim Legendary Edition for $17.99, both new copies. Couldn't believe how much cheaper they were, 2 games for less than the retail price of 1.

Oh okay, thank you both. Admittedly, the whole Steam thing has been a bit confusing for me.

Hello everyone, somewhat new here. I'm former PC gamer who went to console gaming years ago, and I've recently decided to ditch my consoles and come back to PC gaming - at least for Beth titles and MMOs. My new PC should arrive sometime tomorrow and I'll be getting Fallout 4 and Skyrim. My question is.. Should I be getting them on Steam, or are the physical copies better to have? I've read that for Fallout 4 you have to download some files from Steam anyway since the physical copies of the game do not contain all of the files that you need - and that there were some mods that actually require you to have the Steam version of the game as well. Could anyone tell me if they like using Steam better or prefer the hard copies, and why?
