Saw that bestbuy now allows you to purchase online and download directly for pc games. Figured "what the hell, let me see how it works!" Instead of just linking you into steam or anything like this I found that it runs through an unnamed 3rd party, you still pay full price and abide by the rules stated below. I love the fact that you can download it, and then
PAY ADDITIONAL to maintain it in your bestbuy records for
2 years if you want to download again (corrupted, new comp, etc.). After that you're screwed. Wow. Think I'll stake a BB employee.

What is the Extended Download Service (EDS)?
EDS essentially allows you to download your purchase again for up to two (2) years, in the event your computer crashes or the downloaded file becomes damaged or corrupt. It can be thought of as an insurance policy in case anything goes wrong with your computer or the downloaded product. When you have downloadable items in your order, you will see a link to add EDS to your order on the shopping cart page or the checkout page. Upon payment of the specified fee, Digital River, Inc. ("DR") agrees to provide you (the "End User") a service that enables the End User to make multiple downloads of digital computer software products (a "Product" or "Products") purchased in a single order (an "Order") and downloaded from this Web site (the "Site") for a period of two (2) years after the date the End User purchases the Product (the "Service"). Click here for full details about EDS.
To purchase EDS for download products in a completed order, you must look up your order and complete an additional purchase.
