    Hey all,

    Has anybody purchased games from this site? I was thinking of getting COD4. What happens if you format your drive and want to install the game again? Do you have to buy it again?

    If you're noting going to go for a physical copy, then why not get it on Steam?

    They seem to be more expensive on steam.

    Steams charging a good $20 more for no discernible reason. D2D does allow you to redownload games for reinstallation.
