This would be nice if you also got a physical copy. Otherwise, you're getting a game that you can only re-download for 6 months unless you pony up 6$ more. Now, I don't trust EA the tiniest bit, so Id like to have a physical copy.
Looks like Ill have to wait a bit after it comes out.. |

Not necessarily. Set it to download overnight and you're fine. Its the fact that you dont get a hard copy in case something happens is what the bad part is.

At 250kb/sec, regular cable, it's not too long to download ~ 1/2 day. With the securom issue on this game, I'm not sure it really matters if you buy the physical copy or not. Either way you get screwed.
Edit: I'm gonna go with physical disk, cuz the paranoid in me imagines EA will 'update' the game, 'accidentally' erasing my digital copy right after the 'free' 6 months download limit kicks in. At least you'll be able to play an un-patched original version forever on the physical installation if you never reinstall.
