If the game is registered in steam you don't need the retail discs or serial's, once it's in your account it can be downloaded and installed strait from steam.baggs wrote:

I went out and purchased the DVD version of TF2 specifically because I didn't want to download it because my net was too shit to download the 4.5GB file, the CD just installed Steam which proceeded to download all 5GB. :facepalm:jaymz9350 wrote:

I didn't know that, that's pretty dumb. I got HL1 and orange box retail and HL1 actually had installer disks, not sure about orange box as I just entered the key and let it install all the games while I did something else (bought it retail because all I had at the moment was cash)TheDonkey wrote:

That's the thing, the actual disk had 4.5GB of stuff on it, but Steam never bothered actually trying to install off the disk.jaymz9350 wrote:

This was many many months ago, I don't have such major net issues now, and TF2's already installed on my PC. But I was helllla pissed at the time.Harmor wrote:
