I'm quite interested in this package but I found myself questioning their method of distribution.

Why would I want a piece of plastic to be shipped halfway around the world and back again (DVD-plant -> Morty Lefkoe, USA -> Me, Sweden) when they could offer it as a download instead? I still need to use it in my computer so the DVD doesn't add any value for anyone (more costly for all parts). That is a lot of harm to the environment transport something that was digital from the beginning.

Additionally I need to pay $13.57 in Shipping, I need to rip the DVD:s (my netbook doesn't have a DVD-player) and there is always the unwelcome chance of having to pay customs as well (usually delaying the delivery additionally).

This may not seem like a big deal but I can't see any plus side with buying a DVD. In the end I'll resign buy the DVD as it is right now.

I realize I'm ranting here, I'm just wondering if I'm alone here. I posted a support ticket, I'll repost their answer if anyone is interested.
