Why not DIRECT TO DRIVE?

[Weasel]

I have been wanting to purchase both winSPWW2 and winMBT for some time now, but the shipping costs and duty have prevented me from doing so. After these are factored in I would be looking at over $50 for each of these games, and then currency conversion on top (isn't it funny how free trade only works for big companies, not the little guy?).

With many of the big name game producers now going to DIRECT TO DRIVE downloads (where you pay for the game and DL to your drive and burn it yourself) I was wondering if it is possible for these games to go that way?

It would, or should, also reduce the price a bit since the company is not having to pay for packaging.

Any ideas if this is possible?
