Well it is a bit cheaper for both parties since the download doesn't come with the paper manual, the cardboard box , the actual cd + the sleeve etc.

Because bandwidth and server maintenance are free?
Not to mention costs for developing and maintaining distribution software :O


Now I agree that I'd like it if eventually every game could be purchased and downloaded directly from the internet (with *.pdf manual and an option for paying extra for a tangible copy with printed manual), we have to realize that that eventual future is not here yet.
