you said it comes with DVD and Steam Code, so why do i have to purchase the Steam Code online first?
Your question was asking whether you can just get a digital copy instead or not right?Hardware 2012 NEW MacBook Pro | MacBook Air Users Thread, Version 9.0 - 95%/92% score on Gdgt.com!

QUOTE(BRY7 @ Aug 29 2012, 12:26 AM) Yes included.Added on August 29, 2012, 12:38 amI feel pretty pointless buying it though, because after install, it still needs you to download another update with size 3.6GB, almost equivalent to the installer itself. I recommend you just buy the code from Steam website, and download it from your Steam account. Save yourself the hassle from going shopping mall.

Better go back to that shop asap and ask for replacement.
Tell them you being miss lead and assume that is the latest model, if they told you no difference in usage, just tell them you buying in behalf of someone, need to change. |

Not to pour any cold water on USB SuperDrives owners, but I don't understand why people spend so much for a disk drive? I got this for only half the price of Apple SuperDrive 3 years back for my mba 13", and yet it still works wonderfully on my rmbp now lol

If you mention 3 years back, price between Apple SuperDrive and other brand of external drive, the pricing difference not much so might as well got the Apple drive.
I am sure people that can afford to buy Apple products dont mind spending a bit more to get a nice looking drive. |

Does anyone know if it's possible to run a virtualized windows vista image backup in ML? If so, can the image be stored and run on an external drive?
