Get rid of dusty game boxes?

(tags game, Windows, Starcraft)

Since I am feeling like I will never play GTA Vice City ever again (wait, play the taxi game, then let go), I feel the need to get rid of the box it came in. Darn you Steam and your region tendancies. Then again, I have all the GTAs for the PC, in nice small DVD like sized boxes. Nice set.

Blizzard recently started its own digital download service (thanks Kotaku). I wish they started it earlier. It's not easy to obtain Starcraft in Japan. In the end I had to buy it during my trip in the States. Anyways, the online store's first release includes Warcraft III and StarCraft. I would buy Warcraft II if they had it. That was the only game on my old Mac laptop that fondly recall playing.

Anyways, they also allow registering your CD based serial key, and from then on you won't need to use your discs anymore. I have two keys since I got the game for USD 10 each. I'll try registering one to see if it's Steam-like.
