July 15, 20205 yr The internet is realy bad where I live so I went for the box. It's unclear if you can access the DL version with the same key, some say you do because it's basicaly the same thing and you still have to link to your MS account and xbox account ;). So it's not something like either Box or Steam.... Gerald K. - Germany AMD 7800x3D / ASUS ROG X670E-Gaming / ASUS Strix RTX 3090 OC / 64 Gb RAM GSKILL. "Flightstick" = X56 HOTAS RGB Logitech

So it's not something like either Box or Steam.... What download version? There is only one version of the game (be it three different packages of the same game). One is on disc which you will install and will require updates and one you will download and will require updates. You will still need the Internet if you want the best out of the game. Both the disc and download have offline versions so you aren't streaming the data.

Yes but the BOXed one has 10double layered DVD's in it making me think that if you don't buy the Box, you will have to download al those GB to fly offline ;). This will take me 1 week of DL...

July 16, 20205 yr I'm curious why they put it on DVDs rather than a single USB memory stick. I'm guessing the DVDs are faster, but somewhat less convenient. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Hook I suppose that there is a risk of the memory stick to be corrupted during the mailing by magnetic interferences.
