The S.T.A.L.K.E.R series; Steam VS Retail

After a long time thinking of I should get these games or not, I’ve decided to go to Amazon and get them, and now my brain is saying I made a horrible mistake.

Let me explain why…
Retail;
Get it in 1 week, but no need to download
Get a box and a CD. That CD could become damaged/lost and then your fucked
Not restricted to the latest patch. I’ve hear mods work better?
Save a TINY bit more than what it will cost with Steam

Steam;
Get it NOW, just have to download. No need to suffer waiting(except the download)
No box or CD’s that can get damaged/lost
Restricted to the latest patch. But I hear that mods work for the Steam version too.
Cost is a bit more than I’m paying for Retail

I’ve asked the sellers to delay the shipping of both games ’till the 16th to give myself some more time to think of an idea.
And I finally got one! 😀 I’ve decided to go on and get the first game from Steam, and told the shippers to go on and continue the orders. Then when the retail versions come, I will be able to compare without uncertainty.
That way, I can go on and play the first game now. See if I like it. If not, I can just sell the copies at eBay or a flea market or something.
