Download vs Boxed version

Hi,

Ready to buy both BBCBA and FoG, but am unfamiliar with the limitations, if any, with the download vs the boxed hard copy. You may well have answered this previously but I didn't see it.

If I have the CD, I'm assuming it serves as my backup copy in case my hard disk crashes, or i want to move the game to a different computer of mine (may be getting new laptop for Christmas).

If I have the download:
1. How do you handle failed downloads? If it repeatedly fails to successfully download, can it be converted to a HC version for the difference in cost?
2. Can the download be backed up to a thumb drive or DVD and subsequently used as described above for the hardcopy disk?

I'd love to get the better price but want to make sure I'm not limiting my options by doing so.

Thanks in advance!

JJ

Yes the CD from the boxed version is like you backup disk.

Downloads have a limited number of attempts but its pretty high. If you have any issues we'll reset it, it's just their to avoid exploitation and piracy.

You can backup the download to DVD/CD no problems.
