Assuming, that is, you buy it at all. Note, by boxed copy, I mean one that you purchase from any source--so you could buy it online, and have it mailed to you. As a download, again, I mean just that: files you download to your computer.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
Boxed copy, no doubt about it... won't get it 'till Friday at the soonest though as I live in Europe 
There's just something about holding an actual physical box, and the knowledge that it contains a game.
Also, if your hard drive fails or something, the game is gone unless you have a boxed copy. I guess you could re-download, but it's a lot easier to immediately re-install.

Boxed. I prefer boxed seeing as it provides me most freedom with the product.
I have not looked much into downloaded purchases yet, but I need to be sure I'll not be restricted in usage of my copy if I buy it that way - so currently it is not worth the hassle compared to just ordering from a webshop. (I buy allmost all games online)
Hopefully - I'll get my copy friday if the webshop holds true to its promise

Boxed. I have it on order with Amazon, so I should get it fairly quickly, I think. They will have ordered enough to cover their pre-orders, at least.
I would never download a game. As other people have said, if the computer goes bust, so does your game.
Plus: I LIKE having the box, and, hopefully, a paper Manual and Map as well. I really HATE the Manual/Map being on disc.

Boxed easily, downloads are by far way easier to corrupt than an actual CD IMO (at least with how my luck kept going)

Boxed. Much safer that way... and it comes with that "new game smell" which I simply love.
It should be in my hands tomorrow at noon.
Lady Dragonfly, according to Game Stop, where I pre-ordered the game, it should only arrive then.
You're checking a bit too early.

Boxed. I have purchased a few games from direct2drive.com but those have been inexpensive shooter type games.
I would prefer to have the manual for this game and the DVD for easy re-installation.
