Exactly, usually it only installs the most important files and leaves stuff like video, certain audio ( music etc. ) and other contents on the disc - With the digital version, it all is being installed to the HDD.

I though nobody does that anymore and everything is installed by default including all the videos and other materials, but i suppose it makes sense

I can't think of any PC games in the past 6-7 years that keep some content on the disk after installing...?

Yikes, a 260 as the recommended video card? We'll see how well my 9800 can perform here. I've got a Quadcore and 8 GB of RAM, so everything else should be okay.

Speaking of RAM, does that 2 GB recommendation seem a little low to anyone else? I expected to see that for the requirements, but not the recommend specs.

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.
