Amazon/Origin game download

[ocgirl]

Hello fellow mac users,

I was wondering if any of you tried using the download option from Amazon or Origin (EA) when purchasing a game ?

They are selling for more than half the price, but I am worried it will be complicated to install it (as compared to inserting a CD and just clicking "next" ).

Any feedback?

Thanks !

Well I've not downloaded from Amazon or Origin but I have downloaded from other online digital services like Steam and Battle.net and I've never had any issues. It's pretty straight forward and to an extent easier then installing from a DVD. The instructions are easy and usually you're guided through the install process. Installing games or any software on a Mac is pretty easy anyway.

Not complicated at all. If anything, it's easier because you can't lose the CD or the manual with the product key on it.

Both are easy as cake.

I just downloaded a large PC game and the only questionable issue is the time involved in downloading 20+ GBs. My internet connection is pretty fast and it took me about 11 hours. Installing it as simple as launching the installer/launcher and deciding where you want it to install.
