angstrom: If I get BF3 should I get a physical copy or a digital copy? I'm certain the physical copy requires one to log into Origin anyways before it can be used, so is there any advantage to it?

Also maps like Wake Island and Karkland aren't included in the standard BF3, they require the DLC, am I correct?
Karkland is definitely DLC. Wake Island was DLC, might have even been launch DLC, not sure. If it was launch DLC some versions of BF3 may have received it for free.

Could be both at the same time! Goddamn achievements are addictive.

In any case, ckloudsaving is pretty neat. Then again I am one of those of the opinion that steam's benefits outweigh the drawbacks of its drm, so eh, whatever.
For anyone who saw my last post about indiefacekick thing:

They emailed me back, and explained that they will be sending keys to the email of the paypal account. It seems they don't yet have a mechanism to send people confirmation emails, or that the paypal receipt should suffice.

They were polite and nice, and while the setup could have been better, I do believe I'll be getting my keys and that all will be fine.
I wonder if there is any benefits to getting a material copy of BF3 over a digital copy. I know in the end both requires Origin, but I wonder if the disc can still be used after 1 installation.

I'll just get a DRM free version when the game ends up on an indie bundle in a few years. For now, this works.

What I didn't like, however, was buying the game, checking the achievements, and noticing that quite a few people had already "achieved" everything. Friggin' Steam Achievement Manager users... why doesn't Steam just ban them?

Is the game any good? I mean after playing it for a bit. I really like the music. Is it worth 2.69USD?

Honestly? Yeah. If you've played Arkanoid then you know the basics. The boss fights are pretty good, and the powerups are actually useful, BUT, there are stages where you don't get any magic refills. It's still very entertaining.
Cool. Thanks.
Does Steam version of Wizorb come with sound that doesn't require fiddling with DX acceleration?
