I'd much rather have a nice DVD case sitting on my shelf.

Well youd have to have it in Steam to play it multiplayer anyway like CZ, so the way I see it, preload it now, goto the shop when it comes out and buy it (if you can get your hands on it - doubt it) get the game for the key, enter it into Steam and youve got your game already.
