Would you believe that the release date involved three cats, some Jell-O, and some tightrope walkers from a small island five nautical miles south-southwest of Fiji?

This may have been discussed before, but what version of SiN are you guys getting? I bought it when it came out years ago and it came with a very cool manual with some awesome artwork in it, and a cool-looking disc. I'd like to get it on Steam so I can play SiN 1 RIGHT NOW, but I have a 10 dollar gift card to Best Buy, so I'd only have to pay about 9 or 10 bucks for the game if I bought it retail, what do you think?

Holy fuck...Sin episodes...oddly enough; they're coming out the week I'll be at a location where I'll have access to broadband (hotel) instead of the dial up I'm stuck at here at home...seeing that really makes my day!
