Guild Wars 2

I understand that this will be available in both digital and boxed versions. I have a question: if I get the box, I will install from disk but then will I have a huge download on top of that?

I’m thinking digital may be the best way to go…

You will still have to download things, yeah, because of bug fixes. Physical copies are more for people that like that kinda thing.

Ok so it all depends on when the disks are made and if there are any bug fixes between the date of disk making and release. This is very very likely however. To mass produce the disks they usually need to provide a working copy of the software months ahead of release (disks need to be made, packaged, and shipped) but undoubtedly in that period of month the studio will still be working on the game, fixing bugs, polishing stuff etc.
But the assumption is that you’d have to download less if say you purchased a disk as apposed to going purely digital.
