EA launches content delivery via broadband (Is it real?)

[TAW_Crow]

Well, it looks like EA is following in the steps of Valve and alllowing you to download Special Forces via there new content site. My question, is the site for real & is it safe? Has anyone baught it via this way yet? I LOVE Steam so if this is the real deal its an awesome way for EA to deliver content. If this is safe & real I will purchase & download right away.

It is linked directly from EA's BF2 main page so how much safer can it be?

Look at lin #5 in the download info box. You can play it when it is released.

It sounds good, BUT, it will take a awhile for it to download. 2-5 hours. I'll just buy mine from the store.

punisher:

if it's anything like Steam, your account info and content are stored server-side, not client-side. So if your computer gets all short bus on you, you know your content is safe.

I love Steam! I hope this is not bloatware though....Last thing I want is EA pop-up while surfing.
