It just comes down to convenience vs price for me. I don't care about the exclusive content or limited editions. Retail is usually cheaper than steam, unless it's a sale, I know that. I mean I live in germany, we're being abused twice on Steam (higher prices than retail AND a horrible currency conversion). I basically only buy stuff when it's on sale or through UK store, everything else is just a rip off, but I also play multiple games at the same period of time and I don't want to have to swap discs constantly.
The last game I bought in retail for me was FarCry 2 or the Lich King expansion for WoW, whichever came out last.

It says no exclusivity on PC at all. This is just some console shenanigans again.

I don't think so...
from bf-blog:
BFBC2 PC Beta on Steam
The Beta will appear in your "My Games" tab in your Steam client to all Steam pre-orders for day one access to the Beta.

Amazon just send me some infos. It looks like you can download the beta from steam even if you havent preordered there. That would be awesome, highspeed.
