Unless you're a collector purchasing a retail box just seems so unnecessary. Here are some reasons on why you should start purchasing CD Keys for video games online:

You pay full retail price.

If it includes a CD you still need to download a large part of the game.

No use for the box or CD after it's been added to your steam account.

If the box is missing the CD Key or it is used you'll never get to play the game.

All of this just so you can use a small piece of paper with a code on it so you can download the game. I feel like these boxes will be getting smaller over time only to contain the product code.
