Amazon has the best selection of casual games that I have seen in terms of retail and not download. Ana

For less then the price of a retail casual game you can buy the download at BigFish and check the box that says you want the CD also. YOu can't get the CD on any large file but most of the casuals are not that large. Ana

Jeepers, what I do is start the download before I go to bed and by morning it's finished. Haven't tried it with the large file games. Also with the Big Fish manager you can pause the game (but don't close the manager) and you can go back and continue the d/l when you're ready.

It should work out since I understand they can put more than one game on a cd. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I really don't understand Jeepers. I have been buying my games at amazon.com for a long time and always in the box and/or jewel case. I have seen a download option but I am still able to purchase boxed games ![duh duh](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/duh.gif) Which game are you looking at/for? **edit: I just looked at Plants vs. Zombies, Nancy Drew and Zuma's Revenge and all are boxed games available with free shipping. Are you looking in the wrong section perhaps?

These were not large file games, right? You made sure they were not just random demo CD's they do if the games you want are too large. Ana

Wow - I didnt realise they only charged one lot of shipping for several games. Then this might be a good way for me also to buy BFG games as I am like Jeepers - I am supposed to be on Broadband but its as slow as dial-up and the connection keeps getting reset, so I am unable to download any games at all As they say here........Welcome to Africa!!
I also managed to buy quite a few of the casual games in jewel cases from Amazon. When these games are installed from the CD, do they end up in the BFG Games Manager, do you know?
