Wouldn't you be able to play WITHOUT the DVD by using the EA Downloader ? I mean get the Retail DVD but use the EA downloader and download the game? I was thinking about doing this, can someone confirm if this gonna work before i buy the retail DVD.

It doesn't work like that. You have to first purchase a game through EA's website, and then that purchase is tied to your EA account. Then you use the EA Downloader, log into your account, and the downloader sees what purchases you have made.

Just downloading the EA downloader itself doesn't give you access to any retail content.

Ok, let me rephrase it. What about if you know someone that purchased the online version and then he backups those files? You then just copy and use YOUR own account that you've created with your dvd purchase? Is that possible?

Isn't this similar to CS:S?

Sounds like it might work that way.
