UK Retailers are not interested is the bottom line
this has ramifications obviously for the future of PC gaming in UK as it makes it even more niche unless its only Codemasters games retailors are not interested in (after the amazon.co.uk exclusive F1 2010 fiasco!!)

I think its more to do with they know digital is way more profit so cannot be bothered with PC DVD-Rom anymore in UK
If they could do a retail copy for Operation Flashpoint Red River which will not sell anywhere near as many copies as Dirt3 on PC then why no Dirt3 
Believe it or not there are a lot of PC gamers who do not have unlimited bandwidth & or have poor broadband speeds so this is a bad move...........
So there you have it try to find it digitally for a decent price (if you can!).

,the argument that it patches itself and can't lose it dosn't wash
