new to steam

Getting back into PC gaming in a week or so. (new pc).

I want to buy Deus Ex.

Steam want £30.
i can get it delivered for £25.

If i buy the shop game for £25 and i install steam can i run the game through the steam client so i dont require the disc everytime i play?
Will the game auto update with patches via the steam client?

cheers.

So despite it being £5 more expensive are some people on here going to buy it via steam and if so why ?

Just TF2 items, and perhaps convenience.

I've saved £16 quid on my augmented edition over the Steam price, + I'm getting the bonus DVD etc.

If you're completely new to Steam, I'd stick your nose in the FAQ in my sig, it covers things like how to set up the account security and how to get the most out of some of the features.

thanks for that i shall have a nose when i get home today
