Just got a new hard copy of "need for speed hot pursuit" for PC in the post.
can i download the game via Steam and enter my code i got with my copy?

It's asking for me to add the game to the basket on steam.
I was expecting just a download button lol ?

Does it appear on this list?

If so - just go to "Add Non-Steam Game" from the menu.

it's not on the list.

do i install from the DVd then later on "add none steam game"
then i wont need the disc in future to download ?

Games which cannot be registered through Steam may still be added to your game list for easy access

Does this mean after i have installed the game via DVD i can later on add the game as none steam BUT use steam to launched the game without the DVD in ?

ok cheers guys, i have one last stupid question lol

Im just going to install from disc.
but there are 5 patches to download for it.

can i just install the patch 5 or do i have to install the previous 4 patches first?

i did look on Ea site but it didnt say either way.
