Hmm. I was thinking more that a commercial organisation is going to want
to be able to send it back if it doesn't work etc.

But having said that, the sensible thing to do would be to buy the media
but in the meantime download a disk image of the game from the web -
that way it doesn't matter if the media's broken and there's no faffing
with making disk images either. 

So yes, scratch that question :-)
