US Purchase Options? Steam only?

Will the retail version of the game available in the US? I see the game is available for pre-order on Steam but I'd prefer to get the retail/DVD version if possible, and I don't see it available for pre-order on any retail websites.

Anybody know anything about this?

in for answer as well

It's Steam only afaik. Unless you can buy from amazon.com if you don't want to import a copy from Europe and wait you will have to use Steam.

I looked on Amazon last week. Wasn't listed there.

So pretty much either import or Steam it looks like.

I havent seen a site selling it in the US at all. I would like to purchase it here in the US as well but I doubt it will happen. I have always ordered mine from Europe. I tried to buy it from Amazon.uk but they wouldnt ship to me for some reason. I have ordered the last 3 or 4 this way, wish the US would get it but Im not expecting it to happen

I've always purchased thru Steam here in the States. I'm a Brit who moved to the US a few years ago and I do miss the boxed versions, but Steam is fine with me.

I was able to get the retail DVD version of FM2011 on Amazon.com but FM2012 is only listed on the UK version of the site. I don't know how 2010 was handled, was the 2011 US retail release a 1-time only thing?

fm2012 is steam only, that means the retail copy require steam too, unless the retail one cheaper or give you some bonus I dont see reasons to buy retail these time.
