"How about "You should buy CD's rather than downloading, because downloading might give you a virus?""The problem is that by buying and using the CD as intended by Sony will open up your computer to a different sort of virus intrusion that AV software may NOT be able to detect or clean (as the files are hidden from the Windows file system APIs). You can only "see" those files from a command prompt. This is similar to the "super-hidden" attribute used by some strains of CodeRed and some others.
