The PC version of GTA IV will be sold in stores and through digital distribution via Steam. The release date for both versions is currently December 2 in North America and December 3 in Europe. The PC version will support XBOX Live compatible achievements. In a attempt to fight piracy, all versions will require an internet connection during first installation.

It’s only 3 euro cheaper as the boxed version (with sending costs) here in the Netherlands.
I rather have a nice box around it. 🙂
I also like having a tangible product, especially GTA since I’m a collector and I like to have the box, maps and manual.
