Assassin’s Creed is the first title to be made available for pre-purchase, and will be able to be downloaded from April 9th.
Tom Clancy titles, the IL-2 Sturmovik series, Far Cry and games from the Heroes of Might & Magic franchise will also be made available in the next few weeks.

awesome
This idea is full of win. Steam is such a great platform.
If only such a thing was avaible for the consoles.....
Re: awesome - really?!
I believe their is a good reason you do not see such a service on consoles.
If you cut retail out of the sales of games, what incentive given the meagre margin on hardware - would their be to sell said hardware.
As such with no hardware being sold, who would download the games!
