At a guess, since the PC version appears to be self published by Remedy (at least the Steam version is), then it's entirely possible that the proceeds from the DD version will help fund the production of physical copies of the game.
So I'm guessing that the faster it sells on Steam, the faster we'll eventually see a physical retail release.

I'm at chapter 4 now, really like the game. Kinda gives me a Max Payne feeling. However, I think some of the battles are very cheap. Alan is about as fast as 90 year old. Running is slow and you are tired very fast, changing weapons takes so long that there is more than enough time to actually think about it, think some more, than wonder if something is going to happen, and than finally you changed your weapon just to get cut down by 3 enemies all dealing double damage and now way to do anything about it because you get hit from 3 sides and doding really only works with enemies coming from one side. It's just stupid that some parts of the game require you to run around in the dark with no weapons with more than 5 enemies. You really can't do anything. The only thing you can do is die a couple of times to figure out if there are any items you might want and what is the shortest route to take. Once you know, just rush there because you can't do anything else. Very cheap and it pisses me off. Especially around chapter 4 it's starting to get ridiculous that you have to die 5 times just to pass a area because of cheap level design.
It really hurts the game because the story is great, controls are good (apart from everything being dead slow), game looks great and all but the some enemy encouters just piss me off.

Isn't the guy some kind of an author or something? Maybe that is the reason they made him deliberately slow in the game. I wouldn't expect an author to rock out and M16 and mow down some baddied

Free camera was added today! It's a pretty big world they have built
There's some graphical corruptions occuring from what I've tested though

What is American Nightmare, a separate game, an expansion to the first title? And is it worth buying? I enjoyed the first one, but if this other title is very combat-centric with the same gameplay mechanics I doubt it would hold my interest.
It's a stand-alone title for $15. Haven't played it myself, but it does seem more focused on combat (more variety at least), so it might not be up your alley. There's even a mode that's a bit of a throwback to Max Payne 2's Dead Man Walking (survival against waves of enemies).
There should be reviews of the XBLA release around. Don't know what sites you trust though. I still heard good things about it, so... *shrug*
