I think it will be boxed , but not until its gone gold ect. Right now Steam allows them to do preorders and trickle out parts that are completed, hence CS:$. Just give it time.  Steam is really a great concept. Think about the patching, no need to do one large patch once in a blue moon, instead they can fire out the smallest update over steam and everyone gets it instantly and everyones on the same page with Steam.

I'm waiting for SHIII as well,

With its release date pushed back, I might just be able to snag a super system to run it.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

One of the best thing about sub sims, it dosn't take a super system to run it. Just something balanced and built around a 1.8ghz cpu or greater.

Not unti Hl2 the game has gone gold and is offically released. They are doing "preorders" only. CS:$ is the catch to get you to preorder it through STEAM.
