i have both x2/x3 in retail boxes (neither ran on my machines at all) but 
yeah theyre available on steam. you cant use the retail editions with steam 
though, only d2d or steam purchased eds will merge and update with steam.

i hope i can still get retail updates manually

gamecopyworld has full information on what the retail eds use for protection 
(i must have storaged my copies, cant see them)
