Er... have they not heard of Steam? It's not a long way off, at all beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 06/11/2009 05:24:18 PM
I'd say most of my PC games are either bought on Steam, or downloaded through nefarious means. And there are definitely full games you can download on PSN or Xbox live. And Nintendo has the virtual console.

Really, I'd think it's just a bandwidth issue. A Blu-Ray game is a monstrous amount of data- and people do enjoy having instant gratification.

As bandwidth and storage space on hard drives improve, buying games wholly online will become even more common.

And if that puts Gamestop out of business... well, screw'em. Try to make me preorder every game I want to buy...
I amuse myself.

They said "replaces." - 06/11/2009 06:13:54 PM 583 Views
And that is the key to the discussion. - 06/11/2009 07:32:18 PM 528 Views
The technical feasibility issue is a big one, too. - 06/11/2009 08:00:21 PM 561 Views
Well to be fair, Nintendo didn't really offer another viewpoint. - 06/11/2009 07:44:05 PM 549 Views
Poor choice of word on my part - 06/11/2009 08:07:06 PM 686 Views

Why would pirating give you a hard copy? - 08/11/2009 01:02:36 AM 534 Views
It does not. - 08/11/2009 09:02:17 AM 553 Views
But with digital copies it is possible... - 09/11/2009 02:18:01 AM 591 Views
