No one cares about us anymore (the collector). As collectors, like I, become old and die out, new formats will take over. I hear all the time, people coming into my work and saying how they prefer tape over dvd because it holds data much longer .... even despite the fact of the quality degrading over the course of its use, these people still rely on tape. And they are all over 50!

Look at how fast the Ipod/mp3 made cd's obsolete. All bias aside, there is NOTHING holding back an all digital future. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next xbox/ps console the downloads will be the focus, and the disc drive will be there (or as an add-on) for backwards compatibility. Once the NEXT next gen console come out? All the B.C. will be downloadable.

Those in areas without internet, you will take some sort of proprietary memory card into a gamestop, purchase and then download it to your card, take it home and pop it in your PS 5/Xbox 1080... and there you have it.

Digital-only is meant for xbl an ps store, now like many people how can i trade or sale a digital only game. besides that lets say if mainly u can only play while ur online only. imagine if it was like that an that console servers went down an or ur net how would u play.

when the ps3 went down if it wasnt for netflix an my collections of games my ps3 would have been worthless..not saying gaming is my life. on average people play all kinds of games to relax from a hard day or ahard day from work to relive stress etc etc. the list 2 long 2 keep goin.

with that said digital only games should only be a option threw a iphone an consoles nothing more nothing less.

People nowadays buy digital music, digital tv, digital games (steam, xbl, psn).

Everything in the future is going to be digital-only, regardless if you/I hate it.

As long as it sells it's what matters to them.

yea i do understand that but digital only holds no value for us companies yea. with that said a virus is the 1# thing that can erase everything or a corrupt file. an like my man said 2011-08-03 03:49 how are we paying the same price as a hard copy SMH. hard copy games we pay 4 its logo's the manual advertisements on the disc an in the game an the disc itself. we are sheep we'll follow anything an accept why.

off the subject people are trying 2 get socom 2 hd on the ps3 its over 10,000 people voting 4it ok an thats important lol but its not life why dont people use the same energy for real life things laws thats hurting us, companies uses us milk'n us etc. people are making small matters bigger an big issues. small jus say'n all of this can be stopped if we stand up together if not we dont matter we'll stay as sheep

hell look what EA keep starting online pass now its this new thing play the game 3days b4 it come out whats it called Season Ticket program

True I like hearing songs on youtube but it is nothing compared to my shelf full of albums. Same with games although i have games downloaded on the ps3 i always forget to count them with the ones i bought. And the thing which really keeps me away from them is the fact that it takes hours to download and install a game and once the hard disc it full you either have to delete some games or buy a new console or a new hard disc
