I didn't realize the Godzilla games were ever decent enough to have taken a hit quality wise...
You can already download Warhawk, Gran Turismo Prologue, and Burnout Paradise off of PSN. Those are full, retail games.
With in 5 years, 90% of what atari release will be in the downloadable area.
Not yet, no. But that GameStop guy is saying 12-17 years before it's viable? Come on. Some of these XBLA and PSN games are selling thousands of copies. I think Bionic Commando has already sold 140K or something, and that's money that's going straight to the console maker and publisher.
Insanolord is a terrible moderator.
If you're allowed to just download another copy if your hard drive dies, what's the difference? I wouldn't mind having less game cases/discs lying around my house. Once you get a big collection that stuff starts to take up a lot of space, and when you move it's a pain in the butt to bring your whole game catalog with you. On top of that, game discs can get scratched.
I don't buy that argument. People don't seem to have a problem with waiting days for pirated games to download off of BitTorrent. Those are free games, but with a dedicated server you could serve people games in a few hours.
Back on the subject, small games distributed online is a great idea for small independent developers, but I do NOT want to see FULL RETAIL GAMES...Why anyone would want to pay the same price for a game when you don't have a hard copy is beyond me...
