Call me old fashioned but I'm still clinging onto hard copies. But with each gen I realize that downloading games isn't so bad, can help with load times, convenient, etc. The question I have is regarding the PS3 specifically...
Let's say I buy enough games off PSN (mixture of PS classics and full PS3 titles) to fill up the hardrive. I need to know if I have the ability to take it and put it in storage for years, rinse and repeat. So in the few years or so I may have several harddrives with different games on it in which I can back up for myself either mirroring the drive or just storing multiple drives. I mean isn't it the same thing as having hard copies on your shelf?
I just can't see myself moving away from physical copies unless I have a way to store my games for later use. Not just that, but I need to know if those games will be playable years from now when the servers go down or developers shut down the game. I know you can't redownload games (like Double Dragon) but if it's already on my hd then it shouldn't matter correct? I don't mind having multiple harddrives with the discounts from PS plus. I just need to know if "you don't own your games" applies to my intention.
