@MarluxiaVI Yup, I definitely do too. KoAR is one of the few good RPGs on the PC in recent times.

Why do I sense the repeat of Dragon Age 2? :X Good, solid first game, goes into the hand of EA and an abomination of a sequel is the result.

Kill me, kill me now. The GoW franchise has amazing potentials for movie adaptations and hollywood went and shit all over it. Might as well just make this a direct to dvd and call it a day. Hell, make a flash animation film with stick figures and call it a day.

@thunderboltx7 Actually, HDD capacity doesnt affect the physical dimension

@primeheart1 Or if your PC can run it, try an emulator. I play FF12 in full HD with the quality of FF13. Not bragging, just saying what an emulator can do :)

@BestJinjo Im not sure how Apple's model is relevant here. I mean, they're selling hardwares (ipad, iphones, imac...etc) with digital apps. There is no overlapping there, they cant sell their hardwares digitally nor can they sell their apps in physical copies (they can, it's just not rational or profitable). It's apple vs orange if you compare it to digital gaming (no pun intended).

But yeah, overall, I guess there is only 1 answer to this debate, retain both retail and digital shops. No gain by removing either one.

@bamabam @Klokateer I dont think this is about being lazy to get the physical copy at all. This has to do with the ownership of the game, which is very little when it comes to digital download. You cannot resell the games, prices are always fixed, limited storage space and loss of data when HDD die. I have almost 40 ps3 games, try storing all that in a HDD. And with digital-download-only, it is likely to lead to always-online DRM which not only take away ownership but also create horrible gaming experience, case in point, Diablo 3. Btw, if we want to nitpick on the laziness part, I'd think it's always faster to drop by a shop to buy a game rather than waiting hours for a download.

I wonder what they're gona call it. PS3 Slim 2? PS3 2Slim? Or package it with an 8 Mile Bluray and call it the Slim Shady Bundle? (okay, that was bad :X)

@Matcam89 Agreed. Games on PSN stores are always so much more expensive than physical copies, which is funny since it doesnt even have any other costs like bluray disc and cover.

"Companies like Apple and Google are not tied to brick and mortar retailers..." Yes, because beside the actual hardware (i.e ipod, iphones, android devices) there is no physical content to speak of -_- what, is apple going to send you a CD for every song you download off itunes? or Google faxing you the search results?

Digital-download-only model is nothing but a way for companies to retain monopoly over the market because **** consumers, that's why.
