@SEEDman_X I don't think many people has a loyalty to a particular publisher, unless the publisher makes consoles or have a service like Steam. Without even realising it, many of the games I have bought are were published by EA. Not because I like EA, they just happen to publish the games I like.
If you give at least $10 or $15 to certain Kickstarters, you already get the game in digital form. If you did not contribute to the Kickstarter (or gave less than the amounts stated), you still have to buy the game normally.
By the way, none of this means the games are published by EA. They just have a perk when sold through Origin, but you can still buy them elsewhere.
Netbooks plays old games fine. Don't look down on them; I have Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 installed but I still play Fallout 2 and Diablo 2 a lot. I would've bought that Asus N10J. But the biggest obstacle to netbooks for me is the tininess of the thing, and I have large hands (I would probably have little problem with the ORIGINAL Xbox gamepad). I tell you where you can find games that run on netbooks (no CD or DRM!): GoG.com. Old games that have been patched and made xp/vista compatible for $6 or $10. They have the Fallouts, the Disciples, Rise of The Triads, Freespace, Jagged Alliance and stuff.
Sucks to be a Brit, PS3-wise. Actually, if you are a mainstream Sony fan, it sucks everywhere when buying the PS3. Too bad, I actually like the PS2 library.
