[url=http://us.playstation.com/playstationnow/]Look at this.[/url] Microsoft is going to be doing something similar for the Xbone. Once these services include current-gen games, you'll see a migration to all-digital content on consoles like you had on the PC.

Ah, well the switch to Digital content I had heard about before, whether that can completely eliminate Game Stop or not is another story. I will be sad when Game Cases and such aren't around anymore, but it will save costs. Protecting everything digitally though is iffy for me, physical products and the like are easier to safeguard, digital content can get corrupted and so on.

[quote]Protecting everything digitally though is iffy for me, physical products and the like are easier to safeguard, digital content can get corrupted and so on.[/quote]That's why companies like Valve let you download it as many times as you want. And Origin has a "Don't like it? Return it!" policy. My big concern used to be that a digital distributor would go under and all of my purchases would've been for naught, but Valve has a policy where if they ever did go under they'd release the DRM on their games so that you wouldn't need Steam to run them.

We can only hope that policies and systems like what Valve is doing are what safeguards them for us then. Valve certainly seems to know what to do themselves, I'd be satisfied if a company like them oversaw all digital transactions for games and the like more-so then Sony and Microsoft. Sony stole 10$ from me the other week, literally just reached their hand into my wallet and took a 10$.
