Digital distribution will compensate for its DRM-like attributes with convenience, services and savings for the consumer. Why should I care that I can't get a $20 trade-in value at Gamestop if I paid $20 less for the game in the first place?

This SecureROM crap only offers the consumer more costs.

 

 

You actually think people will stop bitching ?

And what makes you think digitally distributed games will be cheaper ?

Seems to me new releases are the same price on Steam as in retail.

So are the retail games you can download on the PSN.

You're not going to pay less for digital games than at retail as long as games still come at retail too or retailer would complain about unfair competition..( and retailers will keep a say as they are the medium to sell the consoles themselves).

 

 Since online distribution is so much cheaper than brick and mortar, those which do provide better value to the consumer will succeed, those which do not will fail.

Retailers aren't in much of a position to object. I don't see them flexing their might to crush music and movie downloads.
