It's obvious that DD is good for developers and publishers. There won't be any pirated games anymore with DD. The pre-owned market will also not exist  anymore.

What does DD mean for gamers? Downloading your game takes time. After that you need to install your game. The instant play concept is (already) gone. How big does your HDD has to be in order to store all your games? Will consoles ship with enough HDD space? Unlimited space on a server just like an e-mail account could be the answer.

Are we going to pay more for our games? Games cut into smaller episodic pieces will eventually cost more than a retail game. However there's an option to buy more episodic content. I'd rather play a free demo or beta, than buying one episode of a game. Old games are overpriced compared to pre-owned games. For example you are paying $5 for Half Life  pre-owned and $10 for the same game on steam. I have to mention that there are pretty "good" deals on DD. The problem is your paying more and your getting more games. That's fair however you didn't intent to buy them all in the first place. Conclusion single games are expensive and multiple games are cheap on DD. You also have to wait very long before these deals show up.

Do we keep what we buy forever? Could you move all your PSN games to your PSN 2.0 account on your PS4?

What's your point of view?
