Reading this thread doesn't help my faith in humanity. Why are so many people assuming that Sony wouldn't put PS3 titles up for download if they did this, perhaps even the old ones?

Sure, there are some things to criticize regarding this idea, but let's keep this real. When you get to an incredible conclusion, it often helps to examine your assumptions.

 

 

 One question, have u downloaded any of the full length games available on PSN right now??? Its time consuming to say the least. And who in their right mind would want a ps3 that cant play any of the games that are on disc?? Do you really think its conceivable for them to place every ps3 title on PSN for download???

Releasing a system that cant play all the games for said system is a joke,  and how many ppl really the have light speed internet speed that would be needed to make downloads worth the time? Everyone on this site has pretty much agreed we are atleast a few years away from being able to go download only for any console. In short its just a stupid idea right now.

As I said, there are things to criticize about the idea, but most people are going off the ridiculous assumption that the author is suggesting a PS3 which doesn't play games...

To answer your question, no because I don't own a PS3. I have, however, downloaded Ninja Gaiden Black on the 360 which was a 5-6 GB download. It took me less than an hour which is less time than it would take me to find it at a store. Many people in Europe have at least a 10 Mbit/s connection, and I hear in Japan connections are very good too.
