to be honest im 100 percent against this personally

why buy games i cant sell later? why buy games dependant on a disc drive and service i pay 50 a year for?

its a mistake for me, looking at my 40 arcade games. the money i spent, and no way to get any back on the games im done. just not practical. if next box is download only i wont even buy it.

this is a great thing dont get me wrong, but theres otherways that this will be way more pricey for people. espescially looking at how xbl never drops prices on ANYTHING really.

I can understand where your coming from, but I personally have almost every game i've ever bought (some went into game heaven), and i'm not even a game collector.  There is no real reason, other than collectors, to stick with physical media.  Games should cost less to ship and thus cost less to buy.  More actual games will be sold because no one is buying used games thus they should cost less to buy.

On the portable side its even better since you won't have to carry a bunch of your games in your pocket.

In the end though im pretty sure both digital and physical will sell together even next generation, ill probably just never buy a phyisical game at that point.

i just hope the pricing has more to do with steam and real world pricing, then say how it is now.

most of their og xbox games are 15 bucks, which is more than they are in the real world (5$ to 10$).  all the money theyve made off the og games right now, they woulda made ten times as much if they just tossed ALL the games on at 5 bucks a pop.

also the video prices in canada are mental, clocking in at 7 buckish, which is not even as much as the movies used are, let alone rented at a store.

with good pricing im down for online buying.
