The choice where to buy a game, and at what price. You will never be able to buy a 2-year old game at Best Buy for 5 bucks. Every time you purchase a game, you lose 100% of your investment, because you can't resell it. So you give total control to Sony and do away with competition, which in turn leads to higher prices. On the other hand, if the example PSP Go sets catches on and other companies follow suit, then this will kill jobs. For digital distribution, we don't need people to write manuals and design boxes, to work in factories to produce games. We don't need truck drivers to bring them to the stores. We don't need people to sell them in stores. All of those people previously involved in manufacturing, distributing and selling games will no longer be needed. So by saying "yes" to PSP Go, you say "yes" to killing jobs (in your own country too), and "yes" to less value for money and "yes" to higher prices. |
LOL, go look at the price of games on PSN and then in store. Only new games are selling for 30-40, all the other one normally sell between 10-20. And if you kill all those jobs like you said, you also kill a part of the cost meaning they can sell it lower through the internet. DD makes sense in every way but collecting stuff or reselling it, even for the environment, which is pretty good.
