It seems a lot of the anti's in this thread seem to think that technology is always going to be what it is now, that compression techniques and procedurally generated content will never get better. Google is putting 500mb lines in 30 cities in America this year (I beleive it's this year)! You could download a PS3 sized game in less than an hour at that speed, can you drive to the store and buy a disk much faster than that? That the next gen of systems won't be powerful enough to uncompress virtually unlimited data at incredible speeds. Technology is getting faster, more efficient and streamlined every day, these arguments that basically say "You can't do X!" are rediculous and have a really good chance of being proven wrong in 6 months! Some of this is really coming off as blind Sony defense.
For the record I support physical media, I like having the trappings of my hobby and I believe DD has a place just not replacing physical media. I just don't like seeing people making broad negative generalizations about technology with no reason beyond liking their gaming system.
