While you may have saved $10 your games have no resale value. I cant deny it is shaped different. I cant believe how many people dont care for actually owning their games. To me PSP download games are worth no more than $5 as are most DD games. I AM guilty of that though, I play Dawn of War 2($80 for "content liscensing" though I didnt realise it at the time) , Valve games(probably another $200 worth of DD) and dozens of Steam games(all less than $3 a piece), so I really shouldnt hate. Either way, I really want a 2 or 3k PSP but have a giant PC game backlog so have fun with yours! |
When you buy a game on disc you are also owning only the license, there is just no real way to enforce that so they don't. As for "owning" it, I do own all of the PSP games I've downloaded as I never need to connect to the PSN again ever once I've activated my PSP and downloaded the game. The PSN can go down or I can pick up my PSP 50 years later and play if I want to. It's not like I have to connect to the PSN any time I want to play.
Yes, it's true, if I ever delete my game and the PSN no longer exists or has other DRM issues, my game is gone but you can say the same thing about discs and breaking, etc. etc.
Sure, I can't resell my license (yet) as I can with a disc, but, for *ME*, since I rarely resell my games, I get more value holding onto my games and potentially replaying them later than the $5 gamestop will give me for it.
Different strokes for different folks obviously :)
