That's why smart people buy things in retail stores whenever they have chance ;) |
yeah but no.... for many reasons, first if they were going fully digital with the same right as physical.... they'd save on production cost for the box packaging and the CD (without counting the press etc) which could then be seen as a lower price ( you can already see that with music or movies Vs the retail price of the physical disc in some cases)
but also the fact that a CD DVD or Blu ray are probably the wost way to store and save data over a long period of time a VHS, DATA tape, or an old floppy disk have longer life expectancy than those crapy digital support.... one of the reason I beileve BLU ray is the shittiest step up (HD DVD too for that matter) in storage format we had since mini disk....
and finally just for the sake of the planet... less plastic=less carbon emission and just for that digital is the smartest way.....
the real issue is not which is better..... because digital is clearly the best.... if all ownership laws are equal.... back in the day the same crap was going on with disks.... so just give time the law to catch up and everything will work out....
conclusion smart people get together into consumer groups to find smart solution.....
