Nope because the market isn't ready - by that I mean a stable, consistent global set of standards and approaches across multiple devices for the purchase and long term ownership of digital content.

I do buy digitally, mainly on Steam, with some Apple/Android store, but it's obvious to me this whole area is very much in its infancy.

Heck I still tend to buy CDs and rip to digital as this is often the easier route if you want to use multiple devices/formats and only purchase the content once.



Couldn't have said it better myself. With this SOPA and potential rumor No-Used-Games feature on the next Xbox, people are aware that companies can restrict our rights as consumers even more. If we went full digital some companies can eliminate the concept of ownership through streaming. This is why I don't use Onelive, or to a lesser extent, Gametap.


Yep.

Because of the EULAs....You can't own the games.

 

This is why I will never ever use a fully dig. dist. system.
