Next gen: Will it go all digital?

I already only play 1-3 games a month. If they go digital then it will probably be one new game a month. Maybe.

I like buying games at the store and having the instruction manual to quickly glance through and never look at again. Then there is the CD that when scratched is almost worthless so you need to rebuy it. What they should do is include a digital copy with it for when the inevitable does happen and your game is unusable.

As for this threads question. It seems that it could end up like that. GAME is going under, Used games are selling like hotcakes, and people love downloading anything they can download. Even the wii U is rumored via Xxains thread to have a ton of big downloadable games coming out with its launch. Still, a lot of traditional boxed games are selling well in stores and online, so I doubt it will be this generation. Feel free to have digital copies available to people though for a cheaper price.

Lol, that's why I've always been super careful with my game discs. My FFVII ended up with some scratches on disk two but I could work through it locking up at one point in the game...this is before someone stole it from me. That was back before it was on PSN for $10. I really like the blu ray discs as they are much more scratch resistant than dvds and especially cds
