If you can't connect to the internet, or the servers are down you are probably screwed though.  And what happens when the game is no longer supported?  That is not something that you really need to worry about with Starcraft, but for smaller digital services it is going to be a problem at some point.

We're talking about retail games offered digitally though, we aren't talking about smaller digital services as far as I'm concerned.

If Blizzard can do it, so can Nintendo. They are just not doing their homework by looking at how others are doing it, or they just don't care enough about our satisfaction.

Whoever you people are, get a grip. At this point no sane gamer buys a digital version if they have the option to buy a boxed product.

inncorrect -- unless you were intending to troll me.

digital has it's advantages that i value.  i like being about to switch between games without swapping disc/carts.  i like that i don't have to find a place to store all of this stuff, i already have waaay too many bookshelves of old games wasting space.
