Downloading media outside of free mediums like music on your computer (free as in it can be replaced, saved, copied at any time) is a far cry from a downloadable game that could only be played on your console that you download it on and should anything happen to your console you're dependent on the company or their web services still being around to fix it. It's one less degree of ownership, you don't actually buy a product so much as you rent it.
