• You can play most games on "offline mode" on Steam (that means no internet).
• Discounts, lots and lots of discounts

 

If MS does implement something similar like Steam with awesome deals then I don't think gamers will complain all that much. There's still the problem of trading games though, but that's something that hasn't affected me all that much as a PC gamer.

Steam does have some amazing sales!  But aren't they usually older games that you can get for about the same price used?  I have a steam account, just don't use it very often. 

I have to say though, you can get some good deals on Xbox too if you watch for specials.  I got a full digital Alan Wake for $5. 

They are promoting more 'half price' periods on DLC every week and month.  The best one seems to be during the Holiday December – January time.  I wish they would have another season like that.

And ocassionaly, they give a way a game for free. 

There are always full retail games on sale for consoles, too!

There are different retailers in direct competition so you can find good deals there as well. Steam shop has no competition on steam.
