That's fine. Choice is good...But are you are telling me that they are going to match Microsoft with a digital ecosystem as well as keep retail disk based gaming alive and take care of every man, woman and child and leave no one behind. All this while keeping the same or better user experience? And that I won't have a situation like I did last night where I bought the Last of Us on PSN and it took 30 minutes to download and 7 HOURS to install? But yeah, slow disk loading retail games will still be there...thats a plus right? |
Sony digital eco system is currently ahead of microsoft where competitive pricing is concernd. I'm a PS+ member and sony continually offer superior deals and more downloadable titles than MS (I'm also an XBL gold member). As we move forward into a generation where every system has enough memory to support huge digital library's and the hardware to allow seamless background downloads (sony have aready confirmed you can play games whilst installing), we will see digital prices fall as 3rd parties try to capitlise on digital sales and remove 2nd sales: this is going to happen regardless of DRM policies. And of course sony is buidling their infrastructure, hence the mandatory ps+ requirement for online play.
Slow disk loading retails games will be optional, so will an HDD install.
