| spemanig said: Honestly, people saying physical is better is like saying DVD > On Demand or walking to your TV > using a remote. It's literally night and day. I keep going back to music because it's true. Why anyone would continue to swap CDs in an age where you can download thousands of songs on your phone and swap each with a mere tap it beyond me. All for what? So you can hold and smell the box? So you can sell it after you listen to the album 20 times? It's so silly. Especially since digital hasn't even been fully optimized for consoles yet. Imagine a console that is fully optimized for a seamless, all digital, gaming experience. We're on the brink of something revolutionary. |
I don't think I've read anyone acting as though it's a difference between walking to the TV and using a remote. You are saying we are denying the progress of technology when this is far from the case. On Demand might be in right now but it replies on a internet connection, no net connection, no on demand and Blu-Rays are better. :P
It's a case that at this time digital is just not as viable as an option as in other entertainment mediums. Game sizes are ever increasing, while music digital size is still what? a few mb per song? (Depending on bit rate). Singles from digital stores are the same cost if not cheaper than highstreet. Games need to stop progressing in size and be the same or cheaper in cost before it's a good option for the general public.
But you have to consider something with the movement of music from CDs to digital, it took years. CD sales still count for nearly 50% of the market. Here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-26255173 - from last year.
Hmm, pie.
