Sony more open-minded about Physical Media than Nintendo and Microsoft?

Quoting because I agree.

Listen, if the savings come from the membership program, plese tell me how I'm going to get eased into it if I get no discounts at all from the very start.

Outside of the obvious fact that there will still be sales, discounts, promotions, and price reductions outside of the membership program, it won't ease you in. Unless you've never bought a full priced game before in your life, that shouldn't be an issue. The membership discounts are rewards replacing the Club Nintendo rewards. You don't get rewarded for doing nothing.

I guess you have a point, since I'm actually an advocate of how Club Nintendo worked!

But I really can't get into the idea of an all-digital platform since I simply prefer buying physical media - my idea of a Club Nintendo replacement uses physical media as a means to ease people into digital media in the form of sales and whatnot, after all.

I guess I should really just be saying that you'll stand to alienate less people if you use physical media to ease people into digital media services - just like what PS+ and XBL Gold are doing now, but in different ways.
