Haha, I knew Gamestop getting into digital distribution would lead to awesome things!



wait you can't just re download the game any time you want? Why would anyone use that service?

Tell me about it. I wonder how steam will respond. Maybe they will start charging a per download fee ;)



next thing Gamestop will offer a downloadservice, with a specially trained employee coming to your house and download the games for you.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

hey bestbuy, sells PS3's that come with the latest firmware installed by the expertly trained employees.

they go to months of rigorous schooling and training, so that they never fail at pressing, "update system" button

If you're not the CEO of Gamestop, you should be.



Wow that's ridiculous! And the "insurance" nearly costs as much as the game >:(



are they charging for something there compeitior that dominates the markets offers for free for life (as long as steam is around). 

they cant be charging for this, and they cant just have 18th months on something thats an collection of data in an location owned by them. 

edit: They are charging for this, well this means one thing sadly for gamestop: no market. No gamer will use this service anymore and even when its removed no gamer would come back because they know gamestop pulls stuff like this. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong
