I'm pretty sure it is more recent that that, because it was just May that the EU ruled that consumers have the right to resell digital content.  It may have been an appeals court, but regardless the affirmation was made this year.

With Microsoft implementing the means to sell physical media content licensed to a user then I'm assuming the ability to sell digital content will be possible.  There may be reasonable restrictions placed on it, however.  Such as not to someone who hasn't been your friend for 30 days or more, but the means to do so seem to be in the works.

I'm quite aware.  More than half the world doesn't. 

Unless the law otherwise restricts consumer rights in a particular part of the world, there is little benefit to establishing region specific policies when universal policies work just as well.

If you're speaking about Internet access, well speak to your telcos.  The only people that can improve the situation is to talk to local telcos and let them know what you want.  Trust me, I grew up in a rural town, I spent hours writing companies begging for a local modem bank so I could access national services with a local call.  You're talking to a guy who racked up $12,000 in long distance fees in less than three months. 

On top of that I got 1200bps for a download/upload speed.  I know what life in the slow lane is like.  I've also online gamed in the console generation with Xbox LIVE on 128Kbps (ISDN) and 1Mbps/256Kbps broadband cable connection.

If they don't bring reliable, high-speed Internet to where every you live, move to a bigger city.  That's what I did.  Then I went to work for an Internet Service Provider.  If moving to a bigger city doesn't work, then move country?  I suppose priorities here, as the Internet is important to me. 

I also don't like digital. There's no sense of happiness in buying it.

I prefer to touch the stuff I own. Plus, installing from a disc is still faster. I never love reinstalling GTA 4+ DLC. And eventually your saves on space benefit will stop. Fully digital in the future with 8k resolution (movies would be around 200-400GB at 8k) games/movies/apps/books etc. will make you use lots of hard drives. Or lots of re-downloading/streaming. Will 100TB hard drives be the norm by that point. Who can say. I wouldn't love to be the poor guy who's had a drive crash. And have to redownload all that mess.

The thing I really love about digital is that movies and TV shows wouldn't be able to spam you with their logos and lock out menu commands then.

Not true. The seller buys a number of keys, I've seen a few cases on amazon and steam where they sold all the keys and had to stop the sale or wait for another bunch. Also, when licenses expire, you can't buy the game anymore (e.g. Outrun on XBLA/PSN, Blur on Steam).

You have got to be kidding me. I'm not moving house in order to play console games.

If Microsoft don't want my money, so be it.

I prefer physical cause it is fun having a collection.

However not against digital as I have steam. What I am against is digital on consoles as when a console generation ends the support for that console ends. What happens to my collection then, if I can't authenticate, or device dies etc and can't re-download my games? This is the hurdle that consoles need to solve before people will embrace digital on them.

Digital maybe the future, even I will admit to that but for us poor saps that lives in developing markets with bad internet infrastructure. Waiting half a day can be a hassle.

Same way CDs were better than cartridges... they really weren't, but they were if you know what I mean.

I much prefer digital, I was really hoping that this next gen would be pure digital and ditch optical drives. I rip all my DVD's and Blu-rays and PC games to ISO's and store them centrally on raided storage. I can access any game or movie I own in any room of my house on any TV, PC or console without ever having to locate the disk (only disks I use are for consoles at moment). I can even stream movies from my house to my laptop while travelling (assuming I am somewhere with a fast enough connection). Digital when done right is fantastic, having said that I HATE and despise and avoid wherever possible Steam and the dumb ar$e restrictions it places on content, and while I like the direction Xbox One is headed I really wish they had done it differently than the once every 24 hour check, perhaps unique digital certs on disks or such which would need revoking before transferring to a new owner, still I like the direction, just not the proposed implementation.
