Digital distribution won't overtake physical sales within the next 10 years. 100 mbps internet connections aren't that common outside the US and Japan, harddrives aren't universal either (Arcade).

Bitterness? Ah, I think psychologist would call your statement "projecting"...
As for the rest of the comments here, you should learn the difference between "WILL" and "IS"
MS has already accepted this with XBO's unlike Sony who's yet to release any original PS games on the PSN.
Does MS think that Digital already or is currently passing physical sales? of course not, so why sell something to the public that won't be needed for years?
Ah Montana, I get it you're referring to the bitterness in this thread!!

I agree, but I wonder how MS plans to solve the bandwidth issues that currently exist. Or do they believe that those issues will go away as the broadband market matures?
MS does allow for original Xbox games to be downloaded, but none of their larger games can be downloaded. I just don't see how what they are saying is possible unless they start posting their games online or get rid of their Draconian attitude towards "owning" your HDD.
Discs are here to stay until each console has a 300 GB HDD and you can download any game you want directly off the PSN, XBLA, WiiWare (or future equivalents).

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

You've never used the PSN. Thats for sure.

Sony's yet to release ANY original games on the Playstation Network? Is that so?
| endimion said: yeah except that I agree that there is no way around digital download..... I think the last CD I bought was 10 years ago.... DVD video same thing and hopefully games very soon.... |
Have you heard of piracy? Digital distribution is a pirates dream come true!

The best way to learn about something is to never use it. Where have you been?

lolpwned?
There are PS games on the PSN, smartness.
And they also have full PS3 titles.
Now where are full 360 titles on XBLM?
I don't understand why this warrants news. MS says that the media they're backing most heavily is most important. Sony says Blueray is important. Now if one of these two statements is said by the other company, that would be news. But a company saying that their method is the best and most important media, that's to be expected.
