Wow that Gamestop in the picture has a lot of games... Anyways, that's a good idea for Gamestop to try to snuggle up with developers.

I'd still rather buy games off of Amazon where they're cheaper, have no shipping & handling fees, and I don't have to waste time and gas to get the game. =)

This. Downloads are probably the future anyway. Most like me prefer physical copies though. What if the company you downloaded from collapses and your hdd corrupts?

 

How likely is that to happen? I've never even heard of it before, what exactly is it?

What if the company collapses and your disk/cartridge stops working? :P At least there's always the option to download the *** if your copy breaks. It's not illegal as long as you have a copy of the game after all... right?

 

If your disk/cartridge stop working. You can buy used ones from ebay. If you download games from a company's servers and they shut down, how would you replace them because chances are they'll be DRM'd.

 I've had hdds fail on me multiple times. Consider yourself lucky to never have experienced this.
