i refuse to buy music without a hard copy and i will not buy games, movies or anything else in such a manner...and no i dont own a walkman or portable cd player what i do have is a cd collection that is also on my mp3...does that help you...if you like the trend defend it but leave the sarcasm at home

I don't mean to sound offensive, but that's the direction these industries are going.
I love collecting hard copies too. I have a massive DVD/Blu-Ray collection and I even shop around for vinyl when I can. But you have to look at the situation. It's a portable gaming device (In other words, its main function is portable gaming. Movies are meant for and utilized more for home use, and until recently music as well). The only disadvantage to download-only capability - past screwy ISP's - is personal preference. The pros far outweigh the cons.

Downloadable-only games are pretty much the only thing that could cause me to stop gaming permanently.

...This better not be a trend.

If next gen goes download only then the only console to NOT be download only will win. By miles upon miles.

 

not really as retailers could still sell games. They just would be on flash drives.

Sony cannot even manage to get PSN cards released in Europe so good luck with a download only PSP.

 

Hell not even Canada has them. They had them for a little bit and they never are seen again.

I wouldn't mind DLC cards as much as in boxes. Atleast we would still get a manual and a box *shrugs*



It's just that simple.
