Lol?  It's a game, does hydrophobia really carry over from real life to a virual world?

They need to sell the games for LESS than retail price, as you can't resell downloaded games (this decreases the actual price of retail games).

It's not like they can't do it either... Shave the retailer profit margin off the price and they can offer a better price than retail stores. Distributing online files costs like $0.10 per GB (maybe less for MS), so the transfer fee is minimal...

It does for me. Hell, I borrowed that latest Tomb Raider game off a friend, couldn't play beyond the second level because it was a diving one.

I tried playing the demo of Bioshock - my heart was pacing when I was swimming towards the island, but I stuck through. I couldn't handle it when it opened out in that submarine, and you was able to see through and look at the underwater city, I had to switch it off.



Not trying to make fun of your phobia, or any phobia but lol... It's funny. :)



Eh, laugh away, I'm not offended in any way.

Don't play Trine then Samual!



Tease.

I wasn't intending to, Squallaim.



Give me a disk.
