Forums - Sony Discussion - Why no games on demand on PS3?

This really sucks. In my country new games costs 80$. I dont wanna buy them from playasia or shopto cause i'll wait 3 weeks for them+ payment for shipping. I really need this service god damn, i dont care of the game size, i just want normal price

Quiet you, and do what Sony tells you! Get a second job to buy games!



I don't understand if you want a Games on Demand service or a Game Download Service for the Full-Size Blu-Ray games of like 20GB+....



Just waiting for that PS Vita to come out so I can play some full featured games on the go with that beautiful screen and control scheme...

No justice. I want to pay as much as pay US players or GB. I dont care about size, my speed is goooood) 



Games are too big. The majority of PS3 owners wouldn't be able to fit very many full downloaded games on the hard drive, so pretty much nobody would use it.

Mainland Europeans pay $80 for a new game without complaining.

Because games that utilise bluray are simply too large to download.

If sony does provide games on demand it would most likely be for multiplatform/playstation 2 games.

really so all those multiplat games that are on the 360 as well are too big to download?

Tough luck? Theres about 5.5 billion other people in the world that don't get to pay the same price as people in the US do. Don't think they'll change that just for you :p

As in games that take up more than 10gb of disk space.

I understand what you mean. Sony may not be able to provide large games for download but they can still provide smaller games like call of duty.

Assassins Creed, Bioshock and Oblivion etc.. average 6gb.

 

Although me personally rather enjoy the layout of PSN as it is. PSN has their Ratchet and Clank, Burout, Wipeout and GT5:P etc.
