In reply to DeadChime. Yeah but when u trade that game in to Gamestop or GAME (UK), they take that disc, give u half or less, then resell it for almost full price, and give nothing back to the studios who made it. Look around man, even Konami's possibly leaving the console business now. Also, on X1 & PS4 (I believe) we can share digital games with friends. Me n ma brother do it, back n forth. Saves us lots of money. This is far from a black n white situation. But I respect ur opinion. I just differ here.

In reply to DeadChime. Oh, and you can't sell it or ask for a refund/exchange...

I like digital download. BUT I don’t like the idea being a captive customer with one single publisher. It’s not MP3 that I can carry over to ALL my devices. There is no backward compatibility, when we leave a generation for a new one, it’s like ditching all the library…. No more REAL competition. Price drop will be then less “useful” for publishers… Eventually, I don’t like All digital

Digital downloads have no future. The games only last as long as the infrastructure supporting them. After that you loose the content that you paid for. Digital will never work until we have internal hard drives capable of storing every game we download for the console during its whole lifespan.

Right now we have a small hard drive that requires games to be deleted to make way for new ones. If you decide to replay a game in the future that you deleted, you will eventually find that the game is longer on the server or the whole service has been closed down. Consumers require their own backup of the game content. That backup is the blu-ray disc.
