Re: Must be a slow news day

Exactly. Not to mention, the costs are much less or should be to the Customer and Company. They don't

A) Have to pay for the printed manuals and CDS
B) Have the costs and percentage loss associated with selling at a store.

C) Are the direct retailers and can keep track of your purchases, in case of a hardware failure. A bad CD or broken CD aren't a worry.

The only conceivable downside to downloading legally is if the company is a small one where one risks losing access to the game he / she purchased if it were to fold.

those two stores are good examples of how downloads should work, the store remembers what you own and even the loss of an HDD you can still go back and get the games you buy for free and not have to buy new downloads.
