The PS3 has offered games digitally for over a year I bought last years NCAA Football and NHL digitally, and preordered the digital copy for The Last of Us just the other day. Most games aren't worth $60 though, they'll never be $39.99 which would be perfect.


The 360 has had digital game downloads for much longer than a year but new games were not available the day they were released. This will be the case with the Xb1. Did the PS3 offer games online the same day they were released?

Yes, all of those I mentioned.

Call it Day 1 Digital, download unlocks at midnight and The Last of Us is the first one you can play while it downloads.

I think if people started to look at the Xbox One like it was Steam they would be a lot less pissed about it. Games on Steam are much cheaper, but like the OP maybe we see a reduction in prize as we closer to digital distribution. The internet is slow in most places right now to take that next step, but I can see it reaching that by the end of these consoles cycles for sure.

I can't wait to do my game shopping from my couch.

I either stream or download all of my music. I stream or download most of my movies and TV shows. I don't see what is so different about downloading my games.

I have bought the last 2 NBA 2k games on demand and I have played the shite out of them because they are just there when I want to play a random game.
