Not really. I know a lot of us were up in arms about their policy, but years down the road, it will just be the way it is. I'm sure 10 years ago no one would ever dream of paying $60 a year to play games online. Now it's a given by most gamers...........other than those neanderthal PS3'ers, AMIRITE???????


But if a decline in the gaming aftermarket means cheaper new games, I'm all for it. And I have good internet, so I'll be logged in if they want me to.

Yep, a lot of people really just haven't thought enough in-depth about it to realize how good it could be for them. They just see extra restrictions and think it's automatically evil.

Take The Witcher 2, for example:
$20 on steam, and currently on sale for PC at $6
vs.
$28 for a used copy at gamestop, and $40 digital download on the 360
