EA is "going to be a 100% digital company, period" says Gibeau

It's going to be inevitable. Be it next generation or the one after, Digital Only gaming will become a reality for home consoles. One thing that I ask is for games to be a lot more cheaper compared to retails and have discount sales from time to time(Kind of like what Steam is doing).

Agree 100%. The reason the games can't be cheaper on PSN is because it'll piss off the retailers, so they have to charge the same.

ITs the one thing that is and always has been annoying about downloading games.
PRICE.

Good luck, I splashed out 20 on RE:CHDC and I can't help but regret it, not because if the game, I'd happily pay £20 for a disc version, but I am regretting paying £20 for something I don't physically have.
And WHY does digital cost more? It don't make sense
They don't charge the same as retail, they charge £5-10 more and over charge for old games
EA can't request £47.99 for a digital game I can get brand new in physical from for £22.99 or less

Thats what I've been trying to say, its all well and good to want to make all of your content digital, and thats fine. But I don't think it can compete efficiently with retail the frequency of their big sales. You will ALWAYS find the games cheaper at stores than on the PSN

the only good thing I see about this is backwards compatibility,
as consoles get more advance you see less and less ways of playing old games. if digital distribution means I can play all my games on the next playstion and so on then I'm all for it.

just be happy it's not cloud gaming, not being able to play offline, that would be a problem.

That is something I wouldn't mind, we get a PS4 and day one we can download all our purchased games from PS3 to PS2/PSone classics and it would be all backwards compatible, but I fear it won't be that way and all our purchases will remain on our PS3's

Why don't we take EA and shove it down a cliff?

[Bigdoggy]

well, lol, EA is kind of the infomercials in the gaming industry. all their games coming out and were released within a year or so have marketing smeared all over it. at a certain point it becomes ridiculous but i will just sit back and watch how EA does from the background.

i know they wont get nearly as many sales in other countries as if they had a physical media.

I've had a dislike for dd @ 100% levels. However, I've started doing more game downloading, and I'm starting to like it more. So this isn't a "fuck off" conspiracy in my book.

Because I love so many of their games. I am fine with DD.
