If Everything was always digitally distributed do you think. . .

If all media (cd's, movies, games ext.) was digitally distributed do you think you'd shit your pants the first time you received a physical retail copy of a game? I think I would lol. The beautiful plastic wrap waiting to be pealed off, the smooth look of the shiny case, the wonderful sent of the ten page manual. I love downloading games, but I also like having a physcal copy of the games I trully love, ya know?

No, I do think that I would shit my pants. Receiving cool things does not cause me to spontaneously shit.

I think most of us know how to control ourselves so such things do not happen.

Back on topic, I would definately like to receive a physical copy of a game rather than a download. Same with letters and email.

I love digital downloads, like games off of Steam, XBLA, PSN. Ect. But I much prefer having a physical copy of the game, and getting LCE's and stuff.

For me it's a question of space...hard drive space.  I don't like the idea of always having to worry if I have enough space on my HDD to receive the song, movie or game I am purchasing.  Even if I stack games up from the floor to the ceiling, I'm going to find room for something I buy, but that's not always true for downloaded entertainment.  Instead of walls of games and DVDs, I'll wind up with stacks of hard drives that I have to keep switching around to see what I am looking for.  Right now I am in market for another new external hard drive because I've filled two up and need more space.  Perhaps a future "cloud" storage alternative will work one day, although I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be with the idea of renting virtual space for digital entertainment I don't own.  Either way, I still maintain that the American broadband infrastructure isn't prepared for a complete switch to digital distribution.

Why does it really matter? As long as you get to use it, whats the problem?

It seems to matter to a lot of people for some reason...I just don't get it."

But isn't that Sony's plan for the future and world domination?
