Short and sweet

Could downloads replace hard-copy games as a whole?

I don't fancy downloading GTA IV to a 360 HDD, but maybe when HDDs are bigger...

[PaulMacC]

I'd prefer having an actual copy of it

[Grainger@CUFC]

There was that Phantom console that was going to have that and it just never happened. Suppose Steam has been the leader in this actually becoming a widely used way of getting games.

I'd prefer to have a physical copy though.

It's only good if a game you want in-store is out of stock. Then that's the only reason they should release this feature, but it's fine as it is

I really can't see a world when digital replaces physical, as awesome as it is in ways I would prefer saving harddrive space than the space in my room for a tiny little box.

[Southe,]

i like to own the actual game but i could see it happening if HD got bigger and cheaper

Me to lol

I don't think it can fully happen, but it will grow. I enjoy having the box in my hand so i'd quite like it not to happen!

I think it will happen eventually, look at the success of Steam

With the internet speed increases, bigger hard drives and unlimited downloads, its going to get very popular. Not to mention the money you save.

Ever since i found steam, i havent bought any hard copy games.

I prefer having the physical copy so if I don't like it I can trade it in.
