game prices would have to seriously drop for full downloadable games to become a viable option.
@ the end of the day u don't really own anything & plus this will kill the trading or selling of ur second hand games.... its a nice idea, but I think it'll play into Sony/MS hands & we'll shoot ourselves in the foot.

But that won't happen will it? Music download services are not notably cheaper than a CD (except eMusic of course), movie ones don't seem to be planning to be either. This is a way of increasing corporate profits, not consumer value.

Companies don't want you to own music or movies... and once ubiquitous high speed wireless access is available they won't let you.

Will I still be soiled, when the dirt is off?

Prices will become cheaper once you can bypass the shops and not have to pay for the physical media.

I think that if you're willing to pay for something you want, though, companies want you to.
