@tanookisuit This is exactly how I feel. People just aren't thinking far enough ahead. Xbox Live, PSN, Nintendo Network are not going to be around forever. Even if they around for a long time, it is inevitable that these services will eventually cease to be profitable and will be shut down. Then what? Poof! All those games you bought digitally are gone if your console breaks down or your hard-drive crashes. I know some people don't care, but I like the security of knowing that even in 20 years, I'll still be able to play all of my games even if these services are no longer online or no longer offer access to the content I purchased.
