Paying for downloads?

[Cobra]

It is actually an interesting argument. As on the other had you can even get the reverse. I really wanted the album The Forth Legacy by Kamelot but due to importing costs, currency differences and the like the only store I could find it at wanted $40 for it.

I was delighted when I saw it for just a little over $10 in iTunes and can now listen to it.

Like with most things, you have your pros and cons, so I doubt everyone will ever see eye to eye with this one.

I'm all about giving people both options. If they want to pay for downloads, let them, as long as I can still buy a hard copy.

I'd hate for this whole digital distribution thing to force me out of the hobby

Having made PC games at one time, I can say that having to make something physical to ship is a lot more costly, especially for just an individual or very small group trying to get their game out there. So it really is great being able to offer games this way now.

However as far as being a collector goes it's unfortunate when you can't get a game to add to your growing online collection. Rage of Magic II that I got yesterday is an example, as I wanted to get something I could put up on RFGen.

Bought the Oasis 3-song pack last night for Rock Band.

Also started downloading the demo for The Club. Free.

Don't forget the free Xbox Live Arcade download from Microsoft from today until Saturday - or whenever it ends.

^That's right. Thanks for the reminder. Undertow is supposed to be a pretty good game!
