Lee Andrew Henderson: News about the top hit songs in the US will usually include facts about the number of downloads on Amazon or iTunes or the number of viewings on YouTube. The music industry has headed in a digital direction for some

I'm divided on the matter. At the moment I like my hard copies of my PS3 games, but in the future I don't think I will have a problem with digital copies. I'm totally okay with digital PSN games.
On my PC I get many of my games through steam and the transition from hard copies PC games to steam was no problem.
For many I think it comes down to "owning" the game. Having the hard copy makes a false feeling of owning the game where digital copy does not imo. But remember, you don't "own" the game with a hard copy. It's only a method to provide the content.
I have only bought 3 hardcopy games since the release of HL2 and Steam:
Gears of War PC, UT3 and Testdrive Unlimited and only because they were dirt cheap.
Im cool with buying DLC on PSN and Live but I dont like the idea of games on demand on Xbox Live they are old games that are overpriced and not only do they fill up your hard drive they also take forever to download and add more to your download limit on your ISP.
Will always prefer hard copies, i want to feel that im actually buying something and not just data.
I prefer physical media. It makes me feel like I really own it...
