There is something to be said about digital distribution when theft or fire strikes. While you may never own a physical copy, it's almost peace of mind knowing your collection is safe in the cloud. #1
I picked up a copy of RAGE on the PlayStation 3 last night and I am a bit disappointed with the texture streaming. I mean, an 8gb install and every time you move the camera you have to watch models and textures stream in. Pretty unacceptable... I really hope they release a patch soon to address this, but on the plus side the game is a lot of fun. #2
EDIT : why are you disagreeing...the article itself speculates it will be multiplatform. #10.1
