why I hate physical media

[Algor]

Yeah... generally a good idea to not touch your 360 when it's on, especially don't move it or turn it from vertical to horizontal or vice-versa. They should be more explicit about that.

I used to be weary of DD, but every PC game i've bought in the past year or so has been through steam.

It's 100% more convenient.

The last two games I bought from steam didnt work (Bioshock and Quake Wars), but their physical media counterparts worked just fine.

No DD for me unless its a game made by valve.

What I don't like about steam, is being dependant on steam to be able to play your games. Even on the games that have non-steam counterparts. It's silly. And it often means you can't play it when the steam servers are down :/

But that is what makes steam - you have a system which is providing at least some kind of security for digital copies of your hard work. And to be honest - the Offline Mode works very stable (at least in comparsion to earlier times of steam) and the steam gui doesn't take that much ram.

Is it wrong to like game boxes?

I suppose the other side of the coin is that if you scratch your disc you can't ever play again until the end of time no matter what.

At least if I have an issue with steam I probably have some avenue of resolution besides buying the game over again.

yeah it's lame how the steam servers are down so often.

two times last year - pissed me right off.

do i even need a rolleyes here or is my sarcasm strong enough

[SnipaMasta]

Sorry, physical media is here to stay and digital will not take over, simply because games are getting bigger and bigger and internet connections aren't.

I downloaded CoD4 - just over 6gigs.

Where is your physical media god now?!??!!!

Digital is superior and only queers and steers want anything other than digital :S

I got Bioshock 1 day before I would on Steam, with a physical copy, and £1 cheaper.

There's my physical media god.
