With all the hardware makers pushing for on-line distribution this generation, what is the licensing model like?
I ask, because if it's like iTunes that will surely suck since console gamers have no means of backing up data.
Once you pay for a game and it's registered to your account, should your HD take a crap on you; can you DL it again or do you have to shell out for it once more?
I'm both excited that we'll finally have something akin to the Simple 1500-2000 model in the West (when I get a P$3 in 2010), and afraid because I can see these companies implementing a one price / one download model.
