One of the few things PSN kinda got right.

Full PS3 game downloads are cheaper than GOD games on the 360??? Hmmm, guess you learn something new each day.

I want to download Ninja Gaiden 2. Microsoft published the damn game and it's no on their service.

Just read the news blurb about New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS being retail, downloadable, and downloadable via retail purchase. There's your solution to not pissing off retail. How is that so hard for day1 digital releases MS?

I don't want your money.

Cool.

if MS could get Aksys to put Arcana Heart 3 on Games on Demand i would would pay $39.99 for it.

Because, well....watch this important message from Coca Cola, and we'll have an answer for you after that.

God damn Microsoft is so boneheaded.

I can only imagine the people who pay full MSRP for a GOD game six months after release are the same kind of people who would buy a movie from the Zune video marketplace when it's streaming for free on Netflix.

GOD is useless to me because 1) As an early adopter I've already been forced once to upgrade to one of Microsofts criminally over priced proprietary hard drives. I'm not forking over 100 plus bucks again just to have enough space to download or install a handfull of retail games. 2) GOD games are over priced, rarely day and date with release and the service came too late in the system's life cycle. 3) Steam

It's only successful until there is more competition, which there will be.

They seem to forget that hardware is their gate (literally) to making money.

As digital downloads increase in popularity, the game-specific hardware will disappear, and there will be nothing to stop people from downloading from all sorts of competing sources.

MS' days are doomed, just like Sony, just like the big music companies before.

Soon it will be publisher and dev-to-consumer sales.

I have never used GOD, I thought only old Xbox games were on it.

Hmm, if MS would make better use of it I'd probably use it.

Doesn't GoD have like 50,000 times as many games as PSN?

I thought PSN releases were, here and there. I am sure the prices are always as high or higher on PSN as well. No question.

I thought PS3 games ended up on DD much earlier than 360 ones, and at adjusted prices for their market value too unlike Live where they put them up for full price? I always felt MS lagged their price cuts to be comparable to prices in retail by a large amount of time.

I know Ive been saying this a lot on different threads already but my main problem with GoD is ip-lock. Just because Im not in the US, Im not allowed to download these games? Just remove it...

Thats been my experience. If nothing else, if you have PS+ you can often catch them at a good discount.

That part about people happy with buying six month old games at full price is an actual quote?

Geesh, sounds like he is mocking the consumers who do that XD
