Ok, lets bring the debate over from SOHH...

[courtdog]

You only want the digital age to come so you can MAYBE pirate games more easily you broke bytch

Yeah, because its much harder downloading these physical copies I download now

Bruh, I'm being dead serious. And she's not in the minority when it comes to children and smartphones. Things like this is normal to the new generation.
My kids think downloading is normal. We go out to stores, they don't even ask for me to buy shyt. They be like "Yo dad, can you download that when we get home"

Welcome to 2012!!!

Internet providers are getting carried away with these fukking caps, and they think we're gonna we're gonna go 100% digital

its all a plan

soon it will be like 2 companies owning everything

unless ppl shyt on these companies now, they WILL rape u in the future

they ARE gearing up towards charging you for digital downloads, DLC etc.

at the same time they will raise caps on internet, by that time everything would be digital because they have all these losers in the bag with it

and nobody will be able to do shyt but pay 60 dollars for games, 20 for DLC,

plus your 60-100 dollar a month internet bill
plus the extra 20 because you went over the cap

plus an extra 40 because oh ya ur fukking tv runs off the internet now and its busting ur cap after 4 days

plus u got netflix etc.

after 2 years u paying 200-400 a month just to get entertainment that is restricted, crammed with ads etc.

everything going digital is just these companies plan to make the money back they have been losing for the past 10-12 years

all u dudes are eating it up too

there is no reason why video games on cd's can't last another 10 years

the only reaosn they won't is because these companies can fukk your shyt up in 10 diff ways if all their shyt is digital.

 

[BlvdBrawler]

I think it's a shyt plan. Not every gamer has a decent internet. Until then they can't just jump straight into digital downloads of games.

They'd be chopping down a good amount of potential customers.

This.

The majority of Americans don't have high-speed internet yet. Going full-download would only serve to limit the audience that game developers can cater to.

but

if they can get half the gamers to pay double the price for product plus milk them on monthly fees etc. then they will still be fine

 

[The_Sheff]

Most of us were saying the next generation of consoles would not be all digital because they would be missing out on a shyt ton of customers. Not everyone has broadband or is willing to purchase digital items.

There is a big difference between downloading a 1.99 app or song and downloading a 60 dollar game. After the debacle of the RROD and YLOD you think im gonna put my gaming library at the mercy of Sony or MS? MS already taking games off of the XBL market so if you had a copy and it got fukked up you have no way of getting that game again.

I suppose that's true.

 

[daze23]

but

if they can get half the gamers to pay double the price for product plus milk them on monthly fees etc. then they will still be fine

they can keep the price the same but make way more profit since they don't have to manufacture and distribute a physical product

and as far as losing customers, they already think they're losing lots of money because of piracy

I know some gamers that are on some Century Link shyt with DSL or on wifi with basic internet.

Those guys would be getting screwed. What about honest consumers who don't care about buying games online preferring physical copies? They just gonna shyt on them too?

Two things...

1.) So they are not doing this now with physical copies? And isn't digital downloads like STEAM the leading way people on PC's get games? And the prices, they about half the price of there physical counterparts.

2.) You could of saved some bandwidth by just posting this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f3/Tin_foil_hat_2.jpg

This guy again Look retard, this isn't about the majority of americans. Its about gamers. The majority of gamers have high speed interent. How do you have a next gen system and no internet?
See, your logic is flawed. These 3rd world americans you speak of are not thinking about a xbox720. The iPhone isn't worried about if some kid in a ghetto somewhere can't afford it. Sony dropped the ps4 at $600
You think they was thinking about this group of imaginary people you talking about? See, you guys don't want the future to come, so you make up bullshyt and call it fact. Fact is this stuff isn't catered to the poor.
And as these devices become more and more hi-tech? Internet access has already been a must for close to a decade now. fukk outta here if you think we not gonna move forward anymore. shyt, you can download pretty much every game NOW. Most games hit retail, then the digital copies become available months later. This is on Xbox/ps3 TODAY.
Then I just posted how EA says that what, 67% of all there game sales is via Digital Distribution and that tells it all.

Or you can listen to BlvdBrawler

No, there is no difference downloading a $2 song or a $60 game.
You still need a credit card. Thats it. Only difference is $58
You seem like you are afraid to spend that type of money. Sounds like a personal problem to me

 

[BlvdBrawler]

This guy again Look retard, this isn't about the majority of americans. Its about gamers.

So you're saying Microsoft / Sony / Nintendo's business plan is not to have one of their consoles in the majority of American homes?

Interesting.

They should hire you and do the exact opposite of whatever you recommend.

FYI, you should google "business plan" before you regurgitate your next response.

LOL at there being no difference between a digital purchase of 2 dollars and 60.

Your whole post is pretty much the exact opposite of what a smart business would take into account.

The Wii sold the most consoles this gen by far. But when you compare digital download sales they are in dead ass last. You thikn Sony and MS dont see that?

 

[daze23]

I know some gamers that are on some Century Link shyt with DSL or on wifi with basic internet.

how are they getting "screwed". it'll take them longer to d/l, but that's it. the xbox already has that feature where you can d/l while it's in a low-power mode. just start the d/l when you go to work/school/sleep, and it'll be done when you're finished. plus you can let people 'pre-load' the game, and just unlock it at the release date. that's how Steam is

What about honest consumers who don't care about buying games online preferring physical copies? They just gonna shyt on them too?

they'll have to evolve or die

Bruh, shut the fukk up. I been doing this for years. Everything I say becomes true. Dumbasses like yourself will always be here to say no. But your not using logic. Your basing everything off of your own current situation. Thats not what a business model would be based off of faggit

Xbox in particular will be in everybodies homes because its going to be a cable box. It will have DVR built into it. All the cable companies have already signed on. The amount of content is already big on xbox. It only gets bigger each dashboard update. Kinect 2 will bring in the nintendo family crowd. Thats what the next xbox is bringing to the table.
You think somebody who can't afford internet is gonna derail progress?
You talking like if these broke ass muthafukkaz are the majority of gamers out there?
How many people do you really know w/a console and no internet?
See what I'm saying here, your talking about the majority of americans.
Well how many people are there in America?
How many consoles are out there? Then realize your talking out your ass
The business model is to move to digital and save big bread on there end.
I'm not making this up, this is well known information. So basically your just whining like a bytch

I mean, if we wasn't steamrolling towards DD, then you could talk this bullshyt
You been talking this bullshyt for years now. We already in the future, I already won
But feel free to carry on like a scorned dumbass...

I havent been keeping up but it seems like this Cockmeat guy is Courtdog. Is that true?
