[QUOTE="ropumar"][QUOTE="TGM_basic"]And some people still question why I'm 100% against the mere concept of download-only gaming...

that is not a problem with download only gaming since Sony fixed this issue by giving you a 5 licenses for you to share with all yours consoles. And steam has made this a non-issue when you can play and download on any PC the game as long as you log in. is more a nintendo issue than a download-only gaming one actually that does not fix the issue at all , not for movies and tv shows, so ya, im still against it and wil lalways be pc is different as they know pcs break down alot so they need that kind of specail treatment and still if the site goes down your games are gone , for goodI'm gonna have to agree with ropumar on this one, it really is more of a nintendo only issue,AND it involves an online feature who would have thunk?!
But yeah on the 360 and PS3 I never ran into this issue, simply recover your gamertag in a couple minutes or link accounts for each system respectively, and for PC simply log into steam and your good!
I expect nintendo will fix this problem and catch up when they update their online system (or redo completely) for the next gen.
As for the whole download vs hard copy debate, I have a huge library of hardcopys going back to the atari and while I've never ever had a single problem playing a dl game I've had more than I can count trying to play my oldies! I think damaging a game disc or cart is MUCH more likely to happen than your dl games servers permanetly going down so you cant re-download it, in which case you should have it already safely downloaded and stored on a console/HDD anyways! Thats my quick 2 cents on that whole issue :)
