The UMD's time is Up.

Downloads are the way to go. Many people say download's take up to much space. They assume it's 1.8 GB but most games are in the 600-800 range and games that have a lot of things such as yu gi oh tag force 3 take up more than a GB. Downloaded games make games more portable. I'm a proud PSP owner who downloads games.

i think there is more good using UMD then digital download.

I still prefer hard copies, but I don't mind downloads. I can see the benefit of not having to travel with discs.

Yea Ill always prefer to have a box and disc than a digital copy of a game. Would make me feel like a pirate.

I wouldn't bury UMDs or physical copies yet. I prefer having my games on my shelves, feeling they are part of my personal collection. I won't download digital stuff for as long as I have an alternative. I already forsee that physical copies of games like GTA: Chinatown Wars and Tekken 6 will be collector's items among PSP owners in the future. I'm not saying UMDs are perfect, but I prefer them to files. You can't sell your digital collection, the servers will not always be active. Music downloads have been around for a long time yet people still buy CDs and records. You can also rule out limited and collector's editions in digital distribution. I think digital copies will mostly attract casual gamers, while hardcore collectors will delay the inevitable (is it?) as long as possible.

I like having a physical collection, I'll continue to buy UMDs as long as they are available. Silent-Hal

Which will be for a good long time... the PSP is just now breaking into certain world markets (believe it or not) and they will continue the sales of UMD to these countries as well as yours. This is like "The Sky Is Falling" conjecture.

Where in my initial post did I say that they wouldn't be? People are too quick to jump to conclusions sometimes.

digital download is indeed the future, but the future isent now (but it have started)

I like having physical copies of my media.drummer131

Pretty much this. Besides, you can't get cover art with a download.

There is more pros to physical (UMD) then there is to digital.

If a game isn't on UMD I forget about it. There a few digital games I would like to play... But I'm not supporting it.

I prefer to have physical copies. There are so many negative things about downloads.

I'll stick with my physical copies of every game I own, thank your very much TC.

Well, I have downloaded stuff before, but I completley disagree, I personally think UMDs are awesome. Plus, I love having the orignal box, with the instruction manual.Also, if you have a UMD, you can lend it to a friend, or borrow one of theirs, you can't do that with DDs.

Anyway, the kind of games I have downloaded off of PSN are PS1 classics and PSN exclusives. There may be a rare game that I absolutely cant find on UMD sometime that I will download, but for me, I'm sticking with UMDs whenever possible. :)
