360 games on demmand

Its great that game companies are starting to realize that the digital distribution era is just starting and im glad Microsoft is at least attempting it with their new games on demand service that lets you buy download and install full titles to your box, the only problem i for see is that each Xbox 360 is at LEAST 6 gigs, up to 10 gigs, and curently the biggest storage solution for the 360 is 120 gigs, plus the fact that we can now install games, so the problem is you only have room for 12 games at a time, thats with no music, photos, video, saved games or avatars. what Microsoft needs to do is offer a new form of member ship a Platinum membership, for 100 a year instead of 60, have your own personal online storage, avg. xbox live server they should be able to give users at least an additional 200 gigs of storage, this will add incentive to stay on line because if you dont pay your membership your games stored online, will be locked for atleast a year then deleted.

i have too speak from an economical stand point honestly 200 gigs= 20 games *60$ each=$1200 of games is more than enough insentive to pay an extra 40 a year for a membership even because if you accidently earase your harddrive you wont need to redownload,i atleast give microsoft credit for trying after all they started this generation to early and they had no idea how fast users would be filling up their 20 gig hard drives, also i said the BIGGEST storage solution is 120 gigs, i did not say it was common, and get ready because the Next gen of gaming in 2011 will be mostly only digital, which means no thousands of disk need to be created which means, games will start going down in price, which is good for everyone, as for gamestores, if you sell your games back to them they rip you off so badly its just not worth it if you think your going to get sick of a game save your money and rent.

i sure hope it doesnt come down to ONLY Digital download games. The PSPGO is the first step towards disaster in my opinion. Myself and MANY other people like to RENT games from blockbuster, sell games and buy games at places like Gamestop, and sometimes borrow games from friends. If a game is digital download only, then you can't do ANY of those. I like having the option to download a game that is hard to find in disc form, but I dont want to be forced into paying $50 for a digital version of a game. I like getting used games for much cheaper, or renting a game for $8 and then finding out it sucks. but in the future, companies like MS and Sony might only give us the digital download option for games, but I sure hope not anytime soon.

In the digitaly distributed generation renting downloadable games would be enevitable, i also believe gamesharing would soon be an option, also if game manufactures no longer have to worry about producing and burning a million DVD's or Bluray disk it would be much cheaper maybe 35 for new releases,

also an idea that i had may be the cure a new feature called download buffer, basically just like a video is a couple of kb's on your computer and the rest is streamed online, a buffer would cost about $10 less, you wont have to worry about updates cause it will be automatic, and a 10 gig game would only have a buffer size of 256Mb's saving a ton of space, allowing people to have their games at a lower price, and having an option to upgrade to the full version latter. only problem is if theirs a day you dont have internet is a day you dont have the games you have buffers for.

what do you think

cough
