I think Sony should focus on the games, and forget the gimmicks. What they need is the same type of variety in the PS3's library that they did in the PS2's library. So far they've been doing a lagluster job at that. Not to say the PS3's library is bad, but it's lacking when you think about where it should be. It's especially lacking when you compare it to the PS2's library at this same time of it's life.
I do that myself. But more so with full (disk worthy) games (or what some companies want to do).
Smaller games or PS1 downloads, I'm fine with. Sony's pretty good with their downloading policy. When you buy it, it's tied to your PSN ID. So you can redownload it as many times as you want if you have to delete it.

My worry is bout ten years from now. I'm still playing my 21 year old NES, and NES games, so in the long run, I want to know if the games I buy will last me. I'm not the type to re-buy games I've already bought (I don't sell my gamesor systems, and never will), and want my games to last a long time. That's my only worry about DL games. However for the prices, some of them are mighty enticing.
Well, as long as you keep your console. I'm pretty sure your hard drive isn't going to die ten years from now. I also don't think PSN's going to die ten years from now either. PS2 is still going after all.
But yeah, you don't rebuy games on PSN. Believe me, I was paranoid as well:P
I've had bad luck with hard drives in my time, so I'm always worried about them failing on me (again), and don't fully trust them. However, for the prices, R-Type Delta's yummy gooey Shmup goodness will soon be mine. $6 is a steal. I guess I also have Pain on my PS3 (I got a voucher fro a free download when I bought my PS3). It's OK, but I'm glad I got it for free. It always seems to have a ton of updates every time I play it. I spend more time updating it than playing it.
[QUOTE="DookieCakes"]I'm too much of a materialist to like downloadable games. I keep my systems for decades, and I don't trust hard drives to keep that long. However, there are some PS1 classic titles that are really enticing to me. R-Type Delta being one of them, because buying the original PS1 disk is $50 minimum. There are also a few more like the Spyro series, and some others who have been jacked up in price for the real disk, but are priced very good on PSN. Denji

I liked MAG just fine. It's not my favorite game ever, but it's fun enough. It'll never be my number 1 for online, but it's a good back up game to play when you get tired of playing the main ones. It's like Call of Duty: Bad Company. I like it better than a meh, it's just not going to be spectacular IMO. Of course, what do I know, I still play Confrontation more than I do any other PS3 game online.
