For a couple of weeks, I read that some sport games will come without booklets. The gamer can download for free, in the language he wants.

Well, I can understand that this practice helps to safe money and our environment is thankful. But what about the nostalgic part of gaming.

Since I am collecting games back in 1989, there were always booklet. Now I should download, from my "laser - black/white" printer? That is not the same; hope this mentality will stay with the sport games. Should one day RPG-Booklets be only "downloadable"…Jebus, doomsday is near…

Now, the article attention is more for the arcade games.
Just download and play - from Xbox online shop or PSN. But wait, what about the game-collectors? I mean the "alte Schule" as I am? The pleasure to open up the case, read and see the beautiful pictures from the booklet and insert the game into the console - always a special moment, special when you waited years for it. Now we just press start and can play after the download.

My hall of games is suddenly no more "complete". One part is in my safe, the other in my hard disk. Was always proud when people saw my collection and said: You played all of them? Of course, but did not finished some of them. Then I should add: there is much more, but you can not see……sad sad

Last thought: at the moment we can always download our games that we paid for in the online shop. But, how is the situation in 10 or 20 years. If one of the shops does not more exist, and your old hard disk is damaged - but you want to play Limbo again?!?
