 Ar> I suspect you are pisedby the Sony fiasco?

I've seen posts online about that recently, and while I generally agree that it's good to have a physical copy, I also found the argument interesting because I'm primarily a PC gamer, and PCs have been using digital downloadable copies of games for a very long time (i.e., via Steam).  Generally too, software for PCs has been acquired by downloading files for decades, although often, it's fairly easy for someone with a PC to keep the files and back them up for as long as they want, unless the source of the software implements DRM preventing that.
