EA is going 100% digital....

[Sigona]

Cool. When my parents were kids, they had cartridges and would blow into them to fix them, my generation of gaming uses discs, my children's generation of gaming will have to download the games to the console. What can possibly come next?

EA is gonna start raping with the early release sales.

get it 1 week early and avoid clogged servers.

Bring your hard drive to your friends house and you have all your games......

Bring your hard drive to your friends house and you have all your games......

When is the last time you took out your HDD from your PS3 or Xbox? Well, in your case, just Xbox because you never actually turn on your PS3.

The older style 360's weren't mad because you just pulled them off the side. The slim models? Not so much.

Because ipod docks is the standard in all vehicles, you missed the point anyway goof. Its about options.

Vehicle? What is a vehicle? I take the train.

But you missed the point goof. "They" aren't doing away with physical media, "we" are. The software devs are just catching up.

I have been a part of all these generations....

Yea EA lets go all digital. Might as well just be computer gamers too huh EA, and then since i dont want to upgrade my computer often enough go ahead and lose my business EA.

I dont know when these game developers are gonna understand Console gamers are a different breed. We want a phsical copy because to us its an investment, and when you put out a game like elite 13 and we but it, not being able to sell it meens we get zero out of your games. Fuck EA theres nothing like being a kid opening a game on christmas and popping it in even before you open any more presesnts

Really? Easier than taking a game somewhere? Not to mention that in order to play XBLA games on another console you need to recover your GT the last I tried, and it took fucking forever. I would hope that's better now with cloud saving. But what if your friend doesn't have Live Gold? Does that still work?

I wonder what percentage of players does the shit that twigg does.

[spiker]

Don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet, but you all should expect some sort of DRM and required full time internet connectivity too. That is the inevitable phase 2 of this project.

I would bet more than not.

Another great point. We all know how much PC gamers looooooooooove that shit. Assassin's Creed? Diablo anyone? Yup, this sounds better by the day! Bring on the full digital era!

I have no problem with paying full price for a new game.

I do have a problem with a company cutting out millions in overhead (not just the discs but the shipping costs, game cases, cover art, in store promotional items, etc.) and passing none of that along to the consumer.

[MrBill]

I would like the digital era more if it wasn't forced upon us. I download plenty of games now but there are some, like Madden and BF3, that I want to have a physical copy of to take to a friends house on occasion. To make me fully support it, there would need to either be a reduction in the cost of the game ($10-$15 maybe?) along with the option to still order a disc or allow you to burn your own backup from the download (which will never happen).
