With the upcoming new consoles requiring 50GB or so installs do you think we might see a lot more people going back to buying physical copies of games rather than downloading? This would require a lot of us to upgrade to a blu-ray drive from DVD. I know some people don't even put drives in their computer too.
I download pretty much all my games now, but 50GB is a lot especially if you uninstall it and want to play it again at a later time. I'm sure our ISPs won't like it much either. It would be faster for me to get the physical drive and install it. I only have a 30/5 connection: that's 3.75 hours on a good day downloading a 50GB game. For some with it won't matter but for many I think it will.
So, yep.
