Game Downloads... The Greatest?

More and more you see new systems coming without a CD drive and going purely digital.

Good idea?

Maybe for the game companies... but for the consumer, other than convenience of getting a game immediately... what other benefit is there for the consumer?

1, Cannot return the games very easily...
2, Once you beat the game you are stuck with it, cannot trade it in for another.
3, Cannot share with friends.
4, You still pay sales tax on an item you can never hold. (remember when electronic downloads were free of taxes??)

Personally, I would rather have a shelf of games that I actually own and can sell off or trade it when I am done with it.

Sorry... little rant this morning... 1st time I ever paid full price for a game... beat it within the month and now stuck with it. Wasted 120.00!!! Great game though! AC Valhalla... if you have not tried it... it's a blast. Easy, but a blast.
