My generation, and all those before me, aren't too willing to give up EVERY bit of physical media. I don't see full DL until maybe PS6. lol.

Especially since something like 40% of americans don't have the internet... (or something crazy high like that.)

BUT I agree with the rest. VIVA PS3!
yeah, as far as media goes, i like to actually have something i can hold that is representative of the money i spent on it, not just a file somewhere that i can just to watch or play or listen to, i dont think DL only will be in any kind of media for AT LEAST 10 years, they have to come up with a faster delivery system, and media storage has to get a lot cheaper too, the better the game and movie tech gets, the bigger the file sizes, and if we are storing games that are 25-30 GB now, think of how big they will be in a few years, my 320 GB hard drive would only hold a handful of games, there is a long way to go before its really a viable solution to go DL only
