    The sad part is that digital downloads might end up costing us more than retail thanks to

    - Impending bandwidth caps with overage charges
    - Overpriced proprietary storage (At least on the 360)
    - Downloadable versions cost the same as retail
    - Nickel and dime bullshit DLC that should have been in the game to begin with

    Not to mention other stuff like developers switching to the "Release now, patch later" system since patches will be easier to distribute. But at least we won't have to get our fat asses off the couch.
