My first thread in the steelbook sub section of the forum and I destroy somebody's want to collect Xbox steelbooks! XD

I'll avoid posting anymore steelbook threads from now onwards!! XD

Anyway, I agree with you on the digital content thing. I already don't support DLC and when games go completely digital, companies will no longer get any money from me and I'll be thousands of pounds better off each year!

Obviously it's not your fault at all cosmic

Clearly I'm just a dinosaur who complains

Digital is the future at some point, game ownership be damned

Will seriously think about this one

It really does echoe everything I dislike about MS stance this time round

@ Cosmic

What's wrong with DLC that's done properly?

I know most isn't, and that's a problem.

Speaking of DLC, I wonder what's happening with the content for Infinite...

Also looking forward to the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 year editions.

The only thing that is wrong with DLC is the "D". What happened to the good old days of games coming on a disk complete? What you bought was a finished product.

I just don't like the idea of spending my money on something I don't actually own and can't hold in my hands. The only Add-on content I have is on disks. I never played any of the Skyrim DLC until the legendary Ed came out a few weeks ago for example. Lol

I agree with this as you all probably know

DLC is another method to increase revenue after the first sale

IMO planned DLC is the same thing as selling me an unfinished product

But that is more acceptable as I can at least play through the story

I don't have a problem with DLC like the two add-ons for GTA IV, but there are many cases where DLC is wrong in some way.

In terms of owning it physically, it doesn't matter that much to me.

Every time I insert a disc I'm reminded of how noisy the disc drive is. It's a very serious problem for 10-15 seconds

It's nice to hear other people's perspectives

Keeps me grounded a bit more

Suppose we all have our own opinions on everything

The issue with not having DLC on a physical disk is, say the Xbox for example, years down the line, DLCs and game updates will stop beig hosted on their servers anymore and access to this content will be impossible for legitimate customers. I use the Xbox as an example as there have been various DLC removed from the XBL server. One I can think of off the top of my head is the DLC for Naruto Rise of a Ninja. The DLC for that game can no longer be downloaded. Even from your purchase history. So if your HDD packed in and you decide to get all nostalgic down the line, you'll still be able to play the original Unpatched version of a game, but DLC is a no go and if the original version is pretty much unplayable without the patch, what can you do then?

This is why I am against DLCs and other digital content which aren't available on disks. Including patches. Atleast with GOTY or complete editions, I will always be able to play the games without the worry of patches and such.
