Re: UMD's or Digital Download's?

I personally love the UMD's i think it was a wonderful idea and they should continue to use it (eg make moremovie umd) i like having a collection i can look at and not just some data, game are really cheap and DD seems kinda of expsenive (Paparap the rapper is 9.99$ while in the psn it was like 22$? **bleep**?) being able to play import games is fun also (there are alot of great games not avaiable in the U.S), I never understood why people say umd cause slow load time? idk it just might be me but waiting a couple second to play my gameis fine with me. really easy to carry (i hate how some people say umd are like bricks to carry around i think its stupid and lazy to people who say that)

 

Now as for DD i think its a wonderful idea but only as an alternative its easy to store(memory Stick/psp itself go only), can be backup to a computer (just incase something gets cerrupted or something), but then there is going ot be a time when sony will move on to another handheld and forget about DD you never know, they arent going to be releasing "All" of the Psp library (different people have different taste in games, what might be like you may not be like by some) not being able to get a refund (idk i like getting hands on with a game before i buy it i NEVER trust reviews some gaming sites/magazine) maybe if they made a demo for most or all its upcomming games that would be nice.

 

Just my thoughts i like both but with the Go! only being DD only i really dont like it seeing as how i will not be able to get some games i like on it, plus import games, and maybe my movie UMD's

Re: UMD's or Digital Download's?

UMD's kick butt. First of all with UMD's I don't have to worry about it saying DATA CORRUPTED after I've already PAID for a GAME. Second I feel like I'm adding to my game collection when I buy a UMD. I buying a digital game is good and all but I like the UMD's better.

Re: UMD's or Digital Download's?

Preferably UMD for full games.  I'll take digital downloaded games for simpler, smaller, good games.
Just like life, video games has those moments when everything is a breeze and then there are those moments where everything seems impossible. However, there is always a way to get through those seemingly impossible tasks.

Re: UMD's or Digital Download's?

both are nice

 

edit:

 

but if/when sony decides to ditch the umds the way to solve peoples issues with boxes and stuff is still sell the boxes but instead of finding a umd inside it will be a voucher

Re: UMD's or Digital Download's?

Well about UMD or digital. Well I prefer UMD because you know that you paid for it and have a receipt and as for digital download its unsafe. For example, what if you buy the game and the game didnt get to finish downloading what then, does that mean that he/she just wasted $??.?? for it. Also this psp go I would buy it if it let me download the games i have on a umd already for free. For example they may have like a code that you need confirming you have the game then it let you download it for free, something like that. Well I know my statements contradicts but about the digital download it is just a what if situation and is a possibility that might happen.
