Sony Planning Digital Distribution?
March 13, 2006
PlayStation 3 / PlayStation 2
Gameindustry.biz is reporting today that Sony is giving very serious thought to adopting a digital distribution model for games on the PlayStation 3. What this would mean is that instead of going to a brick and mortar establishment to buy games, people would simply download them instead. This may even go so far as to be a feature included in a remodeled PlayStation 2.

The extent to which this will be done is not yet known, though. Whether it will be like what Nintendo plans for the Revolution (re-releasing classic games for download), or Xbox 360 (downloading demos, and playing in Live Arcade), or being a means of downloading, or at least streaming, complete games, hasn't been determined yet.
Of course, before any of this happens, and at this point it's all just talk, Sony will also have to get their act together in terms of making viable HDDs available for their consoles. They tried once already with the PS2, and other that Final Fantasy XI, not much got released for the thing, relegating it to being a glorified memory card. |
