It’s inevital that on-line sales are going to a growing share of the market, but I agree that there will remain a role for retail distribution. One of the things retailers have going for them is that most have a very small footprint relative to sales volume, so the economics aren’t as tough as in some other categories.

I, for one, like to display my physical movies and games for all that enter my dwelling to look at and admire. One looks and sounds like more of a douche when you go, “hey guys, come look at all my my game downloads, as they wait for you to access whatever storage media to display pages upon pages of downloads….woo freaking hoo”….I’m just saying. Plus, like the article mentions I like to be able to trade in the games that I would never play again. Maybe this is an old school gamer thing, but whatever. Go Marlins!!!!

Sorry to disagree, but unless they were connecting to actual OnLive datacenters, and not local hardware, there still hasn’t been an actual test of the system. Well, at least not a meaningful one.

Actually Onlive has shown to work at the E3 convention. It wasn’t at the actual convention but it was at a building nearby. Everyone who went there came away amazed.
