- I don't want to fill up my hard drive.
- I would like to be able to play it on another PS3 system.

You could, of course, hold the poll at your headquarters on a Thursday afternoon instead, when magically the results will show that the entire population is in San Mateo on Thursday afternoons.
It will save you a fortune in distribution costs.

If that's not an option, it should be physical. Digital media is a gigantic scam that benefits NO ONE other than the gigantic corporations. Like we need MORE jobs lost in this world, so Sony/MS/Nintendo can make MORE money.
Since digital media has proven to be MORE expensive than physical, what benefit is there? Filling up our hard drives faster? Seriously, it's a joke.

the other benefit is to the environment. manufacturing all that plastic is wasteful.
but, I agree with you about Sony/Nintendo/MS charging too much for content without any competition. that is the big problem in all of this for me. I dont even mind that the used game market will die out.

Even after seeing the game play before it came out I decided to buy this game day-1, hell I went to a midnight launch at my local gamestop. I admit I had my hopes a little too high up for this game but after RE4 who can blame me?
Now I hear Capcom is thinking about releasing this new version with motion controls in the near future. I'm pissed. It better be released as an update and dlc. I supported this game day-1 Capcom! don't leave me out in the cold, I will not repurchase/purchase this game or any other Capcom game if this isn't released as dlc in America.
Who agrees????

Lost alot of cool points for pulling that shit.

To be fair, Versus wasn't actually on the disc, just a lot of the resources it used.

Well to put that in perspective, people were paying a hell of a lot more than $5 for a just few megabytes of content on almost all of the cartridge based consoles.
Hence, a value assigned to content based on its digital size is fairly arbitrary.

Cheap, if not, free.

On the other hand, the miser in me wants it to be a retail product because of the flexibility offered by a physical copy -- trading, selling, lending, etc.
I am such a cheap ass.

If it's got what I want it to have: the new campaign, some actually new characters for Mercenaries/Versus (and alternate costumes of those characters), new Mercenaries/Versus levels (atleast like, four), maybe even a new versus game mode of some sort, and a few new weapons and costumes and whatnot for single player, I'll take that on a disc (and replay the whole damn thing over again and unlock everything).

But learn to drop prices on DLC. If I didn't feel like paying 10 dollars for something in 2007, I'm not suddenly changing my mind in 2009. That is one benefit of physical media. The price actually drops as it ages.

Umm . . . Good? We can start with that.

So...gimme a disc, with a side of hot Jill on Sheva action.
Chris and Wesker are desert....sweet, sweet desert.

Ahhhh.....delicious, I'm not even sure what Chris will be able to do with them. Wesker on the other hand...
Wesker- Pimping bitches since the first RE.

I really can't believe Capcom haven't thought of this. Sure, people are open to digital downloads, but I don't think everyone is ready for something of this size to put on their HDD's. Hell, think of all the 360 owners that don't even have an HDD.
Put out both, but don't just do DL only.
We're all for progress, but slow down there, Capcom buddy. Let's not get too carried away.

BRING IT ON!!!!

I agree! I don't want a digital copy of RE...what if it corrupts and Tri Cell finds me.
I can't afford medicare..

Well, sort of. It's like SS in the sense you add money from your paycheck every week into the general federal kitty, but..ah...yeah.
Ok, I'm done.

Well, err.....I STILL don't have it so there! :{
