the movie industry saying the same thing about rental shops when they first came out. They ended up dropping the price of videotapes (Yes, I'm old. Deal.) from $50 to $19.95.

Awfully defensive, aren't you? The main post asked why, I answered it. There was no judgement either way in my post. Are you a mind reader? Or are you projecting?
stupid enough to buy games that you have no intention of playing immediately? That'd be as stupid as saving downloaded porn that you're never going to look at again...Ohhhhhhh! I get it now. Never mind.

well, "free downloads to coincide with their in-store releases." pretty much makes your post pointless.

No. It's just a coincidence that all the previous posts that mentioned it spelled it that way.
Heh, I'm in Michigan, what do I know about ferrys? I stand by the point of my post, though.

You've got some big ears, if you heard sounds with wavelengths of 500 million light-years.
Cows and horses have 2 legs, also...
Heh, yeah, the post was basically an excuse for the porn joke.

"Grandma, why'd you buy that? You'll never use it."
"But it was on sale! I saved 50 cents!"
I'd just shake my head and back away slowly.
