Disc be gone! If you haven’t picked up Skyrim on Xbox 360, the game is now available on Xbox LIVE as a Games on Demand title.

Can you feel it, Gamestop? Your impending doom? If not now, then soon.
Thats great! However I hope you guys keep it priced equally with retail when you eventually have a price drop. Lots of downloadable game are neglected and are priced over there current retail price.
I wish you guys did this on day 1.
On this day, retail gaming goes to Sovngarde.
Holy crap does Bethesda have a raging hard-on for the XBox or what?
Gamestop will never go away they will just sell code for dl game instead of discs
You guys are saying this as though it is a good thing. Sure, Gamestop sucks but this direction that gaming has taken ever since DRM became acceptable is exclusively detrimental for gamers. If things continue this way who knows what other product we’ll end up merely purchasing the “rights of use” for? Maybe cars? Doesn’t that sound great? Then you can’t sell yours anymore but hey, it’s rightfully the producer’s product anyway and not yours, right?
If you think I was saying this is a good thing, you missed the point of my post
Except you can’t digitally download a car.
I know Skyrim is amazing. But a lot less people will be buying Skyrin on Demand from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for £50, when you can buy it for about £20 in-store.
and for even cheaper or the same price online.
The secret to having a successful console:
1) Copy how PC gaming works as best as you can.
2) Charge for features that are free (and better) on their original platform.
3) Bribe developers to delay and cancel content for PC and PS3.
4) ???
5) Profit!
Jamás pagaría por una descarga digital la misma cantidad que por un disco físico…
