CDs vs Digital Downloads

Your speeds don't represent the majority
At 3mb/s (which is regular broadband, not NBN), it would only take 5 hours to download a 50gb game
If your internet is THAT dogshit then you need to move out of the bush, faggot

5 hours is still ridiculously long.

It's a hell of a lot shorter than 48
queue up downloads at night and leave them going while you sleep

>3mb/sec
very few people in austaria has 3mb/sec. They have 6~8Mbps
300kbit/sec = more than 14 hours

>buy game on disk
>get home and get ready to install
>game launches Steam and starts 24hr download
fuck

I collect games so I'll buy them on disc until I'm not able to anymore. My internet sucks too though. Whenever I have to patch a game I just let it go over night

I thought that shit was a scheme to stop pirates

>>380832487

Collecting game is a meme

What's that even supposed to mean?

>>380832751
I can't tell what you're saying because you don't know the difference between b and a B. Definitely not worthy of talking about either.

>Buying digital games
>Losing all rights to resale
>Losing all rights to distribution
>Not having a physical backup automatically
>Not having an awesome physical collection to show off
>Not getting value for the resale on console sale of the games

It's like you guys hate having rights and money.

What scheme? Fast internet? if anything it helps pirates. Telstra was also pretty cool with the whole pirate bay blocking a couple of months ago by only doing a dns block and if you changed to googles dns or another you could still access it at the time.

The problem lies with government thinking we don't need good fast internet. you have the communications minister who is all like you won't use it if it is available so why offer it type of attitude along with Turnbull saying similar. Sadly because of the debacle that NBN has been government won't try and fix or make it better in the near future which is bad for us and them because we gonna need fast net withing a couple of decades or Australia will just not be relevant in the global scheme of things

I also highly recomend going with TPG if they are in your area as i had great service (aka faster speeds) with them and were cheaper then telstra and optus and iinet
