now with xbox one making you install all games i guess that solves the issue and you can resell the game eventually.

but bright side is i was reading that they are going to start pricing digital downloads cheaper than hard copies of games. i mean it makes sense since there is no actual materials being purchased (i.e. case, manuals, discs) and also you do not have ane trade in/sell ability. well i read microsoft is doing this with xbox not sure if sony has plans on this.

i have mentioned i have issues right?

Yeah but the download time in addition to the install time just makes it worse. Unless you start downloading at midnight and don't play till the next day, buying a physical disc will probably be the quicker way to play.

I've played Xbox before, but never owned one. Don't plan on getting one either anytime soon.

IIRC Madden was like a 20+ GB download and it took me a couple hours to download. I was able to play like a demo version of the game in that time though.
