The last thing I need is more crap around the house. I vastly prefer digital, as long as I get the files and can do anything I want with them.

I am opposed to DRM, but digital itself is far preferable. When I travel knowing I can grab any game I want from my server (before or even after I arrive) and play it on any device I want is far superior to having to carry around physical items that only work with one device - a device I also would have to bring with me.

The problem is people already gave in when they choose a system that is useless for anything except one specific purpose and one specific game format.

Your last sentence fits perfectly about their hardware.
