Gamers Becoming More Confident in Digital Purchasing

I feel for your ping. ADSL 2 urgh, I'm on Reach with Node and currently getting the full 8megabit's somewhere in the sticks 5.8km's from my exchange

Oh and I'm north of Brisbane getting 29ms ping to Sydney. Considering it took Telstra about 4 years to fix the damn line down our road I used to think 60-70ping to Brisbane was good...

Just goes to show how bad the copper is in Australia. Very very badly laid lines...

Oh and on a 200GB plan hitting the cap 9 months in 12...

Dunno man, it just happened. I'm with Internode though. I was on a reach plan for a long while, and then they finally upgraded me to a DSL2 exchange.

Oh so your exchange just got upgraded then.

Call us back and complain when you live in the middle of the city and can only get adsl 1 speeds because "there's too much line attenuation", more recently my net is just **** 3/4 of the day and rather than my glorious 150k I get 25k, LOVE trying to even open an email on that... "but there's nothing we can do **hangs up phone**"

I remember preloading HL2 on my 512kbps ADSL1 connection a week before release. I haven't looked back.

I recently bought a physical copy of Max Payne 3 for the PC because it was $20 cheaper than anywhere else. Almost took just as long to install the game from the 4 DVDs than it did to download it. With digital, I could have started the download before work, come home and started playing.

It's just easier in every way.

I prefer physical copies. Mainly cause i like to collect. But i still get caught out with steam sales quite a lot, games just get so cheap. Like the other day LA Noire $3 or something. But i resisted.
