I, actually, still have a DVD drive in my computer because I don't entirely trust the Blu-Ray format. >_< Besides, do you really want to spend $50-90 on a buggy/crappy game with computer destroying DRM for the sheer 'joy' of 'experiencing it on Blu-Ray'? I'll stick with the DRM-free classics in my (physical/GOG/Steam) collection(s), thank you very much. ^_^ Signed, Warewolf who can only imagine what the next 'technological marvel' will be. What could possibly upstage: - Region Locks on consoles/software? - Reselling 'missing features' as DLC? - Microtransactions for every item/spell, ally and stage/round/dungeon level in a game? *shakes his fist at the Trackmania series*
