	I'm simply too lazy these days to update and constantly work on a gaming PC.

	Microsoft will probably give GameStop some sort of incentive to continue supporting them. GameStop still moves a lot of merchandise for the console manufacturers. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they used a similar methodology to some current-gen games in which a code can be purchased to permit used games to be played as though they were new. These will likely be sold at a slight discount (say, $10 off) compared to the cost of a new game. -b0b (...could be wrong.)

	I wonder if the consoles would get on a system like Steam and get rid of physical copies. Then each system could support older games without as much effort (from what little I understand about how backwards compatibility works). X

	The only way the consoles could go to a Steam system is if they could convince the publishers to offer HUGE discounts like Steam does so often on their games. I'm sorry but I refuse to pay 60 dollars for a game I basically don't own. But I will pay 12....

	It definitely is a trade off. On one hand, a company could stop offering the game based on a whim or bankruptcy. On the other hand...if your disc breaks...that's an expensive replacement made of aluminum and plastic. X

	This would be a difficult model to pursue for consoles. Consoles have more longevity compared to a PC because the console is custom-built solely for gaming. Also, console developers often tweak their titles specifically for the console hardware. This would make a Steam-like model difficult because backward compatibility would be very difficult between console generations. That said, Valve has been semi-secretly working on the SteamBox, which looks like it will be a pared-down PC built specifically for TV gaming. If they really do keep the PC architecture and they can hit a low price-point, they might be able to create a new type of console market that upgrades more frequently for a lower price. -b0b (...can't wait to see how that'll work out.)

	I just saw that Final Fantasy VII was released on Steam. Now, if we can Final Fantasy VI, IX, X, and XII, I can die a happy man! -b0b (...won't hold his breath on IX.)

	Oh, and rumor has it the Steam Summer Sale might start today. Interestingly, "Mystery" trading cards started dropping yesterday afternoon whenever a game badge is completed. I grabbed 12 of them last night, as I assume they'll be part of the Summer Sale: -b0b (...wonders if a hat will be available for top prize?)

	I've got a couple Steam keys from the latest Humble Bundle for some old-school RPGs I already own. Let me know if you want them: Avadon: The Black Fortress Avernum: Escape from the Pit Nethergate: Resurrection -b0b (...schwing!)
