Digital things are pretty nice, it's pretty neat that you can access the games from any computer and install them on anyone's computer. Like my brother for instance out on the other side of the country could play some of my Telltale games if he wanted to, he could just use my username and password to download and install them. There is supposedly a limit with Telltale games but they say it's so high you'd likely never encounter it, it's just there to help prevent piracy in the thousands of people.
On the other hand I have no idea how it would work if the company ever went under and I didn't have any back-up copies. But according to them it is totally okay to make back-up copies on discs and you can even get manual installation codes if you email them, so even if a nuclear apocalypse happened, if you put enough pre-planning into it you could play Sam and Max episodes. Plus even if they went out of business it seems like whoever bought them out would cover the older copies, maybe. There are pros and cons to digital versus hardcopy, you could argue either way, really.

I love amazon.com. This last year I have found a lot of hardcover books that you cannot find any where else, sometimes for as little as two dollars. They are almost always in like new condition as well. I have rounded out my Sara Douglass, David B. Coe, and David Drake collections with amazon. It is also a good place to find hard to find dvd collections and they are usually much cheaper than what you would pay at Best Buy or even Wall Mart. I love amazon.com.

For international Shopping i consistently buy my stuff in 3 places
focalprice.com dealextreme.com dinodirect.com They are all quite great for cheap junk and i never had a problem with it (but i rather use a Paypal account just in case) I also use Ebay quite a lot for small trickets and gifts (I mean, I got for my mom a genuine Silk Saree from india for $20. that's fantastic). From time to time i check steam but i have so little time and my PC is just about 10 years old, so i always wait a little more. |
