User blog comment:Jarad Craig/CD's? Why?/@comment-3056215-20110823025635

In my gaming world it seems that CD's are fast becoming a thing of the past (I'm a PC gamer) as Steam, now EA's Origin and cloud services become more and more popular. Getting rid of CD's and offering Downloadable content saves developers money in shipping, storage, manufacturing, etc. while they are able to charge the same price. I actually like having the CD (and yes like @Calebddd mentions put it back in the jewel case to protect it) because I essentially don't trust the services to always support my games that I've spent my money on. With Ninetendo the circumstances are probably different, especially if ppl don't connect their Wii to the internet. If they can overcome that you can say goodbye to CD's here too.
