    Can I burn those dumps to a CD and play in on my SEGA?

    ? What ?

    Just FYI. There is Media Go for PC that lets you freely dl and backup all PSP PSN purchases on your PC. Actually the latest version is great as you don't need your PSP pluged in to make a purchase and download it. It just downloads to your PC automatically which later you can plug in your PSP then transfer it to your PSP. At the same time the software will automatically make a backup on your PC.

    Again i just used PSPGo as an example, because it doesn't have a physical media.

    What i mean is that at the same time they sell us that digital distribution as the next great thing (something i disagree), they do have the control over it. It's up to them to decide if they'll let us make backups or not. It's up to them to decide if they remove a game or not. It's up to them to decide how long the service will be avaiable.

    Here's a perfect reason why digital media is pants that no one can argue with. I bought hydrophobia from Xbox Arcade and it's not very good to be honest. Now, if this was real media I could sell it on but since it's only data I'm stuck with it and wasted me cash. That is just one of the many down points to digital media.

    Yep, this was one of the topics i didn't even bother mentioning. Selling and trading is impossible with digital downloads.

    And again, it's up to them to decide if this will be something possible in the future. With physical media, we decide it.
