Media - Digital or Physical?

I'm sure that, even when the online support for the PS3 and 360 disappears, the games purchased online will just become yours to do what you want with. If not, the backlash would likely be insane. Besides, what is there for Sony to lose should they give you all those games you got via PS+ once their support goes down? Nothing financially. If and when they do decide to shut down the servers, then it's because the service is no longer viable from a financial standpoint and there's not really any other way for them to continue to squeeze money from you once that's happened.

Or they could charge an 'unlock' fee, to squeeze one final drop of milk from the cash cow.

That is my assumption wiggy. My issue is what happens if your hard drive goes later on? Once the server goes offline if you ever lose your downloads for some reason there will be no way to replace them.

Hopefully by the time that happens, the PS3/Xbox 360 will be old enough that we will have some type of Everdrive/USB Mod that will allow us to play any game that we can download from the internet.
