i for one am saddened by the idea that there eventually won't be game "box art"
hopefully though, they'll continue to produce the graphics, similar to album covers on itunes

Great Blog Lantos!
It seems not a difficult mindgame: the old media versus the digital media. Where will it end? But I do not think digital media will quickly take over the role of the old media. The most people still prefer a physical object rather than a download. For the game distributors it's cheaper to sell digital downloads with an unlimited stock, but for the gamers, movie or music lovers it isn't a better alternative! And it's that last group who decides the market. If people still massively prefer to buy a cd/dvd, a booklet, a box rather than a download it won't change. Eventually the old media has to make place for a new type of distribution (games keep growing gigs) but will they be totally replaced by digital downloads? I guess not in this age, the industry is generating too much money! Plastic for the boxes, paper for the booklets, ink for the art, etc. Why abandon a gold mine for a coal mine, if they can perfectly run smoothly side by side?
