There are 2 stories that I have picked up today that show increasing signs that DLC is becoming the standard against retail
One is the news about PSP dropping the UMD format from its next version. Read here
I for one think it makes sense, cheaper to make less moving parts and less cost for content distribution, more opportunities for episodic games.
And to reiterate past comments I think this platform (PSN) will become a serious force to be reckoned with for developers. (get in now while you can)
And the other is about Capcom saying DL is more important than retail....more here
A simple way for retail to pick up on this is offer a place where players can go try out games provide ultimate speed internet and do super fast downloads in store. The retail experience can still offer many things that online can not and well its time for retail to evolve for environmental issues and commercial.
