In general I stay away from the download services, but someone was asking me a question about one and I didn't have an answer so I thought I'd start a thread here. The general info most relevant seems to be how often you can d/l and whether you can resell the title. I'll start the list and if those that have used others add more I'll update it.



Service Unlimited Downloads? Able to resell?

Steam. Yes. No
Impulse. Yes. No
Matrix/DR. No. Yes

 
You might add a column for backup -- Digital River downloads can be backed up manually so you don't need to pay for their sleazy "download insurance".

Service Unlimited Downloads? Able to backup to DVD / second HD? Able to resell?

---------- DL, Bup, Sell
Steam. Yes. Yes, No
Impulse. Yes.-???-, No
Matrix/DR. No. Yes, Yes
 
that's interesting...I didn't realize some didn't even allow you to make a backup. who the hell would buy something without the ability to move it to another computer or save it if you wipe or change your hard drive.
