You're right, I just buy a lot of used media (books, cds) and its annoying to me how game makers seem to have combined some of the worst distribution features together. But yeah, demos, patches, mods, small indie games, the PC has a lot of advantages. Plus I like the scalable hardware. I like building a new system and going back and playing older games with everything cranked up, I like waiting a couple years after a console release and then building a more powerful PC for the same price as the console. I guess the theme is, I'm cheap.

I like to call it frugal, but yeah, I'm cheap too and like to buy/sell/trade games to get the most content for the least amount of money.
