I don't download and I wont buy DRM games.

99% of games are not worth being downloaded. 100% of games are not worth £40.

I've saved over a grand on not up grading my PC as the games I really really want to buy 'at full price' are full of DRM dial home log in crap.

Bargin ps3 games are all i'll buy these days.

SecuROM is malware by any other name. stuff like that.

Edit: and piss on windows live.

Edit2: and find a DS game that doesn't suck beyond belief.

Edit3: some games maybe worth £40; but 6 weeks later they cost £30?

I think £40 is a bargain for Batman

I must have spent well over 20 hours on that before my BluRay packed up, £2 an hour is a fucking bargain

In fact most of the games I buy last me well over 20 hours, LBP, Tekken, Star Wars Force Unleashed, Ratchet and Clank. I think the £40 mark is sound, especially as that usually means £30 off Play

I want to get it for the PC. Would have upgraded the whole system..

needs windows live account. No thanks.

Its £25 on the PC. but it comes with all the DRM windows live install / login problems.

you don't actually need to connect to windows live, you can create an offline account and still play the game

It’s more a principle

Any online activation = no
Any DRM software checking installation = no

I paid for the software, I shall not be treated as a criminal. Criminals download the software without any on-line activation and or DRM software and typically have a better experience because of it.

I’ve taken my money elsewhere. rather a lot of it. I'm shocked I used to spend that much.

Have been meaning to buy World of Goo as it is drm free; but I don’t spend that much time using the PC for non-work stuff.

About 10 hours into Borderlands, loving this so far, got Tekken 6 coming up this weekend, Modern Warfare 2 will pretty much end what's left of me social life lol

In my opinion (and I realise you don't share it and that's ok)

COD4 and COD:WAW have been easily worth their price tag. I have had literally days of play from them. Comparing this to the price of a cinema ticket or a new hard back book or a nice meal or a DVD etc., then I think you get great value for money.

Many games do suck though.
