I agree.
 
there is nothing like walking into a shop and buying a physical product, getting it home and playing it.
 
I recently got a ps3 and a copy of Infamous 2. In it came a code allowing me to get the first Infamous and a reduced cost through download. Great I thought until I noticed the game is 7.8gb in size. Thats 7.8gb of bandwidth allowance that my ISP is gonna take off my "unlimited" (which I have just found is actually 250gb under their fair usage policy. After which they will impose restrictions on my line up to and including cutting my my line completely) allowance. Now if I had got that game from Game in the first place i would have probably paid the same for a new copy and not needed to bother with downloads.

Dear Customer,
 This email is to advise you that last month you  exceeded the usage allowance for your BT Total Broadband Option 1 service.
 Your current monthly usage allowance is 10GB.
 Your total usage for last month was 12GB.
 Additional usage is charged in units of 5GB, at £5  per 5GB. Based on your usage last month a charge of £5 will be applied to your  next bill.
 Great news! To help you keep track of your usage we  provide a usage monitor which shows on a daily basis, how much of your allowance  you have used and how much is remaining. To access the usage monitor you will  need the log-in details for your online account. If you haven't set one up then  you can register at www.bt.com/mybt  or if you already have an online account click  here to access the usage monitor.
 To avoid usage charges, you can always upgrade to  one of our broadband products with a higher usage allowance or go for unlimited  usage. To find out about your options and to upgrade, please go to click here or call 0800 707 6044, available 8am-9pm on  weekdays and 9am-6pm during the weekend.

Hmmm...I must be on a crappy deal then!
That was my sister who pushed it over 10GB when she came over before Christmas on youtube and what not.  First time ever it went over, I think my usual usage it about 6GB at most.  Yet I don't get credit for under using...
