The more, the better - remember, there are quite a lot of games that retail for $20 and still offer more gameplay time than your average full-price title.

It depends on what kind of gameplay I get, really, but I wouldn't complain if it was somewhere between 6 and 10 hours.

2. Now that online payment and downloadable content is here to stay, how happy are you to buy your games this way in future?
Not very happy about it, but I will do it if the game in question is good enough.

3. If an alternative format (CD, say) was offered for an additional charge, would you prefer this?
Definitely (and whenever possible, I do this today).

4. If you downloaded a game to play, how big would the download be before it put you off downloading it?
1 GB or so, with my current connection.
Quote:
5. Does the size of the download depend on the style of the game in any way?
I don't know.

6. Have any of you downloaded and paid for games in other genres?
Yes.

7. Have any of you downloaded any "casual" games?
Yes.

8. Have you any other thoughts on downloading games?
I want to "own" the game when I've bought it. I want to pay for it, and then be able to do whatever I want with it - including burning it to a CD and installing it on a computer without access to the Internet.

And I want to repeat that I'd really, really like a CD-version. Preferably boxed in a DVD case or something. Like for instance Moonpod and Nurium offer with their games. A printed manual isn't a "must", but I would appreciate it.

Thanks for your time.
No problems, I'm waiting for the TrackMania Original Beta to download.
