Default Thoughts on the new Adventure Shop

Since their forums link links to here, thought I'd see what people thought.

My initial impressions after visiting the site are that it's a pretty cool idea and probably great for people who live in places where getting adventure games can be difficult. I also very much like the fact that you can burn the game to a CD-DVD and that you can install it three times before getting locked out.

I don't like the prices at all, unfortunately. When will downloading services learn that (at least some people, including me) will not pay full retail price for a downloaded game that they can get much cheaper off of other Internet sites and retail stores! I would have downloaded Syberia if it hadn't been for $20 as I can get it locally for $10 or less. Just a thought - drop the price by five bucks under full retail and see if it makes a difference.

Of course, I realize that they may be hampered in what they can charge, but ya know?

Layout and game selection seems fine, especially as the place is just getting started.

Haven't tried downloading anything as the prices are too high for me.

Anyone else?
