Looks like PS3 is leading the way.
We already have the following full games,
- Warhawk
- GT5 Prologue
- Siren:Blood Curse.
Very soon PSN wil get:
- Ratchet And Clank Quest For Booty
- Burnout Paradise
Burnout Paradise is coming for the bargain price of $29.99. How cool is that??? who cares about 360 installs, when you can simply download the full game, including latest patches, play it from the PS3 hdd, for a digital distribution price!!

I would imagine GameStop and the other highstreet retailers who have been ripping people off for years are a bit upset about this, but it's great news for consumers, and sure to be a growing trend, where there are less middlemen and no media distribution costs.
I doubt we will see all game heading this way, as things like MGS4 are simply too big and better suited to Blu-ray, but the smaller games, in particular multi-platform where the HDD-less 360 has to be catered for, PSN digital distribution sounds pretty neat.
