The week in gaming: hidden fees, angry collectors, and a hateful Home

January 3rd, 2009

Another year in gaming has come and gone, and it's time to forget about the highs and lows of 2008 and look forward to what's coming in the new year. For now, though, let's focus on the ten most popular gaming stories of the past seven days. 

Downloading your games? Get ready for extra fees. Gamers are finding it increasingly convenient to download their games from a number of services but, as our report points out, you have to be careful about limits on your ability to re-download your content... and the hidden fees that could extend your right to play the game you just paid for. 

Game collectors distraught over cheap digital re-releases. With rare games like Rez and Suikoden coming to the current generation systems as inexpensive downloads, collectors are beginning to complain about their games losing value. We call in expert collector Racketboy to get the final word: buy what you love and you'll never worry again.
