Investigation in to Downloadable goods and services

The different types of items me and my family have downloaded of the internet are software, images, music, updates for my PS3 and some PS3 games and demos.

We have done this instead of buying the physical goods is because it is easier to retrieve of the internet then it is to get in a shop, the items are never out of stock and can be downloaded multiple times whereas physical items can be out of stock and might not work, Some items are only available on the internet like the PS3 updates and PS3 games and are not available in store or will be but are not released for a while.

The downloading fulfilled its purpose as I was able to get items I would not be able to get in physical form plus it also allowed me to get items quicker then having to wait for them to be released.

The only problems I have found are that some downloads take quite a while and sometimes don’t work as you need other software to work them which can take time finding which is frustrating, also some items can contain viruses that will affect the computer making it slow or unusable.
