Study says downloading games is less green than buying from a shop!

[Trebor]

Just had to share this article on IGN as being incredibly stupid and the study cited being absolutely flawed!

Buying Games at Retail Greener than Downloading - IGN

I skimmed through it, however i don't see how you can realistically get an accurate conclusion either way.

The paper presumes a lot of things and basically admits its impossible to measure how much electricity is truly been used to provide a downloadable game.
