North American retailer GameStop is not that worried about digital delivery of video games. Says its CEO Dan DeMatteo, "We don't expect full (digital) distribution of new games to be a threat due to game size" in an recent analysts call.

In a bid to cheer stockholders and analysts advising stockholders, DeMatteo also pointed out that he (and we assume his board) consider the competition from digital to be "pretty insignificant".

A Triple AAA title like Burnout: Paradise on PS3 is to go to budget directly via PlayStation network indicating Electronic Arts, at least, is putting more than a toe in the water. With this in mind, we would be inclined to say add, "at the moment" to "pretty insignificant".
