I’ve always found it ludicrous that digital games weren’t cheaper. Half the reason me and most other people bought a kindle is because books are cheaper (the other that it’s obviously much more compact).
That doesn’t mean I won’t support physical anymore - I love collecting for key games and for ones I’m not 100% sure so I have the option to resell.
OH MY GOD that brought back a memory. I bought an Xbox 360 in 2011 at Heathrow Airport duty free all the way in the overhead locker to New Zealand after I got married (my wife got expensive boots and I got a 360). It came with Fable and Halo.
Jet lagged I got home, plugged it into the TV, put Halo inside and turned it on. I moved the console from vertical to horizontal and it did exactly that scratch!
I never played Halo. I rang the help line and there was no replacement policy so I never, ever played any halo games in my life (even on the 2 generations after) 😂 call it the Halo trauma hahaha
I used to work in hotels and people did this with minibar items - tea in a whisky bottle, folded cardboard in chocolate wrappers. Seems like a lot of work for a small return!
Perhaps the CMA can become an advisory group on what can be done technically - clearly Microsoft & nintendo themselves are unable to know this about their own products 😂
I’m clearly the odd one out here but I say don’t do it…
Twilight Princess has been available on the last 3 consoles. Do we really need it a 4th time? Please get the devs to spend time on developing new content instead!
Played star allies demo a bunch of times / was planning to just wait for the reviews to come out but one of the stores here in NZ dropped the preorder price down so much I decided to order it! Fingers crossed it’s good - looks very fun
Apparently my top game at 291 hours is Pokémon Sun. I’ve never played Pokémon games in my life. Also it says I have no Wii u hours even though I last played tonight……
Deku deals is amazing. Absolutely love this site - look at it at least every second day. Love that I can see the same game across Xbox and switch now too.
@DennisNOR FYI call of duty isn’t on gamepass. But the value of gamepass is extremely high given I got 2 years worth for USD 70 and there are many big titles and also many indie games on there.
Whoa! Well I guess I won’t get it then - not enough value for me. I have OOT, starfox & MM on 3DS and paper Mario and a few other N64 games on Wii U. I don’t care about Sega Genesis

Re: Digital Switch 2 Games Being Cheaper Than Physical Is A "Challenge", Says Retailer GAME
