@chrisjfinlay do you remember when people moaned about lack of profiles on the Wii? "waaah, its tied to the console and not me" "my purchase doesn't feel like I own it"
Guess what?! I sold a Wii with tonnes of installed games (legit purchases) for a LOT of money because said downloads were tied to the console and not me. I felt like I moreso owned the games because I could freely sell them with my console.
And yet everyone moaned and moaned and now we are stuck with profiles.
@TheRedComet I always thought that stores should have a download station where you put in a proprietary memory card, select the game you want to purchase and it transfers the game to your memory card for installing at home for this very reason. It would allow people to enjoy the browse of a store and walk away with a download game
Thanks Miyamoto for doing something new with a series just so it doesn't become stagnant and a slight improvement over the last. I'll still reserve judgement of whether it's good or not until I've played it.
The original GameCube Animal Crossing (even with all the included NES games) would fit into the Gamecubes internal flash memory. Once the game was loaded you could in fact open the disc slot and continue playing. @Grumblebuzzz It was sloppy saves that took up the memory card 59 not the game data it's self.
For an article that points out the damage of sensational reporting is quite a sensationalising in it's self.
Erm, what console hasn't suffered with slow starts and with a lack of developed software? Was the Xbox 360 console fully operational, in terms of features, on release? Surely staggering the release of features allows early adopters to get to grips with the technology without overloading them. Constant and consistent poor reporting like this that relies on sensationalising, especially when it seems to think it's rising above it, is bad journalism. Please don't join the ranks of IGN and Gamespot in writing these unfound articles that perpetuate ideas that are pointless and fuel wild unsupported opinions. It's like the rumour that the Virtual Boy caused migraines... there is no evidence to support it so why do current "journalists" refer to it as a health hazard?

Re: Buying BioShock, Borderlands Or XCOM Physically? Expect Huge Download Requirements
Has any one of those moaning about downloading not played a game in the last 3 years? They nearly ALWAYS need a download.
I really don't get the bad attitude, you buy the physical for the box art, it has no bearing on the actual game inside that so many claim to enjoy.
Sorry guys and gals, but you is ridiculous

Nice to see creatives wanting to look after their property. Artistic integrity or pedanticity? I go for the former

Nintendo isn't really in trouble. It's just bulls**t journalism that says it is. Now stop posting such crap as if it were news.
