I started gaming in 1986 with a Sega Master System (Alex Kidd In Miracle World built-in) so that makes me pretty old.
I have gone all-digital and will never buy physical cartridges or discs again.... They have no place in this day and age.
1. They break easily or wear out after a few years.
2. Day 1 patches make physical media worthless.
3. You still have to buy digital downloaded DL C for most games.
4. If your house burns down, you can't re-download lost physical media onto a new console.
5. Old rare physical media is only worth money if you can find somebody who actually wants to buy it off you. That sealed copy of Cooking Mama Cookstar you are hoarding will never be worth more than $10 to GameStop trade-in. Even if you keep it locked in a safe for 30 years.
6. You never see a U-Haul truck following a hearse and funeral parade

Re: Burnout Paradise Remastered Speeds Onto Switch This June, But It's Pretty Pricey
@Donutman Good luck carrying that thing on the bus.
Re: Guide: Streets Of Rage 4 Secret Retro Level Locations
@carlos82 Even better with Xbox Game Pass ... Downloaded it free the second it went live.
Re: Ninjala Datamine Suggests A Sonic The Hedgehog Collab Might Be Happening
They will probably use the Sonic Boom characters to match the art style of this game.
Can't wait to see the severely retarded-looking SB Knuckles appear.
Re: The Paper Mario Lookalike Bug Fables Launches On Switch At The End Of May
Genshin Impact .... Everybody calls it an evil Zelda Clone and refuses to acknowledge it.
Bug Fables ..... Everybody loves it because it's a Paper Mario clone.
Could one of these games being Chinese have something to do with the double standards here?

@KoopaTheGamer
Problem with Stadia is paying £10 a month, just for the privilege of being able to buy very old games like Tomb Raider for £50
.... You can't even call it "buying" games though, as you never own or download the thing you are paying for.
would you pay GameStop $10 a month just to be allowed to walk inside the store and look around?
Re: Guide: Streets Of Rage 4 Secret Retro Level Locations
I remember fighting Shiva back on the Sega Megadrive after school with a friend in co-op... One of the biggest headache sub-bosses ever.
Is the Kangaroo from SoR3 in this game?
Re: Burnout Paradise Remastered Speeds Onto Switch This June, But It's Pretty Pricey
LOL... You must be bloody mental to blow £50 on this old game.
I paid £4.99 for it on Xbox One last week.

Re: Indivisible Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch, But The Developer Isn't Happy
I just bought Indivisible on Xbox One in the sales, so don't really care about the Switch version.
The physical cartridge will be worthless if there is a day 1 patch anyway.
