Even the lamest flash controllers still have really good read speeds compared to mechanical drives, which is what we're talking about. And even in 2010-11 (i.e. the years running up to the Wii U's 2012 launch) it would've been difficult to put in a controller so bad that it couldn't outpace a mechanical drive. One…

They're not Blu-rays, though. Like the Wii before it, the Wii U can't even play DVD movies, nor Blu-rays. And while the Wii was able to be softmodded to read DVD movie discs, the Wii U will never be modded to read Blu-rays. They're only equivalent in the sense that 25GB equals the capacity of a single layer Blu-ray. I…

If this game is 15+ GB, even mentioning the eShop version is a troll because nobody's going to download it. I used DVDs as a unit of measure, not a statement of what it would use. 8-9 GBs is reasonable for this game, anything higher and it's approaching half a premium Wii U's flash storage. Yeah, we can use USB…

The console has been out for 2+ years. There's no excuse for that level of ignorance.

Flash > HDD > DVD/Blu-ray. This game may take up a full dual-layer DVD though, so expect the eShop version to cut heavily into the Wii U's onboard storage.

Does this thing actually duplex print? I've been reading conflicting information. I ordered it yesterday but I may end up just driving to Best Buy and exchanging it.

Your answer is wrong though, and it was to a question I didn't even ask. The context is 64-bit vs 32-bit, not Windows 7 or 8. Even though "you can get 64-bit windows 7 computers..." the OP obviously didn't get one because he doesn't fulfill the 64-bit requirement. And if he did, that wouldn't preclude his ability to…

I know you're talking to me, and now I'm just going to tell you outright that your posts are fucking useless. I know you can buy Windows 7 64-bit PCs, but the fact that they're Windows 7 would not matter because the point is to get 64-bit. Are you still confused? Do you want to continue this "discussion" even though…

Are you high? I doesn't matter if it's Windows 7 or 8. The OP said he doesn't have a 64-bit PC, which means 1) he somehow bought a new PC with 32-bit Windows 7 or 8, or 2) he actually does have a 64-bit OS and is just unaware. Stop being obtuse.

The must-own Cowboy Bebop Complete Series Blu-ray has dropped to a must-buy price level. It's listed as temporarily out of stock, but you can still lock in the special price. [Cowboy Bebop, $34]

Which is irrelevant since the point is to get 64-bit.

How did you buy a new PC and not get Windows 8 64-bit on it?

I made the mistake of getting a 32GB SD card. Make sure you get a MicroSD so that you can transfer it to the New 3DS XL in the future. The difference in transfer speeds won't matter because the wireless performance of the handheld is pretty terrible. 32GB is where the value has been this season. Anything lower or…

If you hack/cheat to discover things offline, there's nothing stopping you from jumping online and going to those places directly. You'd reap the benefits of discovery without any of the work, spoiling the experience for other people trying to get by with that profession in mind. I didn't have to think about this very…

You didn't address anything but the shipping. If you want to maximize the discounts for Best Buy, you have to buy early. Personally, I rarely buy games at launch or at full price. So getting that $120 back would take longer. Also, if you don't think shipping costs money, then pointing out Best Buy provides free…

Convenience is time, which is money. You have to buy things at full launch prices to get the most out of your investment at Best Buy. Shipping is a fixed cost, regardless of how old the product is. Free 2-day shipping and cheap 1-day/overnight shipping saves a lot of money. You also get streaming and storage services…

Kill it before it runs away!!!

Most PC users that want it on the platform can probably fit 15-20 FFXVs on their game drives. Getting 2 to 4 terabytes is ridiculously easy, as evidenced by that Samsung external 4TB deal today.

"I don't have the willpower necessary to be the "face" of a company," he said. "If I do continue to work in games it'll be as an anonymous 1 of 1000 at some shitty corporation."

Is there a benefit to being bald and bearded while making musical parodies? I thought this guy was Brentalfloss for a moment.
