Well if it saving to SkyDrive (think MS's Dropbox) then you should be able to pick up the file on a computer and use where ever

What Apple charges for built in storage is sort of irrelevant. The issue is 32 GB cards of standard types are $20-25. $75 is insane mark up. Sony often loves these proprietary cards for all their products.

Some bad luck there - but I think at least on the TV front - all of them cost more to fix than replace, no matter who makes them.

Well for starters - the failure right is likely no where near as high as many people make it out to be. While still too high - it is probably likely something like 15-20% of those early systems. Then MS fixed them for free for three years. I had 2 red rings early on. They were a hassle yes, but since MS fixed them…

I think it will be a separate store and pricing. Amazon does this with Steam games as well. Many of their digital PC games are delivered through steam, but are not the same price as the game in Steam. I did this with X-com most recently and Amazon had a price that was like half of the Steam price at that time. This…

Good point but I'm hoping the ability to play while you install on both systems alleviates this type of long slow install pain where you can't do anything and this will be a better option. Hopefully they will let you play digital only stuff while this install happens making even less painful.

The out of the box HHDs will hold like 10-12 games. I think most people don't actively play that many at once so the size seems ok. You don't have to have everything installed at the same time. Take the old stuff off. Cycle it in again when you want to revisit a title. A lot people do this on PCs

Xbox One will take any USB 3 hard drive. So you can't swap but you can add all the TB you want.

I haven't played the series (not much for baseball games) but does $20 in in-game currency bother anyone else? Is this always in there? Is this like booster packs in EA sports games (which should be outlawed)?

I agree - this is A LOT of copy devoted to what is really a minor aspect of the game. I blow through CoD SP mostly because it came with the game so why not? But really it is like going on a movie themed ride at an amusement park. You're their for the show really. Like playing summer block buster movie.

Who needs that much monitoring of their temp? As an adult, you can pretty much tell when you have one and oh - just use a freaking thermometer. Heck get fancy - use a digital in ear reader kind. Or go cheap with one of those forehead strip things. I'm not sure why inserting an ipod sized device in him seemed like…

I think you have some good ideas but missed the mark by framing it as a games should be shorter. I'm probably one of the few here that will say the current standard of 10-12 hours is a great game length to complete the main story. Too much longer often feels like a grind in a story driven game. And grind is what I…

No - but a walk through of a part of a game you're stuck on could be useful. This is a lame example of a nice perk.

Is anyone else hating the Hold Guide Button for Details part of this new pop-up. I'd love that to go away - it keeps the pop-up up longer with useless info. I hope tool tips or soemthign can be turned off. You see that once or twice and you get it and don't need to see it for the next 5-10 years....

As the author commented - it is so subtle on the 360 most (me included) never noticed this at all.

I'm not sure this would do it. I think the big difference is importing from Japanese v. importing from US companies.

Thanks for the info. Seems like Target could take a more pro customer approach here

I thought the watchdog bundle was an official one - which was what was creating the problems.

Wait - now your are comparing this "next gen" WiiU to the PS3? How does that help you? Which side of this picture is which? other than the one on the right being darker they look about the same to me. Of course this is why arguing of 720 v 1080 is pointless on all but the largest screens. People can't see the…

I think you described the problem with giving away newer games - they still make money on sales. With PS+ there is basically a rental fee going to the developers so some cash is still flowing. The older games MS is paying the developers for us, but they are games that were good at the time but liekly don't see much…
