Agreed, but even then, you're only competing against a smaller field than you would on Steam or GOG.Com, for example.

Of course launching on PC is going to be cheaper—it's not a walled garden like the PS4 and XBox One (or WiiU) systems are.

I've been waiting for this to happen for a while now...

I actually purchased the console via eBay, but Ratkouten.com (nee: Buy.com) cancelled my order because they screwed up my payment on their end and never honored the price.

Question—can you use the 15% coupon and get the 5% discount from using a RedCard at Target at the same time?

Okay, I'm interested in getting a WiiU now. Problem is, I can't find one—specifically the Mario Kart 8 WiiU bundle. EVERYONE is sold out, and some stores (e.g. Target) act like they're not coming back again.

Original MK didn't have blood on the SNES version, but MK II and MK III did, IIRC.

10 hours or so...can beat it in a day, easily. 12 with expansion.

Nintendo's Virtual Console service should be like Netflix—pay $10-15/mo., and it's all-you-can eat on both the 3DS and WiiU.

And XBox One after a time.

No, but apparently you have some sort of brain damage that doesn't allow you to remember the past—just how 'confirmed' of a console 'exclusive' was the original Mass Effect was for the XBox 360, anyway?

You mean like Mass Effect was?

So the best first-party titles on the PS4 are going to be a remake of a PS2 and an up scaled PS3 title?

Oh, you mean the service where we have to pay to stream games we already own on another Sony console because Sony is a bunch of desperate, money-grubbing dicks that chose not to allow backwards compatibility?

Maybe if Sony put half the effort they exhaust in throwing shade into creating original first party titles worth playing on the PS4, I'd be inclined to think this is one hell of a body blow.

Well, thank God there's something first party worth giving a shit for on the PS4.

Well hell, looks like I'm buying myself an XBox One of my own sooner rather than later. Phantom Dust just sold me.

So pretty much a co-op, post-modern, sans black-and-white art version of The Saboteur?

You folks do realize that if Nintendo actually listened to good ideas, they'd have a top flight console, third party support, and all available NES, SNES, N64, and GCN titles for both the WiiU and 3DS Virtual Console service...perhaps even going so far as to make it a buffet-style subscription service, like the…
