The physical copies are only there for people with download caps and people who want to have things up on a shelf.
This.
Physical copies are just a compromise.  Just like computer software.  From, get this, A computer Software company.

Interesting observation:  Quantam Conundrum sounds incredibly similar to Quantic Dream, and said game appears to be Microsoft's "Heavy Rain"-styled game (I'm aware Remedy is the developer).


It's also sad that Microsoft's Xbox One was unveiled the same day this happened.

That's the more exciting announcement methinks.

I think pretty much anyone getting a Wii U just jump to the Deluxe.  That $50 seems to not deter so they are trying to move the Basic stock thats just piling up.

That's actually not a bad idea.  I could go pretty long starting with alter beast.

We talking 7-14 year olds right?  From my experience they could care less for Sports and as a parent you bet I'm not letting my Son play anything rated M that I haven't vetted.

$150 sounds about the right price for a high end something just for Media consumption.

You be very surprised how powerful a license holder can be if they have a good license regardless of what the publisher could technically get away with.


The NFL license is probably so sought after in the gaming community that if the NFL wanted to auction it off to other developers/publishers then EA would fight tooth and nail to keep it under their control.
Very much so.  Which puts the NFL in a strong bargaining position.

Why wouldn't the NFL want to keep it exclusive? I think that unless another company managed to convince the NFL that they would do a good job for the NFL brand and make the NFL a lot of money, then EA will be able to keep it exclusive.
Easy,  EA will not drop Madden just because they don't have the Exclusive deal anymore.  They will continue to make the NFL a lot of money because, they still have to license the IP from the NFL.  This allows the NFL to have more leverage over EA and to fill the gaps in its IP.  If EA not producing for the Wii U then someelse could.

Given the current state of EA, if I were the NFL I'd be looking for a way out of the exclusivity deal. That company is a mess, and seems to be falling apart.
Isn't this year or next the final year of the current exclusivity contract that EA extended in 2011?

Yes, I believe it is. But the Madden games sell so well (even though they have decline a little), that I think the NFL would be fine extending it again.
I don't think they'll keep it exclusive unless made a very good deal.

The problem with Kinect for PC is Proximity.  The Voice the Items all could be achieved with a typical mic.

On PC you've been buying Licences well for a very long time.  Its the natural evolution when Storage Medium is no longer needed to hold things.  As soon as you have the space to keep it local than licensing is the model that happens.

This will be the first time I beat this game.
Its OK.
That's all I'll give it.

Why not good?  Because I ended with 58% with being really carefully and checking everything.  I honestly don't see how you could do 90-100% without using a guide or playing through the game analyzing each inch.  The controls are well... Not as spot on as I would like.  Its a fun game but I'll probably never play it again.

I've seen a few episodes of DS9, but it felt like a cheaper, lamer version of TNG. Hell, the only Star Trek show I liked was TNG, and not even all of it. As I said earlier, I pretty much only like about 80% of TNG. I'm not a Trekkie whatsoever. :P

You should give it another shot. It's slow to start, but once it gets rolling it's easily the best written Star Trek series. It can pull off emotional depth like "The Visitor," political suspense and intrigue like "In the Pale Moonlight," and legitimately funny comedy like "Little Green Men."
In general I agree but, their are some episodes that are trying their hardest to tank that.

I be surprised if Nintendo catches any Exclusively Western game of any note.

So there be an explostion on the Internet if that happens.

25
I probably will be.  IF I don't forget what actual day it is again.
