Nintendo digital pricing makes a strong argument for physical copies.

idk about the US but in the UK Nintendo sells most of their first party games for £40-£50 and Sony is still trying to make £70 games a thing (and succeeding probably idk I was thinking of getting the next NBA 2k but then saw the price)

Nintendo games are $60 digitally, but stay $60 forever, and maybe once a year are on sale for $45. Sony's games go on sale pretty quickly and drop in price permanently pretty often, and even eventually becomes free on PS+. The $70 price increase though is greedy as gently caress and bad.

The good news about the NBA 2K franchise is that it hits will usually hit a deep sale by the end of the year.

Next-gen NBA 2K took awhile to start going on deep sale though, but maybe that won't be the case now that next-gen has been out for a year. The next-gen graphics update for NBA was amazing though.

Ah, you see, they thought of it because the email telling me about reupping for 60$, because I don’t buy a yearly subscription, I buy an „indefinite subscription with periodical billing” and thus cannot ask for a return :smug:

And also, the last time I bought a yearly sub was with a code through a keysite. So it means they just decided that my card’s fine to use

Don’t do this, but replay all the ones before 4

My favorite thing about people doing a Halo Marathon in the lead up to Infinite is when they get to the end of Halo 4 and ether they didn't play it the first time so they have no idea what's about to happen; or they did play it once nine years ago and all of a sudden they get these fever dream like visions of a swarm of tiny, naked Cortana they had locked away in the back corner of their memories.

Swarms of tiny, naked Cortana. Cortani. I know putting naked there is redundant but it just makes the phrase flow better.

It is pretty frustrating that they don't even put their 3DS games on sale; like they used to do a few for Black Friday sales and around E3 but nothing for like two or three years now.

alternately you can use gamefly or w/e for console games and just send a game back for the next in your queue if you don't like it

I finished season 6 of columbo last night and I'm sad to be almost done with the 70s episodes because I heard the 80s/90s/00s ones are not as good (season 5 had some v weak episodes imho and I didn't like the william shatner one but they've generally been pretty good overall)

Yeah if that works for you, it's a great one and will save you a ton of money but I really do like having a huge library of games readily at hand in case I get a weird impulse to play Halo 4 one day etc lol

ah that's actually a satisfying answer and really cool way to keep canon across media, i respect this. before i actually bought WoW back in the turn of the century i thought the games would be more like that, with GMs who come around to do events and controls monsters and whatever. really GMs just make you change your name because some dweebs in a battleground dont like it.

They were not paying people of color who appeared in videos nearly as much as white people who did videos and decided to burn the whole thing down instead of paying them more. Also just a generally toxic work environment too.
