this digital move will bring more profit for this studio

andron5324d ago

And profit for MS and their overpriced hdd's.

death2smoochie5324d ago

And how does that relate to Alan Wake? Oh wait...you're trolling...continue

jony_dols5323d ago

'The original Alan Wake could have been an XBLA game too, Mäki reasoned, on the basis that without cut-scenes it would have fitted XBLA's 2GB filesize limit.'

But I liked the cutscenes in Alan Wake. Are they gone from the new XBLA title?

andron5323d ago

It was more a comment on how much hdd space these big downloadable games take. Both on PS3 and Xbox. Only a bit more relevant on the platform where a hdd isn't standard on all models...

SDF Repellent5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

So andron, what is your point? People without an hardrive don't need to buy the game or they can use their Walmart $10 8gb usb drive to store the download game to play if they wanted to. It is not like they don't have an option to upgrade.

andron5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

How is hdd space not relevant for a downloadable title?

These high end DL titles often take a couple of gigs and end up taking much hdd space after a while. That's what I was getting at.

And of course they can upgrade to a hdd if they want, and there is where MS overpriced hdd's come into play...

SDF Repellent5323d ago

Calm down man. You sounded angry. LOL. If you don't like the non-HDD arcade X360 unite, then don't buy it. No one is forcing you. It is still the lowest priced HD system on the market for the casual folks.

Can you stop trolling now.

Jake_the_Dog5323d ago

Yeah those hdd's are stupidly overpriced.

PetitPiPi5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

Andron. Ever hear of a 16g USB key?

The hdd's are way overpriced. I would never purchase a MS hdd. Straight robbery.

Why did NYC get disagree's? Its true

BadgerDeluxe5323d ago

Welcome to N4G, where people hit disagree because of ignorance or wanting to be "funny."

Zeal0t5324d ago

I am no fan of digital distribution :/ But i am glad to hear that it's just a spin off.

Convas5324d ago

I don't care. I just want to find out more! Monday, Y U NO COME FASTER?!

A Late Look: Alan Wake

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran8777d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

jznrpg189d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto776d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia777d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger777d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie776d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos776d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie776d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh776d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
