I wouldn't mind seeing a home console that's solely digital distribution. However, assuming said console aims for PS3 quality, you'd need something along the lines of a 1 TB hard-drive, which is still relatively expensive. Of course, since a console based solely on digital distribution wouldn't need an HD DVD or Blu-Ray player, that might counteract the high cost of a large hard-drive.
While I'm at it, I may as well point out a few pros that digital media has over physical media:...
I think digital distribution can defeat physical media at some point, but digital distributed games need to have some form of resell value. That shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. One idea is that you can return a digital game and get a certain amount of money back that's determined by how long it's been since you downloaded the game. If it's a day-one return, you'll get most of your money back. If you wait to return a game until after you beat it or later, than you'll only get a small perc...
What happened to the cheap gaming PC Acer had planned awhile back?
I've never played a Monster Hunter game, but this seems like a must-buy for me.
Looks like it could make games that require quickly moving the analog stick (Paper Mario) feel a bit easier.
Wow...look at all the retards incapable of reading the article before they post.
It's an OK list of games, but I was hoping World at War was going to be one of those titles. It isn't the greatest game I've played, but playing online with friends was fun regardless.
Since Windows 7 should be free, I have no problems with this being pirated.
So not owning an HDTV the size of a house = a sad game room setup? Wow...fail article is fail.
Unless Blu-Ray becomes cheaper than HD DVD, I expect the next Nintendo console to go no higher than 720p HD games. Nintendo clearly favors innovative and inexpensive hardware over pure muscle.
Parents of the 21st century aren't smart enough to know how to use a parental control feature. Hell, some parents need their kids to remind them how to turn on the TV on a daily basis.
Where's Wind Waker?
I called AO rating when I saw a GoWIII trailer. I'll be interested to see if my prediction is correct.

Except it IS broken. Current controllers have limitations that motion controllers overcome.
Unless this violates an 'actual' law, I completely support their decision to make the game playable only when an internet connection is present.
I wonder what form of games they'll use; physical or digital media? I also wonder what type of controller they'll use? I'm sure they're creative enough to come up with a unique motion controller if they willed it. Of course, they could always use a regular dual-analog controller.
This person fails almost has hard as PETA.
The sun isn't even a solid. A bomb wouldn't do **** to it.
Internet Explorer should be in last. Chrome AND Opera are ten times better than it.
