And it's a good thing we have Nintendo to fuck that portion of people out of their money.

How much will you put on that bet? I'm in.

Which internet are you using, AOL or Compuserve?

Prodigy. I wish it was 1995. Gaming was much better then, and arcades were still open.

I'm sure most those people don't feel like their being fucked out of their money. It's pretty fucking easy to build your own PC and install windows, and yet Dell continues to sell PCs. It's called some people just don't want to be bothered and would rather pay money to have some one else do the work.

All the SF games have been online for free for years, and yet an assload of people ponied up 10 bucks to do so on XBLA.

Achievements, leaderboards, and online play will do that. ;)

I don't see how technical engineering experience on hundreds of dollars worth of electronics compares to downloading a ROM and an emulator.

That's because it's Xbox fucking Live. I wish every game ever made was on it.

The point I was making was that they did include online play and leaderboards can be done easily on a forum. I'll give you achievements but they really don't mean shit to me nor do I feel they're worth 10 bucks.

You don't need technical engineering experience on hundreds of dollars worth of electronics to build a PC. If you can figure out that kids game where you put the square peg into the square hole, you can build a PC.

God, let's go over the same god damn subject every three days. Hey guys! YOU CAN GET IT ALL FOR FREE ON THE INTERNETS

Oh, but Finch, I want it legally! I'll buy it on the Wii VC...

...oh, you say it's expensive? Really? Oh! Some of these titles are available cheaper on multi-game collections on other consoles...

But... isn't it all free on the internets?
