The only console that I felt like needed an upgrade sooner was the Wii for obvious reasons. I have so many games I'm behind on too so that is another factor.Quote:

Not 20 hours. Dead Space 2 had its disc switch like 5 hours in. Mass Effect 2 also had me going to disc 1 for some subquests. Forza 3's install disc and day one DLC was a mess.Quote:

I give no shits about having to swap discs. I don't get why it's such a big deal.Quote:

It's the physical releases that cause the PSN/XBOD releases to be so expensive, because fucking GameStop would lose its shit if it got undercut. Physical PC games are all but dead, and obviously there are no iOS ones.
