Looks like Nintendo will be joining the club and offering their games online. While they currently have an online store for the wii, this will offer normal retail games that normally require a disk. This is a good move for us consumers for many reasons. It will:
– Provide us with cheaper games (maybe?). Packaging has to increase game cost so if there is not packaging one can assume games will decrease in price.
– Give us instant access to games when they are released
– Games may run faster on SSD drives rather than having to spin via dvd.
– A bad thing: no more used games
– A bad thing: Need for large hard drives which may cause us to buy more
