It doesn't warm the cockles of my heart. More like below the cockles. Maybe in the sub-cockle area. Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the colon. I don't quite know.
I'm a freshman in college and I'm turning 20 next week. If I were a senior I'd be turning 24, so that makes the year range 1983-1987. The NES version was released in North America in June of 1986.
So while it's true they were a bit young for this, try not to feel too old.
Their reasoning is most likely that, despite cost it's easier for some people.
Say you're a casual gamer, and you want some retro titles. If you're not playing on a regular basis, do you still want to be paying on a regular basis?
Also, for the youngins. They would have a hard time making monthy payments. That or trying to convince their parents to pay yet another monthy fee so their kid can sit around to make the most of the cash.
Or the case of my cousin. The poor bastard only has dial-up. So he brings his Wii to friends houses to download the games. Make monthly payments and he can't even get that.
But because I don't want to be a fanboy, and I'd like to find fault in their service, I will admit this. They could have both options available. Maybe?
Heh, I just got back home from the Detroit show. I was the one who was next in line for Metroid Prime 3 when the machine froze and was shut down for the night.
I was pissed.
The fans were crazier than I thought they'd be though, which was great. I moshed, I crowd surfed, I was dropped flat on my back when nobody noticed me crowd surfing their way. Good times.
Eh, I won't bring my CD player regardless of confiscation. I'd give their music a chance rather than refuse to accept that which I haven't experienced.
I feel sorry for those who can't enjoy a little something from each genre. The playlist I'm listening to has: My Chemical Romance, DMX, Metallica, Reel Big Fish, Def Leppard, and Queen. All of which are in that order in the middle of my playlist.
