the sonic movies aren't brilliant cinema, but they are great fun!

@targetrasp man... it was amazing.  Such good memories.  You might still be able to have fun with it lol.  Honestly, I would still play if it was available.  I really wish it was available.

I never really got into 2003... but 2002 IMO is where it was at:


KEEP ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN...  :great:

LOL .. that's pretty good @retro junkie.  I also think you are 100% right on your assessment.   Considering a few things that happened recently.  @SpartanEvolved mentioned that Terminator 2 was recently pulled from PlayStation store and from all users who bought it.  I don't think they were refunded to date.

@targetrasp  --> I am there too.  Think about the cost of storage in a console... and in 2-3 years how large the games will be.  HEY... I CAN INSTALL 3 GAMES AT A TIME ON MY PS6.  That is insane and stupid. 

I probably (not 100% right now) won't get a console without a disc drive. Hopefully Nintendo doesn't cave. However, I did buy a Steam Deck... so when I think about that, I cannot say no 100%.  Anything Steam is fully digital.  I feel it's a bit more acceptable.  However, I also think this is the trend many people are embracing.  We will see if that ever gets turned around.

Sounds like Sony is taking it to the chin (at least a bit) based on this news.

@targetrasp --> I need to check this out on amazon... thank you for letting me know.  Autorip is pretty cool... still have the physical if they decide to pull the mp3s.

@retro junkie --> I don't think I've seen that Dr. Who.  Is it pretty good?  I've seen many other. Also --> what are your thoughts on the Sonic movies.  Those are great scores

My recent pickups. Top two was Father's Day. Bottom two was Walmart $5 bin.

It seems like Microsoft or Nintendo did something similar with some legacy stuff and the last few days had some killer sales. Maybe Sony will sell a bunch of digital stuff for cheap!

completely opposed. I will never buy a stand-alone console that does not have physical media. Storage is too expensive, I feel like you'll be juggling your library around with uninstalling and reinstalling titles, and the licensing nightmares have only begun.

If everything goes digital I'll just stick with pc. The licensing bs is still there as well as the inability to will, sell, or give your rights of ownership (if we can even call it that) but computers are usable for other things. A stand alone console that costs near computer prices with no other real purpose seems worthless.

I wish I would have seen this game when it was first out. Im Sure my group would have had a blast.

I didn't really get back into Hockey (quit playing around the 16-bit era) until the 360 came out. Consoles and launch titles were sparse. I think I bought 5 out of the 18 available and NHL 2k6 was one of them. Freaking amazing game, had lots of fun playing with my friends, but it didn't have that arcade feel Hitz looks to have had. Hitz seemed like an NBA Jam-esque Hockey game, I would have enjoyed quite a bit.

I just saw this and was watching this video. My personal thoughts? I think this will impact the whole industry. Nintendo will hold out for a while and then eventually cave. I am thinking they really wanted to do this with the Switch 2. I think that is what the key cards were all about. They were trying to wean gamers off of physical media. Not sure if the push back really changed their strategy or maybe delayed?

Not that I have an interest in any new consoles, but I do not like it. Games will be lost to newer generations of gamers. You just pay to have access and then games will be removed, to be lost. I will continue to hang onto the retro dinosaur consoles with their physical media. It is sad. But I am so happy that I got to live through, and enjoy, the good times of those early gaming years.

Makes me wonder just how this will have an effect on the storage in the newer consoles. Just how big will the games get and just how long will it take to download. Erase one game and download another? What kind of impact will this make on giving someone a gift, new game? No going to the local game store for a used game, it's not there anymore. You will own nothing and be happy.

wow things got busy and I didn't finish that game. Let's see......what? Wait! Where is it? NO LONGER AVAILABLE??!
