If Nintendo made Mario Kart DLC, how much would you pay per track?

$0. If I had a bunch of friends online who played every other day, $4.50.

4 hour rentals for like $4, is Sony on crack.

The other rates are reasonable though (other than the 90 day).

The way I see it, the 4 hour rental is a "do you like it or not taster".

I just completed my PS4 hard drive swap.....I now have 4 times the storage space with a Samsung Momentus 2tb Hdd.

It was a bit scary at first....the update cwould not work and then my PS4 told me a critical error has occured. I thought FUCK.....either the drive is no good, or something is now wrong with the system. Turns out after some searching, Sony fails to mention there are TWO DIFFERENT FILES for updates; One for people just updating the existing drive which is only a 184mb file, and another for people installing a NEW drive that is a whopping 734mb file!

I only found this out because I goggled ps4 update errors and found a few people on some board who had this issue...one poor bastard actually sent a hard drive back, got another, and realized it wasn't the problem. He then discovered somehow there was this bigger file for new drives....again Sony mentions this NOWHERE. But anyway, its all good and running great now.

Here is the file for anyone interested:

So the reason you have 8gb of RAM is because the Knack devs asked for it. At least something good came from that atrocity.

Oh and XB1 devs are downscaling resolution for better performance on the eSRAM which is juggling data between that and the DRAM.

It's been nice reading this GAF thread that's run from E3 to now. It's called something like Who has bought a Wii U within the past week? And tons of new users are picking up systems and a lot of games, like 4 - 12 games on day one.

Interestingly 9/10 new users love the system, many admitting complete turnarounds of opinion, or suprised delight. As I suspected and speculated before, people who actually get one and play it actually like it. It's been fighting against the industry, one-sided journalism and haughty technical snobbery. Yet at the end of the day people actually enjoy it because it is a decent system, with an ever growing library of high quality excusives. Nintendo obviously f**ked up the marketing too, soft launching it.

Also, people discovering the joy and necessity of offscreen play is nice, especially after all the "ditch the gamepad" chants. All I wanted in the industry was more realism and fairness instead of people having to shit on stuff they aren't even interested in, or involved with.

I've been reading it and enjoying the opinions too.  One user said it's like a breath of fresh air after all of the brown /grey looking shooters.

That appears a lot. People who haven't had a Nintendo console since the SNES or N64, they get one and it feels new to them, to play colourful fun-focused games again. Also there are a lot of gamers who skipped Wii getting a U. I guess because even though it's doing badly in sales, to them as hardcore gamers it's more appealing then Wii was. It's hard to imagine, some catching up on Wii games because of the backwards compat. So much stuff to get through.

So yesterday I wanted to keep watching TV in the background but felt like playing some Mario Kart 8. So I played it entirely in the game pad. Wii U why didn't I get you sooner. You were made for the multitasking and background noise liking me.

Aspro^ constant input.

Interesting stuff from the thread:

I was just in a GameStop that was completely sold out of Wii Us.

I saw three different families walk in and buy MK8.

The MK8 bundle is sold out in every gamestop within 100 miles of my house.

I also just noticed that the mario kart 8 bundle is sold out on amazon.fr, though i dunno if that's any indication for success

Ok...I wanna take back ALL bad words I ever said about Wii U. Have bought it two days ago and I like it. MK8 is a great game, some track designs are genious, Zeldas Wind Walker artstile in motion is MUUUUCH better that in screenshots and I LOVE it(thought I will hate it at first) and New Super Luigi U...here I have a blast, for person who not so familiar with Mario games(Wii U is my first Nintendo home console ever) this game is BRUTAL, but level design is AWESOME, espesially castles.

  I never owned a Nintendo console before (handhelds all the way!) so I'm pretty excited, to say the least. My friends think I'm crazy, but then they all beg me to come over to play Mario Kart... hmm.

Spoke to 3 people today who all are going to purchase a Wii U when they previously didn't think it was worth the investment. Suddenly, the exclusive library is irresistible

Was anyone here on internet forums when the Dreamcast was failing or being berated by gamers? Did forums even exist back then?

What was the reaction to the Dreamcast and its woes online? If you weren't online, what was the press and gamers reactions via letters to magazines and/or your friends?

I loved the console, personally. Sega created all those new brands too, to me it was them at their creative best.
