I haven't been on this site in a dogs age(i believe a dogs age translates to about two months), but when I saw this on fubar, I was immediatley confused.

This is nintendo. Nintendo, is almost like a god you can see. How is it that they can't figure out how to do this without a disc?

And they say Microsoft overcharges.

No it's NetFlix that wants to do this with a disc, probably going to try and get it thru a backdoor, or unlicensed by Nintendo which would be stupid.

It falls in to consumer fails. How many times does a child get a hold of a movie or game disk and obliterate it? Undoubtedly they will be charging between $23 and $30 per disk, if the disk is damaged you will need another one there by giving them yet another steady flow of income…
