Title: Microsoft is starting a new download system for Windows 8 users.
Post by: RegalSin on June 14, 2011, 10:06:14 am
So basically if your a Windows 7 users, not a 9x, 3.1, Nt, 2000 or even XP user.
You can now use this service to download games. No it is not steam.

I forget but, I am serious. Now you can play video games without even using a damn game system. Isn't this the most amazing news you have ever heard in your life. No more hardware but what is supportable in your personal computer. The only catch is that you have to pay a fee of course. This is totally new and different from anything you have ever experienced.

Another website I was banned from. They think I have warez ::)

Isn't that cool. You don't get a big heavy cassette or iffi CD but some data, for as long as Microsoft supports your purchase. Note these purchases do not carry on to your children or other people, and are non-tradable in consideration of the account itself. Your personal information might be prowned to being taken, and result in receiving odd stuff in the mail.

And that is the word now go look for the bird

A cloud-base service video game.. OnLive.

I like OnLive, it allows the user to play whatever game he/she wants without the need to worry about the hardware, because it's streamed from their servers.

But, I prefer to touch, feel, see and play physical games than digital.

Probably I would've never gave a chance at Super Dragon Ball Z if it were sold as a digital game, the gameplay is fun but a bit hard to master the charge attack moves, not very easy.

Knowing you I highly doubt that was the reason.
