That's actually a valid point, Canama. If it's that big; I kinda question why they couldn't just put the bulk of the data on an install disk, and then just pull a Windows for the install, and install off the disk. If there's anything they need to have day one, they can add that in a Day one patch. But not for 3 gigs.

MsRR: The problem is; I think that all consoles will go that route for this generation. Sony already technically does it, as both consoles don't 'require' the patch to actually play the game, and it can download in the background. It's just for if you wanna get started with the Miiverse out of the box. Which, again, Sony already requires. The big thing pretty much comes down to pre-launch theft. The stores stocked them a freaking week in advance. Sure, stores need to have them ready for launch, but it also needs to fall to the manufacturers to make sure that it's not just sitting on shelves gathering dust a week in advance. But yeah, if someone had've gotten it before then, it would've pretty much just been able to play the games, if the person even had any(But since stores had those too...); and if Nintendo were smart, they'd notice the dates(Provided the people also didn't think ahead there), and start to get suspicious.

... I forgot where I was going with that. =P

Skrief: I agree. =O
