My preference is digital, however I still buy majority on disc. The reasons for still buying disc are:

• Download times;
• Cost of the digital marketplace is more expensive than store; and
• Cannot trade-in digital games.

The d/l times can be overcome by installing at night I guess, but economically it still does not make sense to buy online. If / when the marketplaces become like steam, or they start selling at the retail price points I would be more inclined to purchase online. The advantages of online are no clutter in the place, I do not need a box or anything and the other is being able to play games without getting up to switch out a disc.

Sometimes I will be sitting on the couch watching something or doing something and a friend invited me to play something else, I would rather be able to just launch the game then need to switch discs etc. That and their are games I only want to play in short bursts i.e. Battlefront and if I have to get up and switch the disc I will probably just do something else.

Depends on your life and lifestyle. The only gaming device in that lineup for commuter travel is your 3DS. While that is a good system as it offers some solid Nintendo games on the go, the Vita is a far superior product. It feels better to hold and the standby mode is much better. I can usually leave the thing on for 2 weeks just floating around the house.

Other have mentioned cross saves, which is excellent, the other feature is cross play i.e. buy it once and then play it across different systems. There are good exclusives like Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush etc. however you can also go into some PSone classics (and PS2 with Persona4), so I play a bit of Street fighter 2 on the go, however the indie scene is where it is at. Its like a portable steam machine. Thomas was alone, Rogue legacy, hotline miami, luftrausers, shovel knight, Limbo, Child of light (ok it's an Ubi game), stardust and resogun and loads more. With PS sales you can usually pick them up fairly cheap. Also, final fantasies. The Vita deserves more love then it gets, its an incredible system.

The vita is impressive and has a lot of interesting games, especially in the JRPG and indie scene, with a lot that offer cross buy and save with the PS4. Definitely recommend getting one as a dedicated mobile gaming option and my personal preference is the older model as it is a bit bigger and has an OLED display.

However if the main objective is an extra controller, it is probably better to get another dual shock.

I think the biggest issue is that 3rd party developers will need to get there content released on the Nintendo OS. Currently developers have the IOS app store, Play store for Android and then Microsoft Store for windows devices. This creates another platform for release, requiring different coding work and also requires Nintendo to allow games like jet pack joyride onto the e-store, and apps like FB etc to be developed for their operating system and onto the estore.

I do not think Nintendo should go down that route as it confuses the messaging from Nintendo as being a dedicated Nintendo handheld device, where there own intellectual property thrives. I think they would see it as diluting control and quality assurance on the device. The only way I see them doing it is not a hand held but if they wanted to go head on with Apple and Samsung etc and start selling Nintenphones.

1080 snowboarding (please... oh how much I want), Wave Race, Super Mario 64, Bomberman 64, Pokemon Snap and Super International Cricket. Would even be happy if they just got these games onto the Wii U virtual console.

Definitely not. The originals will always be special because they introduced a lot of gamers to a great new franchise, and fans of the show to rpg style gaming. Prefer they just made the originals and the first remakes available on virtual console so they can be easily accessed and just focus on a new game.

My personal preference is Mario Kart on SNES, purely for sentimental reasons as it is one of my most played child hood games. Really liked the original tracks in that game, although Mario Kart 64 also holds a special place as the battle mode was the best battle mode and made local multiplayer and public holidays with the family a lot of fun.

Really hard to say, really enjoyed Super Monaco GP on the sega mega drive. That game was ahead of it's time.

Notable inclusions are Need for Speed High Stakes, Need for Speed Underground, Forza 2, Forza Horizon 2, F1 2012 and V8 supercars.

@polishkid99: Cheers for the feedback, Titanfall is a really good game. Really hard to justify the launch console fee ($99.95 in Australia), when the game needs more content, and they cannot rely on a modding community or anything. The maps are in general quite good, although nothing with ultimate lasting appeal (maps like dust 2, assault, office and Aztec for CS) the controls are excellent, with double jump and wall running etc. One thing i love is no kill streak or anything, one draw back is not enough guns so levelling up is not that important after you unlock a few core upgrades to the titan.

Not sure the current price point it needs to be more in line with CS Go, but it is a really good game, and would definitely get more life out of having core friends to play with.

A hoy, hoy,

After swearing off COD since MW3, I find myself toying with the idea of giving it another "shot"... zing. I do not play the SP and am only interested in the MP aspects. Currently have Titanfall, BF4 and Halo MCC in the FPS genre. Although I like Titanfall I just do not feel there is enough of it, and needs a bit of cleaning up, with no stellar maps. They are mostly good, just none that stand out as awesome. With BF4 being a different style and MCC feeling a bit dated, and also the ongoing issues destroying my desire to play the game, was wondering what peoples impressions are of the MP.

I did not enjoy MW2 maps, thought Black Ops had a great MP with good variety, and MW3 was possibly the worst FPS experience for MP, with all maps being the same size and layout except one had a jungle setting the other was in the city etc. Are there good maps that make you want to come back and keep playing i.e. do they feel varied, is the addition of the exo suit and movement tweaks good for the MP experience? Just looking to see if there is enough to warrant adding a fourth FPS for the MP experience, and if this game has done enough to justify re-entering the COD franchise?
