did ME:A just go gold? It's up for full preload on Xbox

quite true, unless the game can be played offline and is safely stored on an external HDD. Even then unless MS SHUTS DOWN it's gaming division that is not even remotely a concern

If that was a real concern then Steam would not really be making any money....oh wait

sure...you could move and realize that a sofa fell on your physical library box in the Uhaul and 75% of your collection is now turned into glitter fit for a high class stripper....

So when will the data mining occur?

Wow, pre-loading already? They certified that quick. Is that unusual?

Well, for one, I work for a bank. And have had direct hands-on with disputes where a system got fragged, and people are not being assisted by Microsoft. Or Sony. Apple. Valve. Blizzard. Name a big company, and I've probably dealth with them on numerous occasion.

As for my dog? He's never bitten a thing, but tell you what, if he ever does, the first time he does, I'll upload the pictures and tell you firsthand your selfrighteous elitism has finally come to a zenith, and I'll apologize for having a different opinion than you, oh grand Halo master. 😅

And honestly? 'IF I can find anpther copy'? ... you know the internet is a thing? Right?

I hope the forum does not go in flames after all the leaks from the soon to happen datamine.

This may sound like a dumb question but people can data mine from console?? Also when should we be excepting those leaks I think I'm going crazy from the anticipation of who we can romance or not. Damn I just want Cora for Sara and Jaal for Scott!!!

I didn't see a reply but PS4 should have preload on the 14th.

Indeed. Mine pre-loaded earlier as well.

Now we play the waiting game.

40Gb, that's like a 4 min download or something I think? I hope there is some good content in there

Hehe, ~40GB is pretty standard for games these days. If anything I'm surprised it doesn't take more space. Infinite Warfare and Doom, 'simple' shooters, both take around 80GB on PC, Gears of War 4 is over 100GB. They all seem a bit odd though, suspect there are some uncompressed audio or horribly unoptimized textures involved.
