Mega Man 9 Arrived

[molotovwars]

After a long long time and never expecting to actually get the game from Capcom, my mom called and let me know a package had arrived. I was expecting a gamecube in the mail, but I had her open it and check, and to my surprise it was Mega Man 9. I'll have to check my school address to see if my second copy came through yet, but very good news. Thanks Capcom. Anyone else have theirs arrive?

Wait, there's a physical copy of Megaman 9 to be had?

*Mega Man 9 Press Kit - The one that Capcom only initially made like 200 of, then they made a small handful more for the people that placed orders before the site recognized that the system was out of stock

I had no idea they did this. I wish they'd release all these downloadable games in physical form. What happens when my 360 breaks down in 10 years and xbox live is no longer up and I want to play Pacman CE? God I had digital downloads.

take out your hardrive and put it on another xbox.

Yeah and if a harddrive burns out. . . .

I can see ebay of the future already

It'd be useless though, you either need the username and password of the account that downloaded the games, or have the HDD hooked up to the original 360 that the games were purchased on (unless the account registration has been transfered to another 360, in which case you need the username and password again)

I agree though, there is some concern of this for the future. Probably why a lot of people back their harddrives up onto their PC with the different 3rd party devices out there.

If MS is smart though, they'll have extended support of this stuff. Kind of like Steam does, where even if the servers go down, they'll have a way for you to still legally access your games.

Then you have missed out on a lot of great titles this generation.

I should raise this question to someone who can ask M$ about it. Honestly, if they come up with a response like, why would you want to play Pacman CE in 10 years, I'll just point them to www.racketboy.com
