This makes me saddest in the game market with day-one patching. I'm old enough to remember bringing a game home, plugging in the cart and playing it, but if I was to do that now with a disc or cart, there is likely a download in my future. At least some of the game publishers will pre-download so I can play when the game is made available, but I miss the days (not the bugs) of instant playing once the game was acquired.

The newest Call of Duty (was released this past Friday) was released on disc as well as the various digital forms. Apparently, the disc was only contained ~72mb of data for a game that easily cleans 100gb when fully installed.

I miss the days when bugs were extra content. B)
