    Ummm doubt it, 1TB is the largest out currently...and its more than a Xbox One X lol. Its going for ~$400+

    512GB you can get for a decent price when on sale (~$60 one time ive seen)

    Yes.. but the type of cards the switch takes, maxes out at 2tb.. So when the 2TB cards come out, the switch can take it. :D

    If you mean this:
    Is This Our First Real Look At Nintendo Switch Mini?

    So far its the only one that has that design. Could be their mockup. Accessories might be true to point to a Switch Mini tho.

    I found a 512gb at a acceptable price.

    EDIT: you know what? A 400gb card is just as good with half the price of the 512.

    First thing first. It’s not EA. It’s Take Two. Soo, NBA 2K19 went on sale recently for $2.99. But the latest update added an unskippable advertisement for the TV show “Snowfall”. The guy on the vid said he would have been fine with it if it was only the guys who bought it for $2.99 but he got it at full price near launch and he’s getting the advertisement also. So yeah, unskippable advertisements is the annoying thing.

    Well more, he would have been fine if take two TOLD people buying it at 2.99 was going to do that. He didn't like that they did it to the 2.99 people with no warning as well.

    It's also a setting you can turn off, but that doesn't get people as many clicks.

    Best Buy has Final Fantasy X and The Zodiac Age on sale for $35. For that price, I might go and pick them up.

    Two or three people I've talked to said they couldn't turn it off.

    And also, wouldn't showing a trailer for a show about crack mess up the ESRB rating?

    Holy shit....I'm not sure that's allowed in the TRC guidelines or that Nintendo would be at all happy with that.

    One of the things that really irritates me is that there was a lot of effort in making it easier to allow publisher/developer to push patches, which was based on trusting said developers and publishers to not pull shit like this. There was all these sort of "What if" arguments from those against simplifying the process and time and time again the counter argument was that we should trust publishers and not assume that they would want to do anything to wreck the user experience. And then somebody pulls a stunt like this - it's a real kick in the face to those who worked so hard on making it easier to work with Nintendo systems for the last six years.

    That's Take-Two, not EA.

    I've heard that apparently the setting to turn them off straight up doesn't work.

    I'm so used to it being EA I assumed. Watch them copy it tough.

    Anybody pick up Bloodstained? I was thinking about picking it up. Or wait and play Hollow Knight first.

    I'm till going through Tales of Vesperia. I had to find a FAQ on the battle system. I just need a spot where I can practice it and in the process, grind a bit.

    I got my Switch copy on Monday, but I've already been playing on PC and haven't opened it. Likely I won't, just for the "new, factory sealed, limited edition" bragging rights. But yeah, people playing on Switch have complained. It's apparently still playable, but not a good experience if you've tried the other versions.

    I trust that they'll iron it all out, but I miss the days when a physical game release didn't need patching.
