Mad about Madden! NFL video games exclusive rights lawsuit

June 12, 2008 by myka

In a report from Gamespot.com it was found that a class-action lawsuit was filed by plaintiffs that feel that EA's exclusive rights to NFL video game production hinder the genre and is "blatantly anticompetitive conduct".

Now, a lot of blogs are spinning this negatively at the football gamers, but we here at Two Bit News are all about long argumentative battles, especially in court, over issues that really aren't that important to society. So when we heard of one that coincidentally is a subject we agree upon we decided it was worth a post to show our support!

To the plantiffs:

On behalf of all gamers in the world that want higher quality games, we salute you!

Wii-HDD Hard Drive revealed!

June 11, 2008 by myka

To the delight of storage starved Wii owners across the globe, Nintendo announced today a new Hard Drive addon for the Wii.

It's tentatively named the Wii-DD, which many of you OGs out there will remember is very similar to the also long awaited (but never delivered outside of Japan) add-on drive for the N64, the 64-DD.

Well good news, this one is twice as huge, and no, we don't mean in terms of market impact, we mean it's literally huge.

As you can see it's a compact 20x the size of the Wii itself making it much more secure in case of an earthquake. It also uses it's own power supply so you don't have to dim the light on the Wii when updating!

Gamefly opens location in Austin, TX. Larger games guaranteed.

June 11, 2008 by myka

GameFly, the worlds most popular mail based drug dealer (video games rental, same thing right?) has announced they opened a distribution center in Austin, TX.

Normally, this would mean faster shipping times for people who live nearby, however, since this is Texas, and EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas, instead of faster shipments, gamers will be recieving larger games. Thats right, the discs for your favorite systems will be between 3 to 5 times larger than normal.

What? Your system can't play gigantic discs? Well then maybe you should move to New York, sissy! We don't take kindly to your kind 'round here anyways.

Heres the details (thanks to Kotaku.com):

Vampires. Mummies. My love life. What do these things have in common? They’re all dead, and the legends of their deeds will be the foundation of nightmares for years to come. We all fear the day when the reanimated corpse of Abraham Lincoln meanders down the street, thirsting for vengeance, brains, and a hat that won’t restrict his ability to enter a parking garage.
