Suh-WEET!

So as next-gen console release dates get closer, I had a realization, and have made a change. I was listening to a podcast, remembered that all games are supposed to be available digitally Day One of Console Release. And he reminded the listeners that all digital purchases are tax-free. And so I've canceled all my Amazon pre-order games.

So, I live in Texas. And we have 8.25% sales tax. So a retail game can come out to $64.86. Multiply that by some three or four games near launch, and that's a solid $15 or $20 dollars I could keep in my pocket. Hopefully they have the option where you can pre-load your game a couple of days before the game launch. Battlefield 4 is supposed to be 30 gigs to begin with. So in a year or two, those five extra dollars I'm paying for tax, can pay for some solid smaller download titles. And I could stop having to care about going to the Best Buy and caring about waiting in line or whatever.

And well, yea. The hard drive is only like 500 Gigs. And 30 gig games could add up, mathematically to where you could have maybe 16.67 games or so. But I have an external terabyte hard drive just in case it gets filled up. I have to reformat it again, but that's whatever. So I'll just plug that in and I'll be good to go.

Anyway, I just wanted to throw that out there. I'm going all digital from Day One. Are you?
