Not everyone wants to sit on the computer and play the game with a horrible game pad (some PC joypads are good, but most aren't) when you can just play it on your TV with a very good pad. It's all a matter of perception and whether or not you feel good about playing pirated games (I do on my Dreamcast) or whether you want to be legit and actually pay (minimally I hope) for a good copy.

And if you read my post, the reason why I think it's better than sliced bread is because of the GCN compatibility. Sure I have a GCN already, but with this I get a new system and a GCN in one. Also another selling point to me is SSB Online that (if you've played Melee and got addicted) will be one of the greatest things this world has ever seen (hopefully). And about it's secrecy, I don't really care, but the things I do know (plus the aesthetics of the console) are great.

And I never said I don't like blood and gore, I said that I don't really see the NEED for it in a game. Sure the GTAs have gotten away with it, but a game like Manhunt (IMO) is really not necessary. Halo 2 doesn't have blood and gore and look how that did. Also, I do like some games like that (GTA:SA, MK2, Total Carnage) but when it becomes an abundance then it really isn't my cup of tea...unless it's a REALLY great game. GTA:SA comes to mind becuase it took the, what I think to be crappiness, of the two previous games and refined them to greatness. No more loading between cities, countryside, upgradable elements, swimming and more and more. But that's just me.

Keep dreaming. They will be 1-5 dollars a download.
