Yea, that's a neat part to the Greg Bear Forerunner stories. That we fought the Forerunners and lost and were de-evolved as punishment. Then we rediscovered Forerunner tech as if it was new and strange.
It's like a conspiracy. You find yourself starting to buy digital games. The next thing you know, that's all there is and you've given your hard copies to Goodwill.
I mentioned to a Gamestop employee how appealing the $249 Wii-U was but that I didn't want it. He immediately said, "waiting for it to go to $200?" I was like, "what?". Maybe he knew a serious price cut was coming. Anyway it's good to wait a little longer. I can feel it in the air, even though price cuts are not common for Nintendo. But they did it for 3DS when sales weren't good. So fingers crossed.
