Might I also mention that just because the PC game has a physical box does not mean you can play it offline. There are some games that require that you play with an internet connection. Blame it on the DRM they use.
You don't have to save your credit card information on Steam. Although you will have to fill in the information everytime you buy something, and don't forget to tick off the box that wants you to save that info.
Aren't retailers controlling the prices? They might think it's a system for kids, so might as well rip off the parents because the kids are going to beg for them until their parents decide not to pull more hair out from the incessant nagging. When the other systems have games that are targeted towards the teens/adults which have no nagging powers, and will be more careful about the limited money they can spend, thus their prices go down. Pure speculation of course.
Also, I'm a Nintendo zombie, I don't go gaga over every thing that is Nintendo.
Maybe Nintendo fanboys are the most vocal about the good things Nintendo has because that's just how the group is.
I don't think the 3DS can stream games, or did you mean download? Then yeah I can see that happening. If Nintendo's efforts towards consolidating accounts was for this end.
I want to see DS/3DS backwards compatibility. All I want to see is some sort of peripheral add-on. I like playing my games on a big screen, where I can sit back and relax.
Err the constellation I mean...
