Lol it still has discs in 2012

Or digital download, if you prefer.

Wait what? What discs don't have rounded edges?

Can someone post a comparison?...

If you're thinking "aren't all discs round?" you're thinking of the wrong axis. The edges man, the edges.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Next gen discs with tesselated edges

 

[CambriaRising]

Next gen discs with tesselated edges

It is a better AA solution.

 

[antonz]

Get over it. In a year from now people are going to have to put up with an endless swarm of 720/ps4 threads.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Can the new thread have rounded edges?

No, sorry.

Only last-gen sharp edges.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

destroy all threads

burn the forum to the ground

no mods no masters

 

[papersleeves]

I'm not I get the whole "Apple suing in 3-2-1" stuff. Do Apple have a patent for rounded edge discs or something?

The digital downloads have rounded edges.

The discs are more next-gen than the launch game software itself

Almost all of them? I'm sure you have a CD somewhere, go feel it.

Rounded corners of the icons, I believe.

Apple apparently has patent on a rectangle with rounded corners.

It is more that they have patent on the design on the iPad one though. I'm not sure where the line goes between "looks like an iPad" and "doesnt like like an iPad".

I'm not sure why I have to explain this joke... It's because Apple currently has a design patent on rectangles with rounded corners. The joke is a play on that (since the disc has rounded edges)

Probably, lol

There's a comparison image on the link in the opening post. I didn't get it either until I saw it.

[RoboPlato]

I'm pretty sure that I never realized that discs didn't have rounded edges before this thread and I must have handled thousands in my lifetime.

 

[Mileena]

someone on GAF canceled their pre-order because of this

How many times did you cut yourself on those harsh, sharp edges?

 

[Kacho]

Fuck that. I un-canceled my shit.

 

[Dragon]

I can't wait for the official thread of Iwata Asks: How do you print money so quickly?

 

[beril]

Honestly this is a kindof neat tidbit. I did think it was a joke thread at first though

 

[Peagles]

Clicked on this thinking it was a joke thread.

But then looked at the photo and realised it's a very nice touch!

 

[Medalion]

2 actually

 

[MYE]

Thats pretty cool actually

What's with the thread bitching?

Yeah, what the fuck? If you dont like it move on

 

[Blades64]

The Wii-U also plays video games.

New thread time!

I call BS on this. When was this info shared? Link?

 

[kittens]

Day 1.

 

[Trurl]

I hope all the naysayers enjoy living in the sharp disc ghetto.

 

[playingwithfire]

You guys are so ungrateful, I like little details like this.

Smooth edges? Ok nice. Thank you Nintendo

 

[RoboPlato]

How many times did you cut yourself on those harsh, sharp edges?

I no longer have fingers.

 

[Poyunch]

Soft edges for babby's first console.

 

[Dorfdad]

and some of you said the Wii U wasnt next gen.... #InYoMommasFace

 

[Mlatador]

I love small details like that

 

[Why would you do that?]

I think it's neat. I like little touches that set discs apart, like the black back on PlayStation games.

 

[braves01]

Sharp edges is the new sharp knees.

 

[John Harker]

::digs out some games::

huh, no kidding. It does feel kind of nice. It's bendy in a different way, too. It's like, I don't know, slighty softer feeling or something. If that makes sense. Not as stiff.

Purple Ps2 discs were awesome.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Uh oh, the "core" gamers will be mad, this is too kid friendly.

Sharp edges... wud not play

 

[entremet]

I'm not exactly sure of the new guidelines, but we have to have a Wii U thread. This board is already unreadable.

PS4 is gonna way more fun lol.

 

[Takao]

Looks bigger than a dismembered cat's paw and Xbox 360 controller:

You could kill someone with this thing:

Some guy has some less than nice things to say about it:

ou would think that one of the priorities for Nintendo, would be to reduce the size of the power pack from the Wii, to the Wii U.

However, it appears that they have done the opposite, as you’ll see in the video that the console requires a gigantic power block, which really does no favors to the overall style of the console. We’re sure we speak for many gamers in saying that a big grey power block wasn’t really supposed to be a talking point about the Wii U, and although some of you may say that it doesn’t really matter – we think it does.

If smartphones are cutting back on size and weight on each release, why can’t we see the same with Nintendo’s big power blocks? There’s even a fairly sizable second power block, which is required for the GamePad as well.

Discuss. Are you offended by its girth?

 

[mrklaw]

See this is why sometimes the new news = new thread rule can backfire badly. Lottttttta shit Wii U threads clogging up the forum at the mo.

If people just let the shit threads die, we'd be fine. But instead they are kept at the top of the forum by people posting how outraged they are at the number of WiiU threads and how this one doesnt justify a new thread.

 

[ubercheez]

Purple Ps2 discs were awesome.

Except if you were having disc read errors. Purple discs were the bane there.

Damn, is that actually bigger than the 360 brick?

Also, I'm more intimidated than offended. That girth, indeed.

Apple to sue in 3, 2...

You're doing it wrong, this should have been a new thread.

sorry mate, new threads for new news

 

[ShinyBallBoy]

I'm pretty sure some BD and PS3 games have round edges too.

Halo 4 Disc 1 is also a bit round edged.

Kinda OT, but how cool were the black PS1 discs?

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Agreed.

New thread, Tak. Do it.
