it looks like the competiton is rough around the edges

 

[bobawesome]

U know disk, Wii really are the smoothest of us.

2/10

 

[Schreckstoff]

Only the outer edge or both. the inner edge always bothered me more handling discs but that is a thing for the past for me already anyways.

 

[Jonnax]

So people with Wii Us, how do you rate the smoothness?

 

[SalvaPot]

Its the little details, it feels so gooooood.

Did you even bother to read the article?

Man, that's amazing, these simple paint skills our ancestors had. Archaeology always fascinates me.

 

[Weevilone]

The Wii U disks were rounded by being fondled by GameStop employees before being re-shrinked.

 

[grap3fruitman]

This is the only charming thing about the Wii U.

 

[Flandy]

My mind has been blown. Wii U purchase vindicated

 

[ugh_the_boot]

BD discs have always been like this lol. I've got heaps of bluray documentaries and movies that have rounded edges. Haven't noticed on Ps3 or 4 but definately on movie discs.

Why the fuck did I laugh at that?

 

[Lazulic]

thatll save the wiiu

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I can't tell you how many times I've slashed open my fingers and had to rush to the ER by handling game discs. Thank god for this miraculous feature.

Fixed.

 

[ekgrey]

i just got my Wii U today! this is actually really cool. gotta say though, i find it kinda funny that Nintendo is still using proprietary formats in 2015.

 

[NAPK1NS]

Why the fuck did I laugh at that?

I smiled when I typed it. Really not funny, posted then immediately cried in front of the mirror.

 

[n0razi]

so the money they could've used for a half decent online-eshop experience, they spend on making discs more comfortable to hold

I dropped a ps4 game disc on my dog and cut it in half. RIP Sir. Woofington.

Non of my blurays are smooth like this.

What's a disc?

I have never seen a blu ray disk that has had a rounded edge like Wii U disks.

 

[Fox Mulder]

wait the U doesn't use bluray, wtf nintendo?

Are they cheap, greedy or dumb?

It is bluray, they just can't call it that since they opted to not pay the licensing fees.

 

[Schryver]

All 3 probably

 

[Log4Girlz]

Its a weapon. Rygar used one to destroy his enemies.

How does that work bluray isn't just a trademark, I just read panasonic made the discs and they hold a share of the BluRay foundation but I'm still curious just how that works.

Also it's not like the Wii U is cheap, I'd still have to fork over €279 for a bundle.

 

[Derphoof]

I.. I didn't know anyone else actually noticed this....

 

[Futureman]

This is why I game on Nintendo 'NUFF SAID.

 

[Lionel Richie]

He was a little round around the edges
Simple in mind, oh, oh

 

[ArcLyte]

Nintendo's done a lot of interesting stuff with the Wii U with regards to is game disks as well as the OS. It's unlike any other game system OS, each disk contains a segment of the OS due to the fact that the OS is not running while a game is running. The Wii U also has a dedicated processor just for running the OS called the IOS internally.

Tron did it before it was cool.

 

[Aeriscloud]

Wait, where is Ninjablade to tell us all how sharp edges are better?

It's a thing that allows u 2 sell gaem if u don't liek

 

[Warewolf]

Those artisanal Blu ray discs.

 

[Yudoken]

What are those "disc's" you're talking about .
No, seriously, why is this a thread worthy?

 

[kitschbeam]

Neato.

 

[Hasney]

This is why I love the Wii U. The only console with discs as smooth as Hasney.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

U know disk, Wii really are the smoothest of us.

Don't worry, TI82 will probably beat him to it

 

[Masked Man]

Since I've been swapping between Captain Toad and Smash U quite a bit as of late, I've really come to appreciate the simple, smooth comfort of these rounded edges. A nice touch by Nintendo.

 

[Jintor]

Miss u chickdigger rip

 

[AdanVC]

Ohhhh so that's why discs feels so smooth when I grab them *spends 5 minutes admiring the MK8 disc*

 

[The Spoony Hou]

I don't see why having a proprietary format leads you to call them any of those things.

 

[Schreckstoff]

I don't see why having a proprietary format leads you to call them any of those things.

Pachter estimated MS paying to $2 to $3 royalties per unit to Sony (technically wrong since sony doesn't own bluray) but you get the point it isn't a lot.

The Wii U wasn't cheap in the first place, especially not considering its performance leaving out a feature like BluRay playback is just cheap.

 

[Mistle]

I always think of this thread when I handle Wii U discs. OP got made fun of but I always knew it was thread worthy.

 

[Khaos_Knight]

wait the U doesn't use bluray, wtf nintendo?

Are they cheap, greedy or dumb?

Nah just arrogant as usual but at least it has a good capacity. 25GB is definitely enough to last Nintendo until the end of the generation.

You're like.. 3 years late to the party dude, but nice try.

Bullshit, PS4 doesn't have any games until 2015.
