In the old days of gaming when you could by PC games from 20-40. They all came with little knick knacks. cloth/paper maps, story books, mouse pads..... as these were dropped I noticed people were less inclined to buy new. Theres something to be said for bonus items that people may actually want or have use for.
Obviously console games never had this. Except in the rare case.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
