Nintendo Files Patent For a Console Without the Optical Disk (But has a Card Slot)

[Zkuq]

I think the thing that should be focused on here is the ridiculous patent system that allows patenting stuff like that. A console with no optical drive and possibly a card slot instead is not an innovation.

Also, I don't care what they use, as long as it works and I own the games I buy. That's in practice of course, because in theory I don't own the games I buy even now (licences and all).
