I caught this news post on the NGX Facebook pages this AM on my way to work! Colour me surprised! I knew the games were coming, and I had my hopes that it'd at least be nice presentation. Granted, I'm still not keen on the box art, but the mega pack is a really pleasant surprise! Both in that they actually did one, and the intriguing idea of 'bonus items' whatever those actually end up being. Makes me happy I've not actually put money down on the individual packs, because the Mega Pack is much more bang for the buck, by the looks of it! Anyone able to find what that one actually costs, or know what they mean when they say 'Bonus Items'? Gonna be getting this and finding out, either way!
Now here's the multi-million dollar question I want to get an answer to, regarding the save feature of the update. It says that save support will be given from the patch for Existing and upcoming games. This is the only feature I wanted more than the video output fix. I presume that means the built-in and games on the pack! So if it's a broad thing, I wonder if games loaded from a modded SD card will also save...

So pumped for the Mega Pack! Not on Amazon yet. Wonder what it will cost? Also, no mention of what firmware updates include on the FAQ. What's listed in the press release has my balls tingling though.

Nor I! No Amazon links or anything. Still a deal, if it's 80$, compared to 25$ x 5 purchases!

This is exciting news! I canceled my pre-order for vol.5 and I'm going to "convince" my wife to pre-order the Mega Pack for Fathers Day . I can't wait to see what the bonus goodies are, and the cable is just icing on the cake! On a side note, I really wish they would finally confirm exactly what the firmware update is going to include. |
