Of course, all that effort was like, totally worth it if it meant you got to adopt your very own baby, complete with mail-away birth certificate that listed your name as the proud parent.

In an effort to reduce piracy and lower production costs, Nintendo opted instead for miniDVD, also known as a microdisk. Unfortunately, this plan ultimately backfired. The smaller disk naturally had a smaller storage capacity (1.5 GB compared to proper 4 GB DVD’s). This meant that FMV scenes and audio were more compressed to fit on a single disc, reducing their quality and giving the PS2 and Xbox the edge in terms of what they could include on a disc.

After the polarizing inclusion of the Arbiter in Halo 2, Приветственный депозит каждому it was great to play through a campaign as Master Chief again, but Halo 3 also gave the Arbiter his due with its cooperative play, with support for up to four players.

Some games are ripped from the read-only memory (ROM) of old 1970s and '80s game cartridges and converted to binary so that they can be distributed digitally.
