Nokia bied ngage games online aan

this was their intention all along, hence the original N-Gage's lack of an external card slot and the stripped-down nature of the launch games (for example Pandemonium had almost all its sound files removed for its N-Gage port). Stripped-down games would have been easier to fit on the 128 megabyte MMCs that were common at the time, and with downloads the external slot issue wouldn't have mattered at all and the MMC card would have been well protected.

But when the download idea was discussed in interviews in 2003, Nokia implied that they were pressured by third party game makers into distributing on physical cards. The third party publishers seem to have been worried that a downloads-only format would be more vulnerable to piracy.

maar tering zeg die prijzen! en dan heb je er niet eens zo'n leuk hoesje bij

Ik las het als Nokia Slave Market... Prijzen zouden wel in 2'en minimaal geknipt mogen worden. Voor deze prijzen heb je ze ook compleet, desnoods koop je ze origineel en dan download je gewoon een ali-illegali-versie. Heb je hetzelfde, maar wel met doosje en boekje...

Leuk idee, belachelijke prijzen.

Idd, beetje jammer. Zoals al eerder gezegd, voor dat geld koop ik ze wel in den winkel met doos + boekje.
