I doubt you'd have to; my guess is that you'd have an user account which would keep track of what you've purchased, and would allow you to re-download the stuff at your leisure in case you had to make room or something broke. That's the logical way of doing this, at least.

Slight bump for some information I'd like to share.

On the Bemanistyle forums, there's a guy who found out from a Nintendo rep at Gamestop that Nintendo won't release anything official about Revolution until all of the PS3 specs are finalized and put out for public display. When Sony will do that, neither of them really knew, but in all likelihood it will come soon. From what I've heard, this is because of the fact that Sony stole the analog stick idea after Nintendo released its information about the N64 controller way back when. I personally think it should come within the next couple of months, seeing as how the TGS is coming up relatively soon, and M$'s presence is still Sony's main concern. It's actually as if M$ and Nintendo are both working together to force Sony's hand.

Also, I've been seeing some rather interesting pictures of an...accessory, I guess you could say, for the Rev. Although a lot of people have debunked the notion of these pictures, they show a shot of the Rev, with a sort of racing helmet sitting next to it, with a visor that covers the eyes. Now, I don't know whether it's true or not, but if it is, and Nintendo can show that the idea wouldn't be another Virtual Boy, then it could very well be revolutionary, as N is claiming it is. But if this isn't it, then what will be this revolutionary idea? I'm reading a ton of hints that are being dropped about it by Miyamoto, but I can't seem to put them all together.

There's been a bunch of those virtual reality pictures circulated around the net. Most people, including myself, are willing to pass those off as fake. A good idea, but likely fake.

That would be so cool though. As for downloading I imagine it works similar to Video On Demand with digital cable/satellite systems. You buy the movie and it gets 'streamed' to your box. Their system keeps track of it all, and every time you want to watch it within the designated time period, you download it again. (Though Revolution would probably have some form of storage so you needn't re-download every game every time you play them; cable/satellite systems don't because it would make piracy too easy.) That also raises the question of whether we'll be able to rent games through that system too?

And what's that Kanji say on the devkit? Fire-power-something-electricity?
