GameFly, the worlds most popular mail based drug dealer (video games rental, same thing right?) has announced they opened a distribution center in Austin, TX.
Normally, this would mean faster shipping times for people who live nearby, however, since this is Texas, and EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas, instead of faster shipments, gamers will be recieving larger games. Thats right, the discs for your favorite systems will be between 3 to 5 times larger than normal.
What? Your system can't play gigantic discs? Well then maybe you should move to New York, sissy! We don't take kindly to your kind 'round here anyways.
Heres the details (thanks to Kotaku.com):
