Although I know that without such a decision we would not have the RIS & CyberMaster, I'm a bit worried about LEGO thinking it can sell us software bundled with some parts and think we will give them the value they ask for it.
I'm thinking in the expansion sets for RIS, the future Mars Exploration pack and the CyberMaster expansion.
I only hope they include some new hardware/sensors in it or they will not sell anything!! (Hello!?? are you reading this?)
