Hilarious though, that we're MMORPG players who, once we buy the hard copy of the game, cannot lend it, re-sell it or play it round our mates (unless you get them to install it a day in advance) and we don't complain. We have to have an always on connection, and when our 'net goes down and we can't play, we don't rage at the PC manufacturers... Hell, we even pay £7.99 a month for the privilege.

Right, I pay for a service and game that is constantly updated and it doesn't bug me. It's like subscribing to a weekly journal or magazine. And I can still take my computer to my friends house and play the game if I desire.

But Console games typically don't offer such content upgrades, and when they DO, you pay for them as if you were buying a new game, albeit at a lower price point. This isn't even accounting for how many gamers DON'T play MMO's in part because they have no viable internet access. Teasing that we're not allowed to go 'hey that's not what consoles should be about/require' simply because we also happen to play MMO's is pointless.

I shouldn't have to 'rebuy' a game because I wish to take the game disk, and my saved character data and walk into my bedroom and continue playing it...so that my husband can play a different game on the xbox I had been playing on...or even so that my husband can watch tv.

Xbox/Microsoft...and the game developers pushing for this, just really didn't think things through.

I still have my old PS3 from like 5-6 years ago (80GB, Can play some PS1 discs, no PS2, can play blu-ray movies) and it is still working perfectly fine, lol. I am Definitely getting a PS4. Looking forward to Destiny and see how well FFXIV would look on the PS4 when that comes along with FFXV and quite a few other games.

Excited for the SE line-up. I haven't played a THIEF game in like, forever. Kinda interested to see SR4 in the lineup as well, wonder what SE did lol.

Looking forward to pretty much every PS4 game shown. The Crew looks very interesting, so does The Division. Doesn't take much to impress me. Gonna be a goooood Christmas.

Historically, almost every console has been sold at a loss, with the hope that the game sales will pull them out. ps1, ps2, ps3 all sold below cost. Nintendo, sega genesis, n64, the list goes on.

it was the words from a bunch of analist, it could be wrong. Anyways time will tell, sooner or later we'll find show much costs to build the machine.

I'm with you all the way, I was just taking the piss.

I wanted to watch the new ARR trailer on my TV last night for the bigger picture and the X360 was the most convenient way to do so. Apparently, you need to be a Gold Subscriber to use Internet Explorer now. It suddenly became more convenient to wait 60secs for my Win7 PC to boot up^^

What's your favorite PS4 gif? There are so many good ones.

The three console giants basically saw the same thing: customers were getting ready to break up with them. They were getting too clingy, too costly, they weren't very fun anymore, and they just couldn't be trusted. Hysterically, all three companies basically engaged in the same behavior people do when a relationship is in danger.

Microsoft got insecure and domineering... it didn't want you sharing things with your friends, it started following you around and listening in on your conversations... checking if you lied about how many people were really at your "party"

Sony just wanted to make things right. It knows the gaming industry is making some mistakes right now, but baby, it can change! It'll be like it used to be, but better!

Nintendo... did what it always does when it thinks you're going to break up with it. It just told you, "Whatever, baby. Call me when you get your head together." and started working on the next Pokemon game, because you'll come back. You always come back.



I love that Sony's response to Microsoft is basically, "Look at how you're trying to solve your problems by making them worse! That's pretty funny!" while doing its best to make consoles relevant in 2014. Personally, I think they made a pretty good case for getting a PS4. It's about the price of a modest PC upgrade and will see you through the next generation of console/system exclusives without getting all anti-consumerist on you. I'm sold. Bring on that XV and KH3!

This so deserves a quote
It sums up what I have seen of E3
