I think I broke my hand with that facepalm.

Although I did like this image in response to it:

Produit placement is one thing, if well done you barely notice it.

Yeah, in something like, say, Secret World (mmo) or GTA or other modern setting series - I'd be utterly fine with subversive hip product placement on billboards, holo-ads in the game, etc.

Stop a game I have already *purchased* to force me to watch? Don't start the game without viewing commercials first? Watch how fast that game will be ripped out of my system. Now a F2P? Meh, if they think it'll survive player response, sure.
Just warning advertisers right now...

I wonder if whoever thought this up has a death wish. The only thing greater than a woman's scorn, is a gamer's scorn.

Combine that with the whole "no used games" rumor that's going on for the next XBox and Playstation, and you've basically just had the console industry commit suicide. The smart developers will continue to just make PS3/WiiU/360 games, as they'll be the last consoles anyone buys.

From what I have read it is far from a rumour and it would not only affect used games, suppose your console breaks down and even if your warranty is stil valid and you get a new piece of hardware for free, ALL of your game collection will not work in the new piece of hardware, ok, maybe they will let you play the demo and maybe they will give you a discount on the purchase of the same games you already own. As they say "Greed is good, and now it is legal".

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

Having digital only consoles, and say ads in demos and F2Pmstuff I could see. Invasive ads in purchased stuff no l, I don't want to see. Losing your collection because of a console fault I don't see. That is a critical fault and would have government regulators dropping on them like a ton of bricks for anti-consumer practices or whatever it is called. They would be forced to patch it out.

I would see it like this; the games would be bound to your account, presumably download-only consoles would require always on connections, so you'd have a limit of probably 5 times you can bind your account to a console in one life time - the same as Apple let's you with iTunes accounts. But like Steam and Origin you can only be logged into one at a time. getting around that would result in the usual bannings and loss of games.

Why would this discourage you from getting a PS3? This wouldn't go into effect until the PS4 at earliest, so if there's games you want to play or to have a good blu-ray player or whatever, this shouldn't stop you.

The system is more than 5 years old at this point. Any boycott as a form of protest would be meaningless. They won't "hear" you disagreeing with their motives. So there's really no reason to deny yourself if there were games you wanted.

In fact, it'd be a stronger voice to buy a PS3, and not a PS4. Then the numbers between the systems would be ever so slightly larger.

^ Buying a new PS3 still represents profits for sony, so want it or not you are supporting the company that will bring on the "no used games" fiasco. My suggestion is to buy a good used PS3, and only buy used games, that way Sony wont get a cent >_<

Meh, I prefer not to punish someone or something for something that they haven't done yet. It is, after all, only a rumor at the moment. Granted there's a basis in the rumor, but until it actually gets confirmed it'd be beyond childish to punish them for it. Complain, send emails, etc if you want, but a boycott seems rather... eh.

Plus, buying everything used to spite them just enhances their own argument for why they would need to do such a thing in the first place.

Used games have existed since the atari 2600 game console hit the market in 1977, doing away with them is just an excuse (as in, it does not matter whether the used game market grows or shrinks in 2012) to increase their profits, with the sales in the video games market in the billions of dollars there is no valid reason to say they are in a crisis that requires such measures. Punishing them now that the ps4 hasn't hit the market might get them to rethink their strategy from a "can do no harm" to "better stop this before it blows in our faces" to lure irate buyers into the new generation.

^ Hey seņor, I can sell you a cold 3 lts coca cola bottle, cheap, 20 dollars. <--- for those who do not understand the joke, making something people are used to consuming illegal only makes it more profitable.

Thing is, it doesn't make that much soda illegal. It just makes it so you can't put it all in one container. You can still easily buy 3 cans at 12oz each, but not a singular 32oz cup, despite that being less soda.
