Customer-hating maneuvers like this make me somewhat thankful that I play indie games more than mainstream stuff. |

It's also funny that people's argument when I asked "what if my internet goes down for more than 24 hours, and I want to play my Xbox One?" consists mostly of "read a book, play a sport, get a life". Sure, I should go reading a book when I want to play my game .
Actually, I think I should just use that money to buy some books instead.

Yeah, indeed idiotic. You can lend a game to a friend (so long as they are on your friends list for 30 days or more)...but, it is a one time thing only. Once it is passed along once, it can never be passed along again. Bravo, MS. Ya jerks.

Oh yeah. Forgot about that for a bit. The XBox One has so many strikes against it. The PS4 should not be as restrictive and not be as bad with the DRM. On top of this, PS4 is supposed to be a significantly more capable machine (in terms of power and performance). On top of that, the gap between XBO and PS4 may widen further, as the XBO is having production yield problems with a hardware component and it is possible MS may have to underclock a part (the CPU or GPU, I forgot which) in order to meet a fall launch of the system.

It's just all so ridiculous I can barely believe it all. Yet, this is reality.
An interesting point I read was on XBox Live getting hacked the way the PSN was a while back. That kills the servers for long enough everyone's system turns into a useless piece of junk until they get them fixed.

And as they said this won't have a cost by them, so in a way you can use that to sell the game to that person. The person pays you and then you give the license. Although then in turn won't be able to do that anymore. Also seems like it's a option that each publisher c an negate if they want.

I wouldn't be so quick to put all your eggs in the PS4's basket, we've not gotten all the information about the PS4, for all we know the DRM measures could be worse. If that turns out to be the case, it is a sad day for gamers.

I highly doubt Sony employees are hardcore loyal to the company.

"Hey man, look at what Microsoft is doing!" "He's putting on... wait a minute, isn't that the PR suicide bomb vest we had on for the PS3?" "Sure looks like it, and he's putting TWO of them on at the same time!" If you're Sony, are you gonna join in with MS or high tail it out of that building? |

I'm sure Sony will have it so that PS4 has some DRM measures for disc based PS4 games. But the DRM restrictions that XBO has are several in number and really bad. It is very unlikely that PS4 will be even worse with it, and especially so since Sony is observing just how bad of a backlash MS is getting after the XBO unveil. Who in the world would expect Sony to then proceed to reveal that the PS4 will have even worse DRM restrictions than the XBO? And another thing that is better about the PS4 is how they aren't really pushing EyeToy nearly as much as MS is pushing Kinect, and we should have no worries about EyeToy needing to be always connected and always on for the PS4. No one should expect Sony to copy that bonehead move MS is making with the Kinect and the XBO, especially after seeing the backlash people have given to that thing in particular. You could make a delicious Steam omelet with cheese, peppers, sausage, and frequent and wallet-pleasing game sales.

Much as I fear for the long term outlook for the PC platform, with tablets eating into PC market share and, well, Microsoft (I like what I've seen of Linux but it's best suited for people who don't care about running a whole lot of software I use), I still think the longevity of the PC as a platform is more secure than that of any console.
