  1. Seriously Microsoft, this is not helping you sell your new product (CNet)
  2. It comes down to who is dictating the terms of your gaming. With XB1, Microsoft is changing things by taking up that task themselves. It's the platform dictating the terms of what you can and cannot or must do with your games. With PS4, Sony is keeping things the same by letting the publisher spell out the terms, i.e., the platform is just that, a platform, nothing more.
  3. So there's no real change in what we have now or what PC gamers have dealt with for years. Microsoft basically bundled the DRM SDK into their platform while Sony left it up to publishers to implement their own DRM.
  4. I think this Forbes article nicely sums up everything Microsoft did wrong yesterday. Just like they did with Windows 8 (as well as Windows 8.1), Microsoft didn't really listen and it's gonna bite them in the ass hard. A $500 console vs a $400 console? Sony wins with no contest. If Microsoft's DRM policies didn't drive people away, that price tag will. Having big name games won't help if no one wants to buy your console.
  5. I don't recall hearing anything about multiple editions. The only special edition I heard about was the "Day One" exclusive edition for anyone that pre-orders. Comes with the extras but that's all.
  6. I guess box is the new sexy in gaming consoles. Props to Sony for giving Microsoft the finger. It won't shock me if Microsoft decided to alter some of its restrictions by next month to duel with Sony.
  7. You must be one of the lucky ones. Anyways, Sony is up. They're highlighting PS3 and Vita at the moment.
  8. Guess you haven't used Origin. This is EA. They'll find a way to get your monies.
  9. Unfortunately, us PC gamers usually get screwed when Microsoft decides to play games when it comes to Xbox. There's a good chance they will come to PC and that's great but they tend to be console-ports and we've been burned too many times to believe Microsoft.
  10. Sony's presentation is at 1720 PST today. We'll see what they have to show.
  11. E3 news: Microsoft keynote: -Xbox 360 is being updated with new design to match slim design of Xbox1 along with new hardware. Available today. -Xbox Live Gold will offer 2 free games/month starting July 2013. First games released are Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3. -Microsoft Points is ending in favor of real money. -Studio Uploads game DVR allows you to store and upload gameplay vids. -$499 USD, available in November 2013. Preorders at some retailers are up.
  12. As I was staring at the Wii U display, I thought to myself, if Nintendo had better games and publishers under their belt, they would be a viable alternative to the crap coming out from Microsoft's ass. I guess we'll find out more about Sony's response to Microsoft's crap at E3 this week.
  13. Those of you going to see Man of Steel: Exclusive: First Trailer From The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug Will Be Attached To Man Of Steel
  14. FYI, Vepariga is talking about these pics: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/new-transformers-4-set-images-featuring-new-vehicles-177588/
