I think it might be a good idea for me to play Saints Row 3 right now. (which just finished downloading 20min ago) I'm going to wait this one out for a week. I don't like the thought of having to redownlod over 300gb worth games again. #71
It's the direction the industry would be pushed in that worries me.
What's to stop that same interconnected (DRM) approach from being adapted to other media forms. The online Bluray players & TV's that we take for granted are nice. But having an internet requirement for either to function would be crossing line.
If we the consumer let Microsoft carry through with such policies without resistance, then we have no one blame but ourselves wh... #1.13.10
Come on Microsoft why you trying to remove yourself from the competition. Why are you doing this when all they have to do is fix your broken policies.
And to think I was looking forward to a rivalry that hadn't been seen since the 16bit days. I've tried to stay objective, but when you read about PR talk like that............ #61
More proprietary ports ugh!!! Now you can't even chat on a mike unless it's licensed. On the flip side, being able to use pretty any 3.5mm mike is a serious boon. #12
This rivalry has gotten fans throwing around terms like TFLOPs ROPs and ram specs like they truly understand their meaning. I say let the final product decide the outcome.
After both debut, the arguing can recommence. lol #43
I want to see the Xbox One improve on it's consumer policies not fail outright.
Competition is needed here folks. One or two consoles might not be enough to carry next gen onward. As obscured as the Xbox One's policies are. Their still needed from an industry standpoint. After all that's what rivals are for - pushing each other to new heights. #37
It makes sense that MS wouldn't allow coding to the metal. This time around it's components are more inline with what you would see on pc. They're OS could be exposed, that's why their running it through a virtual machine.
Sony's PS4 might well share the same the luxury that PS3 devs are afforded - the ability to code to the metal. #1.18.1
DDR4 is going to expensive for a while. And as I understand it, finding a processor and motherboard that works 100% with it will be your main hurdle atm.
Pffft And people say PS+ isn't worth the money. If you have a Vita PS3 & PS4, then Plus is more than worth the admission since it covers all three. #10
A disagree for wanting the the physical CD, that's just lame. Just so you know, the MP3 OST was a preorder bonus. Simply put, I want the audio CD for quality reasons. #5
If Microft want the the publics favor again, their going to have change or revise some policies. Them not not being transparent on certain issues is what allowed the situation to escalate. Had MS of clarified earlier those rumors would not of gained as much traction or relevance.
It just shows that with PR talk, what you don't say is just as important if not more so than what you do. #62

There is no wrong side it's just what your used to. #4.3

Steam has it easy right now. Just dealing with only the network end probably affords Valve more options. #1.10.1

Man... that's a whole new level of c**block there, real classy. #1.4
