Thought of the Day: Xbox 360 DRM

Why is it that when a PC game comes out with DRM on it everybody blows a fuse, but when a game releases to XBLA, nobody gripes about the DRM?

"Why is it that when a PC game comes out with DRM on it everybody blows a fuse, but when a game releases to XBLA, nobody gripes about the DRM?"

What kind of question is that? Its obvious, becuase those complaining can't pirate the game on PC. Xbox LIVE is like that so you won't see problems like the PS3 popping up where people "share" their downloads on up to 5 consoles.

Although I would like to have that on the Xbox 360 becuase I as well have more than one 360 in the house (for my brother), Microsoft will never allow it becuase of the potential money that could be lost.

I hate it when you 'own' 2 xbox 360's, and you have to have 2 gold accounts, dl stuff 2

and so on...

militant075385d ago

if he 'own' the both consoles,

he can carry his account using memory card and download his stuffs on both consoles, he will still able to use them as long as his account on the console.

"Xbox LIVE is like that so you won't see problems like the PS3 popping up where people "share" their downloads on up to 5 consoles."

What are you talking about, Sony actually promotes game sharing. They say it's for those with multiple consoles like your current predicament and so tha you can share with friends. Noting that they mean real friends that you can trust with such information, not people you simply met in an online game.

How is that a bad feature? I love that I can buy a game off PSN and play it with a friend without them having to buy the game and without sony penalizing us for it.

There IS an actual structure to it as well since sony completely controls what games you can share with their 1 day block between consoles of content that they don't want shared. It's made so that if you have to use a different PS3, like yours broke or you're out of town, you can then play your downloaded games on the new console and if you try to play on the old console you have to wait 1 day or more for it to work on that console again.

It's a great system if your PS3 breaks, gets stolen or something like that.

FamilyGuy: I agree. Sony's game sharing up to 5 consoles makes MS's DRM look draconian in comparison.

@militant07

Okay, so if I put my stuff on a memory card, and try to put it on another console, I can't use both accounts at the same time, and I also have to redownload

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood23m ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
