Not too thrilled on the always-on Xbox, wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft changes this feature before launch and is simply testing the degree of backlash, because more than half of gamers despise this feature. Either way, I see zero reason to get this thing over a gaming PC.

PS4... meh. The PS3 will be more than adequate for years.

don't they realize the market is getting older and has shit like car payments, student loan payments, rent, mortgages, health care bills, girlfirends, wives and children now and they aren't just fapping money away on games

i mean i guess there's always a new generation of males aged 14-25 but with all the other shit these damn kids can get these days, is a console that important to them?

i dunno fuck this shit, i'm gettin my PC on. sayonara, dicks.

i cant find the article that said 100 dollars for games so hopefully it was wrong.

i did just read this... From now on online multiplayer gaming on the PS4 will require a $50 annual subscription to PlayStation Plus

yeah that trailer looks pretty choice. I hate it when E3 videos look a billion times better than the game ever will though. I'm excited about Mirror's Edge 2

Game trailers are stupid. Whether you're into gameplay or graphics. Cause neither is depicted

what is this 24 hour suicide check

why are they trying to kill the secondary market, don't they realize this drives consumers away instead of what they want, force them to buy new? it also encourages piracy and hacking.

If your Xbox One doesn't check in online once every 24 hours, then you can't game.

They're trying to kill the secondary market because the industry believes that used games are depriving game companies of income that should rightfully be theirs. It doesn't matter what consumers think or want, the bottom line is, when you sell a game to a place like GameStop, GameStop sells the used game and doesn't pay the publisher a dime for it. The industry HATES that. So they've taken steps to make used games less appealing (e.g.: making Catwoman in Arkham City, content that was originally supposed to be in game from the get-go, DLC via an one-time-use unlock code that only comes packed with new copies of the game, meaning if you have a used copy of Arkham City and want to play the Catwoman levels, then you have to pay $10 extra for the privilege).

Ideally, the industry wants to do away with packaged games altogether. They want everything to be either downloaded or streamed, with a monthly charge for that privilege. Sorta like a hybrid of Steam and Netflix.

do they? it doesn't really sound like they're moving towards that by trying to destroy the secondary market, since streaming services like steam effectively does this

i mean i'm completely down with destroying gamestop but i think consumers have the right to a secondary market for basically everything #craigslist

Not if the game companies can help it. All the "secondary market" is to game companies is a money siphon. That and an all download/streaming game service would eliminate the production costs of physical games.

For similar reasons, console companies (Nintendo to an extent excluded) claim that people don't care about backward compatibility. They're using that excuse as a smokescreen just to get the people who do care about playing their old games (and there are a lot of us) to buy them again via download. There's no profit in making their consoles backward compatible. Just make the idiots buy their old games again, or make them keep their old consoles around, which can get kinda inconvenient and clunky for the average consumer.
