I think it's pretty much the exact same thing that "killed the retail music business". Why buy a CD when you can just access whatever you want, whenever you want, and at a reasonable price.

It's far more convenient. You download games to your PC and then play them right then and there. With music you download the songs and dump 'em onto your MP3 player. Simple. It's no coincidence that CDs are being phased out right along with PC games on retail shelves.

If your avatar makes me hungry does that mean I'm gay? I passed the fingernail test but this one's really got me stymied.

There you go again with your "fair and balanced" nonsense. You disgust me!

I'm sure the next system won't have a ring, in any form whatsoever, displayed on the console.

The only news I see there is that there actually is a "hott" MS exec. I need a name, man, give me a name!

I, sir, am an Apple fanatic and I must say... ok you've got a point. Back to the comments.

I miss MS-DOS 5.0. DOS Shell was the bizomb back in the day.

"Ps3 on the other hand it can be a sleep over console but its more of a "Me" console as in only time I play with other people is online."

Alright Coolrah, I respect your opinion, but you've just pointed out one of the PS3's few weak points IMO. The PC is a "Me" console, the PS3 is a "Me" console, and the 360 is a "Me and My Friends" console. So you prefer a "Me" + "Me" combo over a "Me" + "Me a...

Actually, Sony's last resort would have to be taking a cue from Sega and going software only, hardware agnostic. I don't see this ever happening though, Sony is a hardware company first and foremost.

There are clear adavantages to losing money on the hardware in order to make up profits on software. In this regard Sony has an advantage over MS and Nintendo because they're not only selling games for the PS3, but also BR movies. Pretty much everyone has several DVD players in the...

Except that there is a big difference between "losing a little market share" and being a completely useless piece of trash. The 3DO isn't the greatest analogy unless you're comparing it to the CD-i. Imagine a world without that mistake, Nintendo Playstation anyone?

Oh, my bad. carry on.

The company's website states that the tech they've been working on has been specifically focused on the PS3. The news value here is that they've supposedly decided to branch out and apply that tech to the 360. Of course this would probably seem more news worthy if we had some specific games to reference for examples of their tech in action.

this isn't nearly as incendiary as alot of flamers would like to make it out to be. After perusing the company's website it appears as though they're similar to Epic with their Unreal Engine (minus any actual in-house games). They've put together an impressive team from the industry and have been putting together some supposedly impressive tech initially focused on the PS3. Now they are apparently branching out to the 360, which is a pretty decent business strategy.

Whether or ...

Montrealien, it's people like you with your "fun times" "enjoyment" based mentality that are destroying gaming as we know it. How dare you peddle your pro-pleasure agenda across the interweb.

Video games are not meant for fun, but rather must be utilized to elevate ignorant rants and ridiculous world views to the forefront of society. Close-minded tirades are the only way true gaming theology can be effectively conveyed.

How dare you sir! How ...

So insightful and objective. The only thing your post lacks is some BBQ based c@ck & b@lls, oh wait, there they are.

hopefully there is some retroactivity involved. It'd be kind of cool to pick up some stuff from past games. It probably won't happen though for anything other than Halo or Fable.

but bragging rights none the less.

Free games would be cool, but I'll be really happy even to be able to unlock junk for my avatar. I think it'd be nice to have some duds to show off my achievements rather than some numbers.
