I agree urwifeminder I too want the future tech but I also want one that doesn't restrict my gaming rights with DRM, online checkin and kinect that has to remain plugged in.
Guess that means a PS4, maybe a WIIU or even a PC but no way in hell an xbox
I don't think anyone is afraid of change, I have seen many things come and go in gaming but when a change happens it is for the better in what way is anything M$ trying to pull better for gamers, this is about pure greed nothing else.
I have said I buy my games new don't trade but guess what any company trying this will never see a penny from me and i'm sure there are many people who will do the same.
Hell if I'm going to just give my rights a...
Fox you have to be a M$ shill, no sane person would defend the crap M$ are pushing onto gamers no matter what games are on their new system.
I only buy games new and my internet is decent, but why the hell would I hand over my rights to a company especially one as greedy M$.
M$ are the last people I would trust and the fact their greed makes them push these stupid restrictions on gamers proves it, I thought paying for online was bad enough and would take no part but the crap they are peddling now really is unbelievable.
No sane person would defend this those that do are either fanboys or are paid ...
you mean me putting up my old car in part exchange for a new one is stealing?
M$ are simply trying to control gaming pure and simple,If anything it is M$ trying to steal our rights, don't accept it people!!!!!!
Well said Tyre bubble for you.
'A true gamer wouldnt even rent or buy 2nd hand games'
Well i'm a true gamer then as I only buy new and don't even trade them, but they have no chance of me buying more if they put restrictions on my purchase and try to control gaming the way M$ are doing, no gamer with an ounce of common sense should put up with it.
A true gamer would not defend M$ appalling DRM etc policies, your a fanboy so I don't expect anything better from you but all true gamers should never accept the crap M$ are trying to peddle.
I buy all my games new and don't trade them either but there is no way I can support any form of DRM, giving more control to corporations will not lead to a better gaming experience but almost certainly to a more expensive and convoluted one if M$ get their way.
Part of the charm of console gaming is it's simplicity, buy a game put it in and you know it will work apart from online in M$ case unless you subscribe to gold which is just more money grabbing by M$.

Well said C0MPUT3R any game using drm will not see a penny from me, if everyone had the same attitude this nonsense would end very quickly, this is a fight to keep gaming for gamers we should all stick together on this.
It was always pretty obvious to me, M$ certainly like to hide behind smoke and mirrors.
typical M$ in my view.
While playing Warhawk, Holding the middle ground in a tank in a game we were dominating I got bored and took a pot shot at a Warhawk dogfighting far far away in the distance, I actually took him out lol,
Oh how I wished I could have shared that moment.
Not the only advantage with all the crap M$ are trying to force on gamers.
Why would any logical person accept this?
Just say no people!!!!!!!!
Well said Apocalypse Shadow, paying for online and the rest was just asking for more, like you I would never support any company that put restrictions on my gaming in any way EA and the rest never saw a penny from me, if only every consumer was that smart no way would this be happening,
I hope gamers come together on this and send a clear message that we will never accept this..
Anyone that buys into these ridiculous anti consumer practices M$ are trying to force on the gaming community are doing gaming no favours, there really is no excuse except greed, I would never pay for online because it is a green light for yet more of the same as M$ is showing, I would urge anyone who loves gaming not to accept this nonsense and tell M$ or any other company that tries to restrict our gaming to just say no and refuse to buy their product, if that happens these companies would ...
Exactly how I see it too, surely gamers are not going to fall for it, especially now M$ are not even confident enough to answer questions about their new console.
Shame on you M$.
A well thought out design with ease of development a huge focus that will really reap huge dividends as far as software support goes, as long as online remains free with no DRM then I will certainly be buying one.
Just to clear up his statement about being clearer, roughly translated it means how much crap like DRM always online etc can we get away with, once we figure that out we will then be clear.
So? Geikai adds value it doesn't take it away, unlike M$ who forces you to pay for online adding DRM and the rest of the crap M$ are pushing, i'll keep my consumer rights and stick with PS4 thank you very much.
