You are trying way too hard to make this about Sony versus Xbox. The real war is ownership versus renting. People can defend whatever company however they want and dress it and spin it to make one sound better than the other all day long. It's not going to matter.
What is going to matter to me, and long time gamers that have been gaming since Atari 2600 and the Odyssey 2 console wars, is if I will be able to play this stuff 20 years down the road.
MS...
A fanboy of not buying into next Gen requirements? Sure. If that helps you sleep at night.
I'm a fanboy of being able to play my games I buy 15-20 years down the road. I don't give a crap if it's Sony, ms, Nintendo, or Sega. I just want to own my games. Keep trolling bro. Hahaha, the Barbarian has spoken.
You're way off there man. Competition breeds better games.
Look at Madden. No competition for nearly 10 years and the game is stagnate. Sure they do little things to keep the fans happy but without another football game on the market they don't have to try at all.
I'd hate to see that happen with consoles. You'd see one company releasing mediocre games...a lot like what happened with PS2 and later with the Wii. One console dominating usua...
You get to keep your games when Xbox Live Gold runs out too.
I'm playing NBA 2k13 right now. Great game!
Sony has left it up to 3rd parties how they want to handle DRM. I play primarily sports titles and those are the ones that get the most flack for online passes. I'm going to wait and see how it all unfolds.
EA got rid of online passes when they thought Xb one was a DRM/anti-used game console but now Xbox changed their minds. EA can just as easily change their minds.
As far as PSNplus, you don't get to keep the games you are getting for "free...
I'm still waiting for clarifications in Sony's camp as well. For the first time since Sega Master System versus Nintendo Entertainment System I'll be watching on the sidelines to see exactly how it all pans out.
Seems to me both camps are trying to sell us a glorified rental system and I don't like it. Goes for both Xbox Live and PSN plus.
The thing that makes 360 awesome are all the HD Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast games available on Xbox Live.
There is a reason 3 never came to the U.S. It sucks. I love the first two and pretend this doesn't exist. Golden Axe Warrior on the Master System is a decent Zelda style game from Sega. I pretend that game is part 3.;)
It's about time.
Thing is though, when my Live runs out I can still play my free downloads...Gears, Carcassonne, Fable 3, Fallout 3, Sega Tennis, Vanquish, and others I picked up along the way during giveaways or promotions. Now they're giving two away a month. No renting.
Gamefly is $100 a year. Rent anything you want. Ps plus is $50 a year to rent old games. Doesn't seem all that awesome when you look at it like that.
Would be nice to own them. Also mine don't work unless I'm always online. Ihate the future of gaming. Eventually they're going to do away with boxed games that I like to collect. Nice rental service though...
I'm just glad Madden wasn't on the list...
That was about as informative as a fortune cookie I broke apart today.
Run up the hill to sweat and burn calories.
Focus on maintaining your form.
I bubble you up all the time man, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
How does sound get 4\10 when it has one of the best sound tracks in all of gaming? Yuzo koshiro rocked the mega drive/genesis
Has the vita been hacked to play emulators yet?
Something that uses the aki engine again...wwf no mercy, def jam ny, wrestlemania 2000, nwo revenge, and muscle league.
I downloaded Vanquish a few months ago and it doesn't work without internet. I'll try to download it again maybe Sony fixed the issue. Not sure.
I just know I downloaded it and took my PS3 to try it out at work and it wouldn't load up. I just deleted it and haven't messed with it since. I think it was April when I downloaded it. This is the error code I get:
80029564 error
It took so long to download and install and when it didn...
