This I agree with. Video stores should also work on the same principal. You just cruise down to the blockbuster with your thumbdrive look through the movie cases take them to the counter give them the thumbdrive which doubles as your membership card they load up and you go home.
To stop piracy they could just have it use a custom end rather than usb and give you a tv adapter when you sign up.
Sony probably would have sold an incredible amount of consoles if they had allowed vivid in.
More or less than the people that would boycott in outrage I do not know. Probably more if I had to wager a guess.
Can't alienate the family market though.
M$ is like this because they've been using the exact same closed circuit business model with windows for years and years to great success. More or less.
More increasingly over time.
I know there are differences as you can run your own code in windows but you do get warned not to in newer versions of windows. In windows seven you can't even run unsigned drivers. Which means you have to get drivers from a company that pays M$ to allow them.

Until the companies figure out they need to charge 5 or 10 percent less for digital copies of games than for real copies sold in stores digital distribution will never take off.
Their saving money from the production line to the clerk in the store.
They obviously see this savings in the gleeful greedy eyes of corporate profit. They don't have to cut out all the extra profit. They just need to give back to gamers for not having physical copies.
Everytime I...
Art is anything done creatively with skill.
I dare you to deny or disagree with that definition.
Though if you take up that dare you must take it up in the form of a reply that explains on what grounds your disagreeing.
lol a story about a comment made on n4g.
How amusing.
I wish nintendo would stop recycling it's games and come up with something new.
Who over there is sitting at the conference table and saying hey lets remake snes games but with better graphics.
Then everybody else at the table is like hey yeah that's safe and people are tools so they'll totally buy it. Needs to be beat with a wrench.
Nostalgia sells I guess.
Nintendo = one trick pony.
I'm not saying the games ...
They haven't released any details at all, but yes likely it will just be the steam updating and patching system.
If they ever do sell games digitally on the ps3 it will be through the ps store where steam would have it's own section.
I like running outside. Like down the sidewalk. I say hi and wave to people.
I don't know about doing it indoors, running on the spot.
Some one's going to sue microsoft after having a heart attack.
I called it first. You remember.
M$ Is all about the money making machines.
They are the very stereotypical big evil greedy corporation.
Same. I'd rather talk to the people I'm playing with in pretty much every game I play.
There was that one time though a friend just wanted to talk over mic and asked me to leave game.
Generally though if I'm playing a shooting game I'm talking tactics with my squad, if I'm racing I'm either not using the mic or smack talking. Why would I want to just chat with friends while I'm gaming. Get a phone.
They didn't say anything about steam being a part of plus.
For all anybody knows it could just be part of the regular psn.
cause every dumb ass out there loves call of duty and nintendo wants some of that pie
Or everybody should just get a bloody mic.
I know some people don't want to :'( but they really don't have a good reason why.
I never had interest in mics before this game. It's actually the only game I use my mic for.
This game without a mic is not fun to such a degree that I just wouldn't play it.
Probably why the player numbers are so low. Thousands of people bought it, played micless, then got irritated and bored and left.
activision are pro's at dead horse humping
Anything involving letting go of the controller while your playing is a fail.
Most of this stuff would be easier to do by hitting a button. Who wants to hit a button and make a gesture.
It's totally complicated and backwards.
Seriously it's just not going to happen. There won't be any 'hardcore' games for connect.
The most hardcore kind of game it would work for are games like heavy rain. Cinematic adventure type games. Which is a g...
yeah I was surprised by the third party support. Most of them are still just remakes of ps2 games though.
I'm just disappointed that nintendo will never have a new ip again.
LOL how do you disagree with that?
/logic fail
should be able to delete things after they get approved.
Gaming isn't art. Making games is an art form. Games are art.
They are a creative visual multi format medium for communicating thoughts and ideas.
Good luck not being closed minded. You apparently will need it for quite some time!
