"minor restrictions" - seriously?

Microsoft's current policies ensure that you own nothing. Your ability to game and what you do with that game are entirely controlled by M$. Their DRM ensures that.

And the same goes for the console itself. You say M$ offers "lot of game support". We're talking about a company that yanked all original Xbox support the minute the 360 rolled out the door. Should they re...

That would be awesome.

I've been playing Super Metroid again recently and find myself just as immersed now as I was back in the early 90's. Incredible game.

Would love to see an HD variation (heck, 2D or 3D Metroid would be great by me).

"I keep the balance around here or at least open mindedness"

Have you ever read your own comments? You're about as one sided as they come.

I'm all of keeping the balance, but you're pretty far from being one of the four horsemen.

@ Greenpowerz

Dude, you're as delusional as they come. Get help.

Your cost analysis rings hollow.

You realize most folks will probably skip the PS Eye, right? Just like most people buying the Xbone would skip the Kinect IF they even had the option.

For your own part, you realize you're supporting a DRM machine that guarantees you "own" essentially nothing. Don't fall for it.

"I feel Sony went light, with a lot of things this E3"

Like the PS4 price? Or maybe the (lack of) restrictions?

Most importantly they demonstrated that restrictive DRM is not something they support, and therefore help prevent it from becoming the norm.

From a gamer perspective - regardless of platform preference - that is absolutely a reason to go with a PS4 over an Xbone.

A real win for gamers.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen any comments from the usual M$ apologists since the Sony conference concluded.

Coincidence?

Or perhaps they're rocking themselves back and forth in a dark corner somewhere.

Do you really need a lesson in the differences between Plus and Live?

Online MP is a fraction of what you get with Plus

How anyone could support DRM as designed for the Xbone is beyond me.

If M$ is going to f@!# everyone, perhaps they'll at least include a Barry White album and bottle of wine with every unit sold?

What I really don't get is the pass that some loyalists are giving M$ on DRM. To be clear, they aren't just "dealing with it". By purchasing the Xbone THEY ARE VOTING FOR IT.

Unbelievable. I would hope a boycott would apply t...

This bodes well for public health. /s

Waistlines will also thicken...

... a particular concern in the U.S. (where Xbox has historically been more popular and obesity is already rampant).

4623d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

Agreed.

And that's if you could even call GFWL "support".

If I recall correctly, Microsoft initially tried to monetize GFWL akin to XBL => something that PC gamers rightfully shot down.

Wait a moment there Benjasper, you just posted another link where it was a brand spanking new Corvette.

Tell you what, Corvette, Cadillac, whatever. I'll trade you straight up for the V12 Unicorn I have parked in my garage.

(I'd say wishful thinking is the commonality aye?)

"last-munth"

Thanks for the chuckle.

I'll trade your Corvette for my V10 Unicorn. Deal?

Spot on

The audience clearly isn't receptive.

The infrastructure isn't there.

The recent evidence against the rationale of "always on" gaming should make this clear.

Further, mandating "always on" seems a great way to alienate customers.

Sounds like those clowns who post spam links on N4G. I guess they're finally moving up in the world.

@ Maximus

Great to hear you're enjoying it. I remember watching Alien and Aliens when I was a kid (still in the theaters @ the time - hard to believe). Still two of my favorite films.

My copy hasn't arrived yet (PC version), and your comment has me still looking forward to this - despite the backlash.

It would have been hard to hold up to the hype and expectations this game built over the years, but most review scores seem to indica...

@Godchild

Valid point re: alternative disc tech (feasible)

But MS has made it clear they want to own the living room, providing entertainment any way they can. Since Blu ray is so widespread now, it seems like BR inclusion in the next MS console would be consistent with that.

That said, MS will still push video streaming, of course.

4748d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

Agreed, 640 GB for a hard drive size is relatively uncommon. Not unheard of, but not as main stream as 500, 750, or into TB territory.

Generally speaking, hard drive prices tend to be lower for more common makes/sizes - cheaper to pick from the lot of what's already made en masse rather than requesting special orders.

And we know console makers will be looking to control mfg. costs.
