BiggC - I think you're onto it mate.
What are some of you all talking about? I can fire up my PS3 right now and play GT5, KZ's, or WarHawk until my eyes bleed. I can surf the net and jump on my N'flix (already paying for) for free.
PSN on PS3 will remain free, so I'm not sure where you are going with this. You even get automatic updates for free on PS3. The PS3 is quite possibly the most perfect console ever built next to the mighty PS2. This is my opinion.
As far as the PS4 goe...
Hahaaa ... gotcha lol you were damn fast.
PS3 version for me. Day one.
XBOXLIVE has never dominated my console multiplayer experience, nor will it going forward. I simply cannot rationalise paying a sub to play mp online nor to use my Netfilix, for which I already pay a sub.
"“This was to be the future of entertainment. A new wave of gaming where you could buy games digitally, then trade, share or sell those digital licenses. Essentially, it was Steam for Xbox. But consumers were uninformed, and railed against it, and it was taken away because Sony took advantage of consumers uncertainty.
We want this back. It can't be all or nothing, there must be a compromise.”
Something about this is completely, I mean just inherently anti-gamer....
kwietstorm, you should know anything involving GG now is a hell of a good deal, plus 10 bucks is 10 double cheeseburgers @ McD's ;)
Radec was hard as hell at first, and still kinda is on Vet (just getting in there to him was pretty hard).
pixelsword you beat me damn lol..
I need this game in my life. Guerrilla Gods deliver me.
In a word, yes. Why don't you think so?
It's an old offer but still one hell of a good deal. I've already got two PS4's pre-ordered through Amazon though. I don't think I need three lol.
....
1.) Killer Kinect game to show off all the new capabilities – free download on day one.
2.) Xbox Live free for one year.
3.) 2 free games per month – free content is good.
4.) A revised Family sharing plan.
5.) A game which actually shows the benefit of the cloud in real terms.
============================= ==
None of this would compel me to buy an X1, as the Kinect...
@level up gamer
...And your comment is just another example of multiple accounts performing MS damage control. Bravo.
That's actually pretty funny +1.
"While Microsoft can handle a few hard knocks, the wounds it is licking right now are self inflicted. That could be good for long-term investors willing to look past the near-term problems.
However, coupled with the “start” button issue, it is starting to look like Microsoft isn't reading its customers very well."
This could've all been avoided by focusing on gaming first, and all other aspects second. Well that and not treating gamers like...
Ummm... this article seems to be a bit late to the party, but yeah the name of "XBOXONE" has been poked fun at, debated, and written about ad nauseum in the interwebs, as we are all aware.
You would think that a bunch of suits sitting around collaborating on what they should name their third (gaming) system would come up with something a bit more logical than the "ONE", but when you're motives are to /control/ all aspects of living room-dom, I can see ...
Hahaa yes Bathy... a long time ago. Good to see you old friend.
@Legion, who are you, really lol?
I don't know about other titles but there are a S***Load of Brazilians playing GT5 at any one time (because GT displays player's country of origin flags next to their names).
No seriously I mean a lot. With this news, I'm expecting a lot more Brazilian rooms.
... or we could just wait for /worldwide/ console numbers if you really care that much... just saying.
mutha76 - please read my original response again.
It has nothing to do with morals but with what's fair. My opinion is that XBOXLIVE is not fair. My original response begins with the letters, "XBOXLIVE" which is the main object of my response.
I am not paying for something which requires payment for me to use mundane things such as internet browsing, etc.. nor pre-paid subs for a service like N'Flix. I thought that was quite clear in my s...
