This article was largely trash, but I agree these preliminary prices are broken, but I think rent-to-own can fix it:
If you knew that your rental fees paid for a given game counted as credit toward owning unlimited streaming access to it, would you feel better? (assuming they topped off at the actual value of the digital title) I know I would. Even if the daily fees were a bit high, knowing they'd max out at a certain point and then you'd have unlimited streaming a...

Lucky for you two it seems like the pricing will be subject to change based on feedback. So, make your feedback heard.
Days and weeks from now it will be interesting to see if people remember the low points of Sony’s show (the big lull and the hiccups here and there), or if they will remember the high points. Both of which swung further than Microsoft’s steady and consistently good presentation.
As much as I want to believe, I think this one is bogus.
1. I think Sony is still reeling from the buildup and letdown that was the public response to the previous game
2. They are clearly launching new IPs over the next year or two, and it would make sense for us to become familiar with those new challengers in their proper context before seeing them romp around in a mascot brawler
Actually, it won't. If you use Kinect voice commands today to snap in other apps or record etc. then I suspect Kinect will be disabled for the titles that choose to use that 10% resource.
Those resources were allocated for a reason and if you free them up to devote to prettier games, great, but you can't expect the Kinect features to still work too.
Spencer: "It's a mix of games from 3rd party pubs, smaller games and exclusive games from 1st party."
Not a surprise. But the question is if it's in that order of quantity too.
I really hope someone makes a Mercedes graphics comparison video between Drive Club and Mario Kart
Wow, someone's been watching The Wire!
Shocker
Article manages to mention PlayStation Move but then fails to note how it is a perfect companion to VR headsets. Fails to cite any of the developers who have pointed out this very fact. Then again this realization would of course totally negate the article.
Well at least we know these visual novels will run at 1080p and 60fps.
Not at all surprised given the shakeup going on at Naughty Dog, and that it seems the TLOU team will have more of an active role in the next Uncharted game as a result.
I'm just going to leave this here:

My prediction is Microsoft will make their E3 "all about games" as promised, though that doesn't mean it will necessarily be all that exciting (few 15 min gameplay demos are).
Sony meanwhile has a lot more to talk about with Vita, PSNow, and VR. I think there's no way for them to showcase as many games in that timeframe (which many will consider a "loss" vs. Microsoft this year) but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be excited about what they...
Christ, people. If you don't like that the upgrade is $50 and tied to PS+ (so it expires when your subscription does) then just buy the Blu-Ray version for $10 more.
By the time your PS+ subscription lapses a year later it will probably be a $19 greatest hits title anyway.

I hope more and more news like this comes out only so Microsoft can finally snap to their senses about this silly clause.
Ugh, another "Xbox exclusive" that's not even exclusive to Xbox.
Number specifics aside, I think Sony can fix this by making a rent-to-own option. You paid a total of X to rent it, the game cost Y to unlock forever, you only have to pay an additional Y-X to add it to your streaming library with no time limit.
This way you are motivated to try more games because you actually have something (a credit) when the rental expires. And you'd be more likely to pay the difference to stream forever the games you've rented quite a bit.
