"but we didn't have a power adapter to try it."

They should have got their hands on a variable-voltage DC power supply and jerry-rigged that bitch. (provided that wouldn't violate some contractual agreement they may have signed with MS to get their hands on the unit)

Why link to GameSpot as the source? Why not directly to the Bloomberg interview?

Nice note: Tretton says PS3 is at the middle of its lifespan. Probably doesn't have another seven years, but still has a ways to go.

"Just give us BACK the freedom."

Fixed. It used to be pretty common. Don't know why it's tapered off so much.

But that 1:1 tracking!

Good lord I hope they update the Download List for the PS3. Gonna take a bit of scrolling to find those free PS+ games I marked once I pick up a Vita. God forbid I ever want to re-download something old... I think my download list has 400+ items on it.

Would be nice if they'd let us use our own animated .gifs or video loops as wallpaper.

Highlight game -> triangle -> album -> enter name

Square -> sort by album

I definitely pity the souls that haven't figured this out, and are scrolling through scores of games to find what they want to play. It would certainly be tedious flipping through my 200+ games without folders. (yes, I am a digital hoarder. I've only really started deleting stuff to make room since my 500GB got close to filling up this year. Huzzah for PS+)

Regardless of what you are "inclined to believe," Azure is not free for pubs.

I can agree with much of what you posted, but the core claim that all One games will have dedicated servers provided "...

I'm not misrepresenting anything. The term is vague and relativistic at its core, and essentially useless to an objective analysis. So I made a joke about it.

P.S. "an amazing thing for XB1 online gamers. Of which there are millions upon millions"

All those (except KZ) and my PS+ Vita backlog.

The only thing that was really holding me back was wondering if they'd release a new model, but it doesn't look like that will be happening, so it's definitely on my buy list for the near future.

(got nothing against KZ:M, just don't think I'll need another KZ since I'm getting SF)

Indie dev... is MS executive producer. Guess we're going for a narrow definition of "independent."

I am pretty certain that the MS cloud servers are not free.

What the heck is "virtually free?" Do you pay for the server, put on your Oculus, and an NPC offers you a refund of in-game gold?

Of which continent is Puerto Rico a part?

Of which continent is Mexico (Nov 29) a part?

;-)

Until they make a specific declaration in regards to PR, I'd go with the "hope/expect" strategy. Hope you'll get it on the 15th, since PR is a US territory, but expect to get it on the 29th, because it's often considered part of Latin America.

Have you ever heard of a non-disclosure agreement? They're pretty standard, and they dictate what parties to a contract can and cannot discuss publicly.

Dedicated servers on not free on XBL either.

Where did they say that? How does its orientation affect the air flow?

Yup... $30 for a 25-cent piece of injection molded plastic.

I'll be seeing how well it stands on its own. Looks relatively stable. :P
