The only thing I cam think of, is that they had a traditional console planned deep into development, until some jackass decided to jam all the DRM into the works.
They were so deep into development with blu ray drive that they had no choice but to do it the way they're doing it now.
There are no manufacturing costs for discs, cases, booklets, deliveries to stores.
Its incredibly cheaper to just put the game online to buy. Think about it.
Lol no.
On PS you don't need to pay 3 times for Netflix.
Your ISP and Netflix account is all you need like everyone else.
On live, you need gold to do anything online. Even for free stuff like YouTube! How can you possibly see that, go along with it and then defend it!?
You're being robbed.
What they're doing is so ass backwards.
If you're going to offer digital only content, then fine, but what they're actually doing is offering digital only content off of a disk to install.
So all their overhead is exactly the same, and Xbone users are forced to pay more, for getting less.
This in between crap is going to kill them. You either cut costs across the board for overhead and gamers, by offering solely downloadable cont...
This is why that's a lie.

Great article.
Pulitzer stuff!
Aren't they a "participating retailer", who will receive a portion of the pie?
MS should just put a Sega logo on every console and scrap the nanny rules.
Then it would be able to compete.
Lol!
They've resorted to thought implantation!
Haha. Where's the spinning black& white spiral mind control wheel?
Ahhh. To relive the 90s again.
You can give them to friends.
Up to two to be exact. And all 3 of you can even play that game simultaneously from 3 diff locations.
Brucis,
He's just lost.
He has no idea that I love PS and I subscribe.
He assumed I hate it because I corrected the headline, and quickly invented some retarded Netflix example in his fit of wisdom.
What the hell are you talking about?
Of course I don' think Netflix should be free, but that has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. Maybe you're just a tad sloooooooow?
I would ask that you re-read the conversation, but since you didn't read it the first time prior to responding, what good would that do?
Even if what you thought I was suggesting was correct, which it isn't, I'll entertain it anyway. When we subs...
Not this gen.
MS policies succeeding means every console lover suffers.
Ordinarily you'd be correct, but the Bone is a game changer and it's terrible.
Same here.
I stopped drinking soda a few years ago altogether and used an Ab Rocket only a few times a wee and a month later my boxers literally fell off.
So much unnecessary weight is packed on through soda. It's truly amazing.
When your drawers fall off your waist, you know soda was not worth it.
Not fully truthful though.
Is not their current policy, that games purchased through +, are yours so long as you remain a member?
Physical copies of course we will own, but as far as PS+ digital content, they become non playable when the subscription ends. The PS+ game is married to the subscription I thought.
No?
I would do that, as I like your thinking, but waiting sux. I wanna open it and play that bitch the moment it arrives.
In fact, the day prior my PS3 will be sunset and the HDMI will be waiting to plug into the new device.
Everything will be ready on delivery day. May even sit outside with a 12 pack, waiting for the driver.
You may be absolutely correct.
Their launch though, is going to set the tone for the first year and a half.
PS3 had a problem riddled launch, but it was selling. Xbox One may sell out their launches and then remain stagnant. The policies are that bad. Ita more expensive too.
Anything can indeed happen as the Gen will no doubt be 7 years minimum, but we can all agree that Xbox One is nothing short of a catastrophe right now.
Early s...
Best and most accurate article I have read about videogames in a while.
Spot on!
The cutscene QTE knock was perfect. Press X to win then sit back and see cool stuff. Lmao.
Devils advocate tho, I thoroughly enjoyed Heavy Rain. I do think there is a place for a QTE game, it's just not in an action hack and slash game. Its been done to death and its time to go back to playing.
National Surveillance Agency?
Lol.
That's what it should be called.
Good call.
This really is such a strange coincidence between the prism story breaking, the guy running away to China and then MS reveals this insidious camera.
The timing couldn't possibly be any worse, and anyone who thinks that this device will not be storing their meta data in NSA's super servers, are deluded at this point.
Its what they...
