Why would they do that? Not only would they piss off retailers immensely, what are the benefits?

It seems like Microsoft's original vision just with slightly reduced DRM and none of the benefits, other than a one-time cheaper cost.

Unfortunately for MS, there's really nothing else on the XBO they could cut without taking huge losses a la Sony pre 2009.

It's impossible to cut anything on the XBO without pissing someone off.

Just slash the price? Piss off MS higher ups and lose money.

No Blu-ray drive? Piss off retailers and anyone without internet.

No Kinect? Piss off developers and get called a hypocrite.

If they were smart, the...

The problem is that there's just not enough of it. It's acting as a bottleneck, strangling the usage of resources.

Also, why am I posting at 2AM? I need some sleep.

Wow, I wasn't really expecting him to return given how Nintendo selects their Pokemon for each game, but I figured he had a good shot because he was the Pokemon the game used to demonstrate mega evolution. I hope he gets some of his moves re-done, he was one of the most fun characters to play, especially for pissing off your opponents with that counter move.

Anyway, it's great to see him back. I wonder if he'll keep that "stronger if he's losing" thi...

It really depends.

If you're a first time Vita buyer, get the slim.

If you can't live without dat OLED, keep it.

Gotta corner that dudebro market, ya know?

Cawd, Spawts, 4Za, Haylo, Geers. The five Xbox pillars.

OT: Microsoft is struggling with almost every other country aside from a select few (UK, Australia, Brazil), so the only way is for them to double up the PS4 in the US, and we know that's not gonna happen.

@Truefan

Lol you say that like Sony just decided to stop making games altogether.

Finally picked up PS+ after hearing about the requirement, even though I don't have a PS4.

My reaction to not getting this earlier: http://stream1.gifsoup.com/...

Come on man, it's just $50, but you'd probably be better off waiting until it's either on sale, or by buying it off someone...

Ah, I remember playing Trapt when I was a kid. Good times.

Also, I never really thought about buying a Vita until this point. Then all this news comes out and I'm like: http://cdn2.dualshockers.co...

DLC in 1 1/2 months?

EA's at it again (;¬_¬)

Well it's not surprising.

It's because smartphones have eaten up most of the market.

Curse you Angry Birds! Curse you and your ilk!

And Sony increases their lead, ever so slightly.

I'm not sure where these "Vita is DOOOOOOOOMED" sayings are coming from.

It beat the Wii U and the 360 again.

My story with the console race

Me: Any PS4s?

Target: Those sold out within minutes..... You want an xbox? (points to a stack of 25)

Me: ............sigh......no

The search continues

Meh, the benefits of internal memory are negligible, considering the memory is useless after you get a memory card and it's not going to be good as a standalone unless you go all physical, which isn't going to happen with PS+.

Sony already said that the MSRP for the slim is already going to be sold for much less, it's just up to the retailers how much they want to sell them for. I want a Vita since I used to own a PSP, and I want to go all in on the PS ecosystem. ...

I know that NBA Live has been terrible, and any other year, I would have told them to stop making these.

However, NBA2K is getting dictatorial with the 2K series. They've added the stupid VC, and made it a requirement to do just about everything in the game. It's ridiculous. The game is essentially online only.

I hope Live can get more competitive with 2K to actually make them work to please the gamer more.
