I think we've all heard a variation of the expression: "Whatever you do in your own home is your business".

Well, some companies are making it a business of theirs to capitalize on just that.

Now, imagine if the wrong information would fall into the hands of someone who would extort you for money, or to crush your reputation.

It just makes me think of what happened to cases like Rehtaeh Parsons' and how the spread of the inc...

If companies like Verizon have this up their sleeve, Microsoft will want a piece of it too.

Another interesting article I read recently:

Cable boxes, DVRs and game consoles with microphones and cameras in peoples' living rooms really doesn't sit well with me.. But the fac...

What I'm wondering about are the "casuals" who don't know and won't find out about the X1 policies until they purchase it..

There has been an undeniable negative reaction overall to the X1, but will there be a second "wave" once people find out about the online checks / DRM for themselves?

On topic, I don't think MS will change their DRM policies, however I think there will be a price drop soon after launch.

I'm holding out for GT5 (obviously), and Motorstorm Apocalypse for my arcade-ey racer!

I don't know about Halo vs COD, but what I'd like to see someday is an FPS of either of those games' caliber, but with cross-platform matches.

Have some PS3 vs 360 CTF or team deathmatches for example.

"and later bit him after the victim tried to restrain him"

Seriously? An attack with a samurai sword wasn't deranged enough?

The kid probably had some kind of discipline coming to him though, but that's a little nuts on the father's side of things.

Also, why the heck did this news publication have to give out their address? What's to be gained from that?

Edit: Just noticed the "kid" is 21....

It's like they're turning their game time into work. And for what? Bragging rights? I'm laughing at anyone who flaunts their gamer score / trophy count.

I like getting a trophy or something, but I'm not going to go out of my way to get one.

Maybe those people actually find that kind of grind fun, and to them I say; enjoy your games however you like. To the people that brag about their scores? Not so much. hahah

...would I be caught dead wearing any of that!
Even worse are people who get video game tattoos.

... but I'm still dissapointed to hear that the loading issue wasn't rectified after the beta. The fact that there are framerate drops doesn't help.

"Lets hope United Front Games fix the loading issues and framerate through a patch (for this reason, we are deducting 0.5 points from the review score)."

With that being said though, the fun of racing and relative ease of creating a good track still outweigh the negatives for me.

Elder Scrolls IV is my all-time favorite video game ever. If I had to choose but one game I could play for the rest of my life, Oblivion would be it. Please Bethesda, just announce it already! I don't care if it's another 3 years 'till it's released, just let us know that it's in the works.

Hitman 5 as well. I read that this one is in development, and will NOT tie-in with an upcoming movie sequel. (thank you devs)

I loved the beta, especially how easy it was to create a nice track. People will not need to invest even a fraction of the time and effort that creating a level in LBP did, which means.. more great tracks!

I hope they can patch in something to reduce the load times though. It won't stop me from playing.. I'll just reach for my beer between races a bit more I guess.

I just got my HOME Beta invite last week. I assume being a Quore subscriber helped, but others that are annual subscribers still haven't received their invites.

Hope more people can join the community soon.
