In this economy putting the money they did into a peripheral and selling it on the side is a fools route. They sell one with every box and the market is the same as the existing one. It softens the blow, while they can take a hit on the price of the Kinect. You have to understand from a business stand point why everyone has one. Not to mention now that the thing doesn't need internet it might be able to have the Kinect completely unplugged, it's just that some things obviously will re...
The reason games get leaked and have endings ruined? I'm all for small businesses but I've never been to a single mom and pop shop that doesn't have employees breaking street dates, or the owners themselves.
Now if only gamers could learn how to boycott games properly. Then we'd really win.
They do something bad, people complain, they fix it YOU STILL COMPLAIN. And yet people wonder why gamers are a laughing stock. With this childish behavior how do we expect to progress?
Got the Wii-U, getting the other two day one. Sorry but a real gamer doesn't skip out on great games when they know they can afford it, just out of butt hurt for a company they don't like. That goes for all fanboys.
Microsoft turns around and does something good and people still find a way to complain. SMH fanboys...
As much as it is a victory we lost a lot of good features. No more family game sharing, that's one thing I was looking forward to.
This site is so broken right now. Total server overload.
Anything to play down something tied to Xbox. You're probably the worst fanboy here, next the GreenPowers, and StrongMan of course.
Considering most games just get prettier with less content, higher prices aren't even close to justified. A quality submission board should be mandatory, like the ESRB. Games will be priced according to content, and quality (per QA testers notes). Now toss a $60 cap on the prices the board is allowed to set and suddenly the world is a better place. Clearly I haven't thought everything out but wouldn't something simple like this work really well? Makes sure we get bang for our buck...
So it's for the people that get everything out of their console, not the ones who play Fifa, and the Call of Duty campaign. Sorry but that's proving a focus, alienating people who hardly contribute to sales is hardly a bad thing. The Sony centric fanboys here should think twice, they'd be defending it if Sony was focusing on the people with internet.
Who needs online passes when you have the best selling game 5 years in a row, and second place doesn't even hold a candle? Sales wise it was completely unnecessary to have one, it would have lost more sales than it made.
You do realize you don't actually own games on your PlayStation right? Per SCEE regulations each disc is simply a physical license. Guaranteed third party developers are just going to say it's a one account use, developers look bad, while Sony looks like a knight in shining armor. Microsoft implemented a feature that allows developers to get their money back out of used copies. check ins may sound bad, and yes it sounds annoying especially if you have to use your cell phone, but if pe...
We would have skipped the generic shooter crap storm that was the last half of this generation. Would have been nice.
It may have restrictions but if none of them affect him it's not a problem. Besides, good games are good games. I pick up every console, and all of the exclusives. When you look back on things you find it's the things you didn't do you regret the most. If the restrictions don't affect you, all the power to you.
You can turn a console into a brick, it's pretty hard turning a brick into a console, sadly.
Well if their PlayStation bricked meeting them on PSN wouldn't really work. Not unless the purchase another PlayStation. Everyone I know that's had a YLOD, or RROD switched sides entirely out of spite.
You're right, the title is silly. How does something without a beginning or an end have a gate to the beginning?
Well that's bad news. But I have to say, isn't the picture redundant? "We have a still image of a still image, trust us" I'll wait for the video. I hope it's fake, having a $300 paper weight sucks.
A lot of the cool features it had are now gone, I don't know what makes this special now other than a peripheral that at the least is interesting, and a good focus on exclusives. But as far as features go nothing really pops now. I hope they have more details soon on some features replacing old ones.
