I agree with SpinalRemains. You have been ripped off for long enough. Just look at what value the PS+ offers. I bet you 10,000% you would love to have the same kind of deal on the 360.
Demand more. Start a campaign to MS just like the PS fans did regarding DRM. It does work if you stick together.
PS Vita & PS3 remain free so no double standards. Can you use other network features on 360 without subscription such as netflix, lovefilm, free to play games etc? NO.
But you can on the PS4. This is fair to the consumer. Buy single player games, use our media & internet for free. Only pay for the new extra services we will offer such as Share, Cloud streaming for games, etc.
I DID get PS+ just over a year ago. I do not know how Sony have done it but ...
If they give you back the money you paid for the legit digital games then okay. Guess you have to read the small print.
Have read this only relates to the 360. Does that mean subscriptions aren't carried over like the PS+ is?
They both have 5 months to get it right. I was surprised that Sony had started this thing in 2008 and MS only in 2010.
MS have stated November so MUST release whether ready or not. Better to wait until its perfected if the product is good enough. Didn't harm the PS3 in the long run.
Hope for everyone's sake that PS4 & XB1 are good to go from day 1.
Edit: No more Mr Blow articles - please!
You have to give people the choice. Evolution takes time.
The great thing about a physical copy? I can sell it once I'm done with it and get funds towards another game or anything else I choose to buy in my life. It gives me power over my money and spending.
"They'll never take our FREEDOM!".
You can block country-wide, I agree. But not individual consoles within a valid country.
The only reason they will block a country is because you need internet access to verify games (DRM). Seems petty to me. Surely the more the merrier.
I too am getting bored of his comments but I have to disagree about the Ram issue.
If you have up to 7GB of Ram for your game then most Indie games should be able to load and run in that Ram without loads of disk access. That will speed up your game tremendously.
If you give me 7GB I'll use up as much as I can. Why only use 1-2 GBs if you getter better performance using 5GB? Its called optimising a game for the hardware!
FAKE! There is no way for them to stop you doing this.
Come on people. How can they possibly tie a console down to a user/location? It is the One (had to do it) ironic story that you can't trade your games whereas you CAN trade the console.
Will this week ever end for MS?
Pre-ordered mine just over a week before E3. What a genius.
Gotta decide on games. Going with Driveclub PS+ version (free), Infamous Second Son & Killzone and for Xmas Watchdogs for starters. Time to treat myself for a change.
A true visionary!
Now that's patience!
I wouldn't last a day if it was under my tree.
So if I had played with no internet connected I would of been okay? Damn!
Never thought I would say this but bad coding from ND. Played all uncharted games with no saving errors ever. Why have they tied saving progress to online servers. Big mistake. I reckon they want to check statistics on how people are playing. Why else would you need server connection for a single player campaign?
By the time I finish the game it will all be forgotten. I actually almost ...
I was sweating a bit during the ad!!!
They have got their heads well and truly stuck in the clouds!
I'll buy my game and sell it if I want to. Same as my car, my house, etc. Do Car manufacturers get extra money if I sell my neighbour my car? No.
But they do get services, extra parts ordered (DLC), etc. And they get visibility. Its all about branding.
Well done Gamestop. More power to you. This week the consumer fights back!!!
You CANNOT SAVE!
The auto-save bug will not let you select the save option. You can play for as long as you want but it wont save. When you go to save it is stuck on auto-saving. It is a bug.
Don't know if it is the patch 1.01 or just being connected to the internet. I will start again with patch deleted and no internet connection.
The patch also re-booted my PS3. How on earth did all those reviewers get to play the game with no issues? ...

If you inflict such heavy damage in your first round of battles then the war is affectively over - for gaming purposes.
To get this much negative press even before your launch is unusual and very hard to counter. Sony must be in dream land because their product is looking even better for the comparison. The anticipation for the PS4 is hitting fever pitch already - and its only June!!
But we will have to wait until MS come back strong with their multi-million ...
They could of got away with it if the damn XBox One was not so BIG. Where you going to put it?
Devices are smaller today, not that much bigger. If it was smaller then it could be feasible to slot it somewhere by your TV. Can it even stand?
I know the PS4 looks cool standing up and even lying down looks slimmer. It may seem like a small point to make but it makes a massive difference to the average consumers. And seeing as MS are going for the casual market it...
It was almost fine to stop people owning the games they buy as well. Close call!
Just so you know, you can still game online for free on PS3 and Vita. Oh, you can also use netflix, lovefilm, youtube, internet, etc. for free on PS4.
Nearly forgot, you can actually play online on PS4 for free if you play the free to play online games. Pretty good, hey?
