There are a gazillion Key shops all selling legimate Origin/Steam etc. Keys via their Websites/Ebay whatever , they're all shady because their pricing is lower than the outrageous amount the publishers want us to pay ? Somebody paid money to EA etc so what does this have to do with piracy . THose are legitimate keys that register . | ||

The only thing missing is the console version of starcraft 2, so that i may fully enjoy amoving my deathball during NFL breaks while i talk to my family on skype. And because microsoft thinks you're too fucking stupid to remember which channel ESPN is, they've created an innovative TV guide that will take you there! Seriously, this guy says he "only watches 3 or 4 channels" but he has trouble finding ESPN. It's called the Xbox One because Microsoft assumes One is your IQ. | ||

You could just play sc2 on your pc while having your tv on and use one of the gazillion of other products out there that lets you skype at the same time. | ||

The fact that buying second hand games is going to be severely limited sucks though, even though we had it coming. Publishers aren't gaining anything from people who buy secondhand games, on the contrary. They've been lobbying against the second hand market for a while now. I do find it a bit hypocritical that PC gamers are complaining about always-online requirements and the inability to resell a bought game. Steam, starcraft 2, diablo 3 and many other games require you to either log in online every few days or require you to be online at all times, and ever since steam became popular it's been downright impossible to sell PC games on the second hand market, unless they're 10 years old. If the Xbone has this kind of DRM, you can be sure that the PS4 will have it as well. I'm actually a bit worried about the lack of communication by Sony. They probably want to ride the hate-wave a bit, but at the same time I feel like they're hiding something. | ||

BTW, I bought Bioshock Infinite, Crysis 3, and Farcry 3 Blood dragon for $25 on ebay. PC games have a number of sources to purchase, therefore prices are more competitive. Also, PC games in general are already $10 cheaper than console games at retail price. To those arguing that prices will go down because they cant resell, explain your argument. Console games cost $60 rather than $50 because they have complete control over the distribution. They control the competition. Also, what if you decide to sell the console 3 years down the road? All of the games that you bought are paper weights. | ||

They probably want to ride the hate-wave a bit, but at the same time I feel like they're hiding something. I am pretty much in agreement with most of this. I don't really mind the always online or the DRM issues. I use steam all the time and it works great. If anything, Microsoft is giving the publishers tools to protect their games from the used market. Microsoft doesn't care if we sell and buy used games, it is the publishers that have been pushing for this. And with the number of them closing even after makings pretty good games, I can see why. Hell, Square said that Tomb Raider did not meet expectations when it sold 3 million copies in the first 2 weeks. Its is clear that the risks have become super high in the market a single poor game can sink a publisher. Thats not health. I like games and would like people to continue to make them, so I can deal with a little DRM. Also, they are showing some services that I am pumped about. Day and date digital releases, fully installed games with no disk, letter people borrow games at the account level. Access to my games on all Xboxs with my profile. Skype, blue ray and a good DVR(mine is trash). All of this stuff sounds great. The DRM is an issue, but its been coming for a while. | ||

Most of these are non-issues for PC gamers. It's all purchased online, played online or while being online. It's like a PC without a piracy option. I'll buy it if it comes with an SSD. | ||

If one can freely blow $500 (or whatever it costs) on a console, he won't have any problems connecting the thing to the internet once a day or with inability to trade in games. Most of these are non-issues for PC gamers. It's all purchased online, played online or while being online. You realize much of the midwest in the US has shitty internet/no internet because there arent enough people that live out there for ISP's to justify putting cable out there. Right? Also, what about armed forces stationed abroad? EDIT: BTW, 20% of Americans dont have access to internet at all (and 9% only have access through places outside of their home): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/31/internet-access-american-households_n_2049123.html EDIT2: Further, only 33% of the world has internet access http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Internet_usage | ||

What exactly Sony's DRM stuff will be is not entirely clear but it's been confirmed the Console ittself will work without the requirement to ever be online. Now what the publishers will require for their products to work thats a different story. | ||

The issue is big companies creating restrictions that screw over the user just to save a few bucks on piracy, and it wont work anyway. Also im not sure where your getting that info from, but steams offline mode doesnt require you to go online at all, and i played WoL for about 2 weeks without connecting to the internet, never played D3 so cant comment on that. | ||

But have no doubt that both are going to be similar. I would bet that Sony is going to let the counsel work fine, but publishers are going to have the option to make their games linked to the counsel and limit their ability to be resold. Its going to be "yeah, we are doing something just like that, only we told you afterwords, so your less mad now". | ||
