Requiring a connection IS the issue.

Internet can drop (for whatever reason) and you have a $400 table furnishing till it resumes

Hey, don't forget getting kicked out of your active game without being able to save!

I'm not a Call of Duty fan

But damn

Ghosts looks like sex

DUST has a very very long way to go.

Doesn't mean I won't be along for the ride

I wonder how lending games to friends is going to work, do they need to pay money to play them too?

They should.

If you want to play a video game, you should pay for the video game. There isn't any real difference between piracy and loaning a game to a friend. In each scenario, a second person plays the game without paying for it.

Unless your argument is that there is nothing wrong with playing games without paying for them, I don't see the problem. Are you pro game piracy?

So if you lend a book or a BD to a friend, you're pirating. That makes sense

Lending something is not piracy, as you don't duplicate the media. If I loan it to someone, I can't play it anymore.

guess that was half of the features down the drain.

It's not a game console, its a "media center".

The argument against piracy isn't about whether or not you can replay your game, rewatch your movie, or reread your book. It's about people paying for the right to consume the media. Again, it's not MY argument, but it is THE argument.

It's illegal to pirate a copy of a game, book, movie, etc because the person who will be getting the product for free is not paying for the content. THAT is the supposed problem of piracy. I don't care if you can't reread your book or replay your game, you already read it, or already played it. You consumed the media, and now someone else is consuming the media for free.

The physical medium is no longer relevant to discussion of piracy and intellectual rights, because we've seen time and time again that the digital information devoid of a physical delivery medium consistently priced AT or ABOVE the price of the same information when it is delivered to us attached to a physical medium. The only difference between a CD and a FLAC digital album is the medium the information is being held on. For a video game (for example), if you buy the newest CoD at gamestop delivered to you on a $0.10 piece of plastic, you pay $59.99, if you buy the newest CoD straight from PSN, without the plastic container, you still pay $59.99.

It follows then that what we are paying for is the digital rights in each case, not the piece of plastic the game comes on.

If, for the digital medium, the rules are that we are paying for "the right to consume", then it follows that a video game purchased on a plastic disc should be viewed within the same context. If you are pro-lending, the natural and obvious logical conclusion is that you are pro-piracy. I personally am both.

Who else is excited for the next round of overpriced mid-range PCs from Microsoft and Sony?

*crickets*

When I buy something, I have the right to do whatever the f*** I want to do with it. End of story.

People like you [Baal] are sending the industry down the drain.

If this is a copy of halo, arma is a cod copy.

A $400 PC does not have the specs the PS4 has...so it is a CHEAP mid-ranged PC with a good GFX card in it.

Also a PS3 and an Xbox can both play Crysis 3...try and find a $200 to $300 PC made 5 years ago that can play Crysis 3.

Comparing Gaming power per dollar spent consoles win every time.

Baal are you trolling or just stupid?

They've already implemented online passes, in which you pay for the ability to use the online service.


In that same definition that you're using, NOTHING you have belongs to you, you merely "rent" it.

People like you are sending the industry down the drain.

I used to be die-hard PS1 and PS2, then 360 after the PS3's ridiculous launch price. After the first slim PS3's came out I got one and have rarely looked back. The only reason I play Xbox is to play with my brother who lives in England while I'm working abroad, and I haven't done that in a few months.

As for the new xbox, it looks and sounds garbage, plagiarising ideas from Sony and Nintendo and pretending they're original is quite sickening.

Tl;dr - *Yawn*
