She was an Empress not a Princess, wasn’t she?

This is complete bullshit. Microsoft has thousands of employees and multiple departments. The people making games and working on xbox live aren't the same people doing tv and other media related stuff. And none of that is comprising the other. Party Chat having problems has nothing to do Kinect and TV implementation,…

The drivatar ai updates to the cloud so your friends can race against you when you're not online. How would that work without the cloud?

But why is it limited to only what your "family" members already own? Surely this feature would be good for every game on the system so more people got engaged and end up buying it. That's what makes me think this is fake. Microsoft would make more money making the trials open for all games at all times rather than…

I don't know, this doesn't sound very likely. Why would playing a 30-min trial of a game be limited to whether 1 of your 10 friends already owned it. This sounds like a cool feature they could implement in general, not just with your friends. If it's not, why could only 1 person access your library at a time if it's…

With any new product being developed and launched, the focus is directly on launching it and not planning for what to do when the product becomes obsolete. We'd all like to know what's gonna happen ten years from now, but isn't it understandable that they aren't focused on that and may not have a plan outlined for it…

Can't they still do this regardless of the reputation system? The rep system doesn't show that you are good at the game, but a good person to play with.

How exactly has that become impossible? Why can't they sell a $20 card for $10?

They can't hear you remember, none of these people have internet access.

Of course, I was just kind of replying in general, but I agree.

I can see issuing a hand gesture with a voice command being much faster than holding the LB button to open a wheel menu and spinning it down to the command I want to use and then pressing A. Quicker games probably won't have them or use them well, but more tactical games could totally work.

Apart from the price and policy reveals, Sony's conference was so boring to me. A majority of the conference didn't seem to focus on showing off their exclusives.

I can't help but laugh at all these internet retards that think this is an attempt to appease the DRM worries. It's just an exclusive thing for people who want to preorder it early. Yeah, they're all suckers for not having the same paranoid delusions the loud internet minority has. Get over yourselves.

I think it's just saying it'll be the first and only input on your tv.

I love how everything on Kotaku is either a disaster or the coolest thing ever. Everything is always hot and cold, nothing is ever warm or cool.

I don't think people will stop doing Let's Plays in general but depending on how this goes, I could see people not doing them for Nintendo games. If Ninentedo is just getting extra revenue and the people making the let's plays are still getting what they would get anyway, there isn't a problem. If also the ads aren't…

This makes me sad; as I still have mine, but it looks nothing like this anymore... :(

Actually it should be easy to do it or it would never happen. If there was a simple way to ask for permission that isn't going to be instantly rejected, some people actually might do it. As it is right now, it's easier to just make them and if they are asked to take them down they do, then you make another in another…

I doubt any publisher would ever give permission. The reason Let's Plays are a thing right now is because people just did them. If everyone has to get permission from each game publisher/license owner from now on, nobody would make them.

The bits with the staff reminds me of Hexen.
