You folks have absolutely no vision. Only selfish, antiquated gamers would want a next gen condole to not add features. I'm so glad you work for State Farm Or Chipotle instead of Sony, MS or Nintendo.

The only thing about Sony is that sometimes they WILL make a bad business decision to try to look like the good guy. For instance, they should've charged for PSN from the start or offered a serious upgrade on it and start charging for it. The game division would've done much better financially even though some…

No, MS will just get blamed for starting it and poor Sony had to get in line or lose important 3rd party games.

I'm not confused. You know why? Because it's May and these consoles won't be out for many months and between now and then all will be revealed. So, basically, I'm saying that I don't need to know everything about a console 6 months before I even have a chance to buy it.

Well if you want to fight for ideals that don't directly impact you, I have some suggestions that affect people in significantly more REAL horrific ways than this relatively minor perceived slight:

Hmm. Interesting. Do you think it's really worth it to spend so much time raging about something that doesn't seem like it'll directly affect you much? I don't buy used much either, so that's why this isn't Def Con 4 for me in any way shape or form. The borrowing of games is what I'm more concerned about.

Whoa, MS is really getting drilled by the press on things they didn't talk about in the reveal. Sony didn't get near this many questions after their's. What does that mean? That the press harder on MS? Or that they're more curious about the X1?

Bingeing on anything is bad. Balance, people, balance.

So do you buy a ton of used games?

But it should only be a problem for those that only want to use XBL for Netflix. For those of us that use Gold for a ton of other things it's not that big of a deal.

Gamestop bought out all of their competition (Funcoland, EB, etc). They've cornered the market in used game sales and can command any policy they see fit. In any other industry, people would say that's bad for consumers.

Because SCE needs money for servers too. You think Gaikai won't cause their online service to be a much greater expense for them? And with XBL increasing some 300k servers, there is no way you'll find parity with the services. For the financial health of SCE, Sony should charge for online too. People will be…

I see it differently. Gamestop and others took advantage of an emerging market. What they do isn't anything special when it comes to used games. In all honesty, I think the publishers should offer a buy back service and have been saying that for years. They could even do that with the aid of the retailers and let…

Has that been confirmed yet for next gen .......?

Microsoft's pricing isn't the concern. It's the retailers. They're in this to make a profit too, so we'll have to see what they do. But with the margins on new games supposedly so low, you can see why retailers like Gamestop were pushing used games to customers over new ones: they made 100% of the profit versus a…

None of that has been clarified, so patience is required whether you like it or not. Sorry, but that's how life works. We don't get everything we want when we want it.

Nuff said.

Not if the game is $10 cheaper than new. That's pretty standard. But I know you just used that price as an example. And why's that?

Ok, so instead of them getting a slice, it all goes to Gamestop. Tell me how we're better off?

And I can understand that, but we've only had one hour of "face time" with the X1, so before we declare buying intentions and doom prophecies, wouldn't it be more reasonable to wait for what they themselves stated is the 2nd part of the system introduction at E3 which, definitely, should be about gaming?
