I'd take a bland answer over a sophmoric, condescending remark that some head execs seem to make from time to time.

You can still do digital download correctly. Read: Don't fucking include DRM. :)

Is this confirmed to be hackers, or more specifically this George Hotz person? Sorry, I'm slightly out of the loop with this crap.

I had the same thought as I was watching this. :(

Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear any more.

Ooooohh! Ahhhh! Yes!

We require more oil! Oh, wait...what...?

BOOM! HYPOCRISY!

Agreed. The demo is a poor testimony to the game's awesomeness. Play campaign, anarchy mode, etc. and then make your comment. :)

I'd love to hear your examples of these clones that were better than the original product.

@wocalax: Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking. Oh, the tease!

What really grinds my achievement/trophy-garnering gears is when, not only do you have to obtain a multiplayer achievement that involves a lot of multiplayer matches and multiplayer kills, but is also bugged a la Gears of Wars' Seriously 1.0; you keep pounding at it incessantly while at the same time feeling like…

Must be a lot of factors that influence the price; but like someone else said, they seem to strike out the dollar sign and add a euro sign not really caring about parity thereby screwing consumers.

@mintycrys is on an UBER STREAK!: Yes, because the euro is stronger than the dollar.

@matthewscott10: I respect your opinion.

While I agree that there is definitely a demand for physical media for reassurance issues to the consumer, the idea that digital download might become more popular or the norm within a few years is definitely foreseeable; I think Hirai is blinding himself from this fact.

@Krackato-ATOMIC COLLIDER!: The problem is the thought process that goes into this. Producers/retailers feel it necessary to play this exclusive content game to start a bidding war. Who's content do you want the most or who has the better deal? You go with them.
