Xbone after 24 hours with no internet = paperweight.

Yes. They should ditch the 24-hour lockdown because it makes no sense. It alienates long-time customers who WANT to support them, but are being pushed overboard by them. We do not live in a world where there is 100% internet availability or even reliability. Having that feature is pointless if your competitor's…

Yeah, it's pretty shameful that a Japanese company is more supportive of military members than an American company.

Absolutely nothing, it seems.

You neglect to mention that the price of games on Steam puts an incentive towards that risk. Games that are a $60 price point on console nearly always release at $50 on PC. Want it cheaper? Wait 2 or 3 months and the game will be half price. Wait longer and you can sometimes get it for $5. If I invest only $5 in…

This is a rather important detail that they've said little to nothing about. How do you qualify those 10 people? Do they have to be verified as family? Can it be anyone? This is the problem about their entire pitch. They have been cloak and dagger about these shady features and will not give the consumer a clear…

It's true. When you get your anti-Semitism meter to 100%, Max goes into a berserker rage.

I think I just peed a little.

What if it's down for a week after the hurricane passes? What about two weeks? Get a new ISP? Sorry, there is only ONE option in my area. The point is, I want my console to work and play games, whenever I want it to work and I have an active power outlet.

You've obviously never lived in a hurricane prone area that had sole dominion to a shitty cable provider like Comcast.

Yep. After wasting $80 on that piece of garbage SimCity, I am going to be VERY wary of purchasing anything from EA.

Well said. It works just the same way as a PC does. Sometimes shitty games like SimCity get released that require online connectivity and are riddled with unnecessary DRM. If the public is educated as to the pitfalls of the terrible publishers behind those games, they will avoid them.

You're conveniently leaving out the weight that tilts the scales in Sony's favor.

If only. If they announced another Chrono Trigger I would fly to Japan and throw money at the Squeenix building.

So if I buy an XBone with FF15, and a hurricane comes and knocks out my internet connection, I will not be able to play FF15.

...they weren't female? I thought for sure they wouldn't make a game with an androgynous male lead character again.

Having a choice is always better than being forced to do something. Unless you're one of those submissive types who likes having choice taken away. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I think I just peed a little.

Yay for politically incorrect humor! Bring on the fake outrage!
