    The fact that they implied that you would be able to share full games is kind of shady. That is what pretty much everyone thought you would be able to do. I'm interested to see if Kotaku will dig deeper into this, as it is going to generate a lot of hate if the one redeeming feature turns out to be a demo loan…

    Loaning out a game to 10 friends digitally seems like it would make the publishers lose more money than the existing disc-based loaning that happens today. I'm betting we saw the great Xbox 180 because of publisher pressure.

    That makes sense. This feature seemed like it would cause more damage to publishers than just letting the current used game model stand. Most used games don't go through 10 different people, but make it where you can digitally let people use it, and pretty soon you'll have clubs that spring up where people only buy…

    Never thought of them as evil, but they did sort of come across like politicians or extremely wealthy people who live in a bubble, and forget how the rest of the world works. You know, like the guy who thinks $80,000 a year is at the poverty line.

    It makes you wonder if there was external pressure from publishers regarding the family sharing plan. It seemed like being able to share a game with 10 other people digitally had more potential to suck dollars away from publishers than just letting people lend their old games out.

    I bet the guys at Gamestop are having a huge party right about now.

    I think I like this name better than XBone!

    Hahaha fuck you Adam Orth.

    I know right. We all saw how amazing that "cloud computing" made SimCity. It was a monolith of achievement that received universal praise from critics. After I played it, I immediately thought that all single-player games need to have the same form of "cloud computing" making them so much better. The inability to…

    Yep, and it's going to be hilarious.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but those racist 14 year olds are often spoiled kids from middle class families who always have decent internet connections and plenty of money to buy their little snowflake all 3 consoles. 14 year olds are the ones that care the least about DRM, and will be the least principled about…

    Zelda 2 was one of my favorites. If this is a bad game to him, then I can't wait to play one that he's really proud of.

    Just wait until they develop a shuttle or start seriously planning a moon mission. Soon after, all the derplords in our congress will start herping about how we need to have a strong space program, and all the wallets will quickly open up again.

    "except for, you know, Superman just fucking killing a dude that was about to murder an entire family with his heat vision, and who had just caused the deaths of thousands of people."

    "Can it send photos of you and your friends to the police when it knows you're watching pirated content?"

    Is there any appeal to playing Minecraft on a console, other than being able to sit on your couch while you do it? Seems like it's one of those games where you lose a lot if it's not on PC.

    I'm the opposite of you. I'm still using a Gen 1 PS3 (backwards compatible to the PS1 and 2 and has 4 USB ports in the front) and it runs like a champ. I've been through a total of 4 xbox 360s that died because of either the red ring of death, or just black-screen issues.
