Oh man, That type of life sounds wonderful. Here back home I work freelance and pretty much work for myself no schedules but always at a constant work grind in the middle of the city. It really cuts into my gaming lifestyle. I'd love to be able to drive out to mountains., which I do once in awhile with my motorcycle…

I can just imagine 3d penises everywhere. You can't stop what the future holds for us, it's inevitable.

I love it. You are not alone my friend, I really dig the proof of concept.

While it is true that most core gamers like us wont give this thing a second thought. But, there is a market for this. Core gamers that have their own families who would like to share their passion with their children and extended families. Or just family oriented people who want to buy their kids some interactive…

It does not matter if it comes here late. Most of XBoxOne features would be useless here anyway. Also, the farther away and the longer it takes for the console to get to Asian hackers/modders the better for MS.

As a collector and an avid gamer, I thank you for this article Brian, It sums up everything I feel about this issue.

Because its cheaper to buy PC games. Now if PC games were sold at 60$ all the time regardless of age with only a 30% depreciation, with no publishers packs for less than a price of a new game, 10$ and 5$ sales, PC gamers would be in an uproar.

You have valid points, I too have the same outlook about not sharing or giving away games, but most of the gaming population still care about ownership. Putting down 60$ for a game might be cheap for some but not everyone. In essence the X1 is saying buy our games for 60$ but you don't really own it, its a rental you…

You are absolutely right. I've been thinking of the same thing. Everybody has their complaints about the XBoxDone but maybe deep down in our subconscious it all boils down to this fact, That we pay good money for these games and your telling us you are loosing money which is utterly ridiculous. and now you would like…

Really? Delusional much? Can you do actual work with the PS4? The PC isn't just for gaming. Please compare only if you can be productive and perhaps make a good living out of using the PS4, like making documents, photoshop, zbrush,maya, graphics, rendering and coding...if the PS4 can do just two on that very short…

Stop trolling PC enthusiasts, that snark of yourse makes you sound juvenile. If you can't afford this system then don't buy it. And there is no need for you to comment on it because obviously you can't afford it or atleast appreciate its innate value. These people vote with their wallet so stop sounding like an…

Yes, throwing a hissy fit and stomping or yelling at a bunch of people that you wanna be included will work...Not! Well at least that's how regular people perceive this article. Who wants to deal with that kind of baggage? If this was a playground, no one would like to play with you. Oh and expect to be ridiculed…

Yes I agree. The voice seems out place and is trying too hard.

I don't get people that just let companies such as this get away with crap like this. Don't people remember the basic principle of when you pay for something with your hard earned cash, that its yours and you can do whatever you want to do with it after. That fact you can bring it with you to another location and play…

Why do people keep thinking that a gaming PC only does gaming? We do all sorts of stuff with our Gaming Rigs. Their are other forms of entertainment to be done on it also Actual Work and productivity, Can you do that with a console? And Instant savings on steam sales helps a lot to make up for the supposed loss.…

Exciting times! I've never been this excited since the rumors for the Playstation 2.

IMHO, The lack of LAN support is the problem. Regular people that would like to play on LAN can't and these people are the one's who watch tournaments. If they can't play it properly why bother watching other people play it? in the end more people will play this damned game if there was support for LAN. Monetizing the…

Its not just because of the huge savings in labor costs. Its several factors, but mainly its because N.America has simply no facilities, infrastructure and most of all, thousands of engineers to deploy for such an undertaking.

Sounds like he is a card carrying member of NO MA'AM (National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood) - Grandmaster Al Bundy would be proud!

OMG people! A thought provoking article and all you guys filtered out of it was the value of WASD in gaming. I'm sorry Katie, It seems now that you've still got an uphill battle for women in gaming up ahead. Male gamer FAIL!
