But I don't want to pay additional fees (Xbox Live Gold) to be able to use what PC and PS4 let's me for free :( Netfix, browse web, TV etc.

Thanks for point it out.

Is $500 really expensive for a next gen new console? That's a price of 8 xbox games. Somehow it sounds right imo. Sure I can't afford to buy it tomorrow, but I can save up from now till November to buy it, that's 100$ a month.

One of the reasons why I rarely drove Forza 4 online was because majority of people drove like muppets. I enjoyed single-player because drivers would stick to driving line, respect the opponents to a degree and overall drive like professional racing drivers.

Something about the new iTunes icon reminds me of Zune as well, probably just the colours.

Damn, Nathan, you sound seriously bitter, immature and someone who's never worked for someone before. This article might as well have been called "If you want a career, f**king focus on it", or "don't waste your time creating a small music agency", whatever.

I'm 35, I work in games, and I still can't afford buying all the games I'd like to play that come out (games*x+$$-time=renting), so I rent them out to get few hours out of them then move on, many games these days can be completed in a week. I guess with XboxOne I'll be playing less.

I'd like to agree but most games on Steam sale are not the new $60 games, but few years old games. (Note, I said 'most', not all).

I don't see anyone complaining about many current used games requiring you to pay for multiplayer reactivation. Isn't that almost the same thing?

I can still play my Dreamcast, Genisis, SNES and PS2 games, but I guess the day Microsoft decides to unplug XBox One your whole game collection will become obsolete?

Damn, would have pre-ordered instantly, unfortunately they only accept credit cards which I don't have :/

Anyone else finding this a bit underwhelming? (except for the PlayStation fan-boys) This is supposed to be the end of PS3 life circle, in most cases that means the best that the console can do, since most developers had so many years to figure out the hardware (PS4 will be out by then!), If you look at how much…

Funny how that little line at the bottom is the only difference between logo in 1 and 2 :)

GT5 was my biggest disappointment of this gen, so I'm really not bothered by this announcement of an announcement.

Where is a like button for this article? I've been working as a dev for 13 years and I couldn't put it better myself, well written Mr Anonymous Game Developer!

wow, was called many things but never as insulting as being called an American. :P ;) No I'm not.

I think this points out how f***ing hard the games industry is right now with all the layoffs and studios shutting down. Few years ago I thought Montreal would be untouchable regarding game studio opportunities, but with what happened to Visceral, THQ and Funcom it puts us all in danger here and limiting the…
