If you're doing like for like, then there's no need to add an extra cost for a controller, unless you're talking about two players in which case you need to add the same cost for the PC values.

But that argument is incomplete. Based on everything we know, Microsoft is also against blocking used games. "Block" and "charge for" are not the same thing.

What possibly brings you to that conclusion? Sounds more like hope that Sony are the lovely people you want them to be than a realistic scenario.

They may indeed dominate the hardcore, but I think you'll find that none of these controversies will affect the vast bulk of the market. Good marketing will ensure the Xbox will sell very well.

I believe there's a fee if you manage it yourself, but that fee is wholly included in the resale price at a bricks and mortar store.

I know, right?

Thank you for reporting this. I've been on th edge of my seat for hours... O_o

Online passes are NOT better for the consumer. As it stands, the MS system lays everything on the retailer. They choose the price, they also take the hit. Once you have bought the used game in store, that's it.

Fuck other people's opinions, quite frankly. I've tried to make reasoned arguments about various things to do with the Xbox One reveal, and I've been honest to say that I have some concerns. But the disproportionate reaction from the online gaming community makes me want to give up participating, or even visiting…

Well you can't really argue against KSC getting one, and DC is the capital... They were all built in LA, so I can see why they went there. Maybe Enterprise should have gone to Houston instead?

While over in Florida from the UK for a holiday last September, I made sure to see Endeavour fly out to LAX, which was incredible.

Finally, I appreciate this sort of entry from Kotaku. Thoughtful, fair and with a genuine belief that they can help. After all, no one really wants to see Sony run away with a gaming monopoly.

Insults are definitely the way to get your point across, good work.

In an hour presentation they chose to show some US-centric stuff. If they'd chosen Japanese stuff, everyone else would have been unhappy. If they'd chosen European stuff, everyone else would have been unhappy. It was an example, with a promise of more localised content.

Using "cute" to be patronising is so 2011.

Apparently having to pay for used games is an unusual concept. I've only ever seen them being scattered out of store doors by staff saying "free used games, free for EVERYONE!".

You'll find that also all the tech blogs, including your own Gizmodo, are also raving about it.

Yeah, Sony's dropped by more after their PS4 event. That somehow didn't factor into the reporting here, though.

If anyone is confused enough by the name that it stops them from buying it, I'm quite happy not to meet that person online.

Remind me which OS Sony's VAIO laptops have installed?
