There is another solution.
Buy a PlayStation 4.

You xbots really gotta stop with the misinformation. The used game DRM is NOTHING like what is planned for xb1. Sony has clarified restating that they're giving publishers the option to use DRM for online multiplayer only. Exactly like the current system in place for 360/PS3.

The PS4 is no different than the current model. If publishers want to pull some sort of online pass, it's on them to do so, but it's not built into the system.
XBox1 has restrictions inherent to their entire system. It's up to the publishers to decide if they want money from used sale transactions with XB1. It's not…

By the way, here's the confirmation from sony that Jack Tretton was referring to online play specifically when talking about DRM:

"The Online Pass program for PlayStation first-party games will not continue on PlayStation 4. Similar to PS3, we will not dictate the online used game strategy (the ability to play used…

Talking point detected. If you think both sides are the same, you really need o go back and look at how the Xbone DRM is set up. Sony is doing nothing different from last gen, while MS is locking everything down.

Except that is the case with current gen machines. Third party devs can implement their own DRM (online passes, for example) as they wish on both the 360 and the PS3. The difference is that Sony won't help them enforce it.

Difference being that Sony isn't having a DRM standard in place like Microsoft is.
They are basically allowing online passes to still be a thing, and as much as I hate that, it still isn't a deal breaker.

Scrolling through these comments, it's really difficult to find someone as level-headed about this as you and I. Sony didn't "lie" at all, they just said what they needed to say to "defeat" Microsoft yesterday. For people to think that the PS4 will be a DRM-free dream machine is completely naive. EA, Ubisoft,…

But to have Steam you must have had the internet in the first place. Otherwise you couldn't have gotten the game.

Yeah, this was expected. It's basically staying the exact same as it is now.

More like "Turns out that Sony can't fix the already existing problem of EA style DRM codes, and stuff like that, but they're not making it worse."

Publishers of PS4 games, then, can do what's already done on existing PlayStation software: Limit or lock content behind online passes or redemption codes (or opt out of restrictions altogether), which differs from Microsoft's limited licensing of Xbox One software.

SOMEBODY CALL THE AMBLANCE!

Yeah. Two not too much white actually hurt battery life? In theory????

Some of you keep commenting on how it doesn't seem to be in Gamestop's interest to partner with Microsoft in this way.

I made this joke elsewhere, but that comment summed up my thoughts on the Press Conference as a whole.

Do you remember the post-launch days where ps3s were just stacking the fuck up while no one could keep the wii in stock?

yeah I remember bitching at the price, which made me buy an xbox instead

They must have forgot to connect it to the internet within the past 24 hours.
