No, because your "offroad motorcycle" analogy is retarded. This is a game console we're talking about. One that's going to be using technology that is generally agreed upon is bad. I'm a valid customer because I'm a gamer, and was an Xbox fan. Not anymore. So maybe you're right, maybe I'm not a viable customer for…

Lol. I'll take my next gen without an MPO (Microsoft Parole Officer®).

Lol. This is laughable. Good god you are full of yourself. It's ridiculous how selfish you are.

It's a ONCE A DAY check in. Why is this such a big deal?

Right. I feel the same way. I like some of the stuff they've talked about, but it's just way too restrictive for me to ever consider buying it. Microsoft has dropped the ball on this one.

Exactly man. Online DRM isn't required for any of that.

Exactly. Agreed completely. I really want to see some of these benefits for the users. Because I'm pretty sure the entire nature of online DRM is "Users: Jump through flaming barbed-wire hoops. Company: Feel secure"

But as far as we know thus far, that isn't the way it's going to be implemented. It's going to be a store where you can purchase games, trade games, and sell games. Like an Xbox Live store essentially. Or with what little they've released about it, that's how it seems.

Still though, they're making so much money off the console sales and original game purchases alone that they don't have to worry. They're just being greedy. I don't see why they don't invest into Gamestop or other used-game stores rather than trying to put them out of business. Stores like that provide a service, and…

I'm glad it works for you, but it doesn't work for everyone, and the fact you "can't see what I'm crying about" just shows lack of empathy. I don't always have the cash to buy new games (so 90%+ of my game purchases are used). My internet is spotty at best, and my friends and I essentially live on trading games…

That's a real fear of mine, but I'm hoping that perhaps Sony is learning a bit from Microsoft's launch... I suppose if they traverse the same path, it'll be a sad day when Nintendo presents the only viable home console rofl. I think that will be the day when I truly become a member of the PC master race

Lol, I pray Sony is taking notes from you sir.

There's been confirmation that the "fee" is the full game price for access to the game. If they are suddenly saying it isn't true, it's because they've realized they are sabotaging themselves. And even if it's not, that's the lowest tier of issues here.

I wouldn't doubt it. I honestly used to be a fan of the Xbox, ever since the original, but this... This is just too much. Unless Sony pulls this crap too, I'll probably be getting a PS4.

Ok yeah, I'll never purchase this. No used games (or well, you have to pay extra for them, which kinda defeats the purpose), no swapping games between your friends, and now, essentially, an internet requirement? I officially say fuck this system. They essentially took everything people said they DIDN'T want, and made…

Eh you'd be surprised. I think alot more people are unaware still than you think. I suppose it just depends on exposure and etc.

Haha. Good to see someone who recognizes the awesomeness though.

Lol. You actually know what Homestuck is eh? (of course I'm assuming that rather than jumping to the conclusion you just ganked the gif lol, or that somehow it's famous now and I didn't know it.)

I personally liked Ages, but it's been so long since I've played either. I wanna replay both lol.

It's pretty bad when the only reason I'd buy this handheld is for re-releases of old games I can't seem to find locally anymore... =(
