I bought it and love it. And yes, I was never into X-Com, and the series as a whole, UNTIL TODAY. I am a convert.

I still think Sony is the one with the digital future road map laid out.

Sounds like we have a Microsoft employee here, people. Let's just sit back and watch him pay fealty to the ones signing the paychecks.

Good that they backpedal, but I'm still not pre-ordering that thing. The price point puts me out of reach, sadly, and I don't want Kinect.

Sharing with hands and feet does not break the laws of physics. If you have few friends in real life, that's when it gets hard. I happen to have friends. *shrug*

Microsoft wants me to believe that being always online helps me share. I get to share up to 10 people, IF they're on my 'family'. AND, if they're playing one…

I live in Asia. I wanted to 'defect' to the XBox, but I guess they don't give a damn about us. *shrug*

If it's "...not something that we're going to dictate or mandate or control or implement," then how will the DRM take place? If the system can't implement it (natively) in the hardware, how will that DRM work? That's as opposed to an XBone that has it hard-coded requiring an online check, whereby your ENTIRE system is…

I'll still take it over a mandatory online check.

You can't, because:

I liked it because it was a fun, action-oriented beat-em-up type RPG. The fact that you get to play in the worlds of Disney (many of them throwbacks to childhood!) is a big plus. If you're not into that sort of thing, might not be for you.

Looks like Square needs that money BAD.

I think I'll pass on the $500 machine that I can use to buy more digital things that I don't need, which won't let me play games if my Internet goes down, and won't let me borrow games with friends (which I might need to do! because I will be BROKE after spending so much money up front).

Is "Rock Band" the only thing EA publishes that qualifies? Because this patent description is way too vague.

Can somebody show us stats on pre-order numbers? Like, month-by-month? That's the only thing Microsoft really gives two shits about, not our collective anger. (And I contribute to that anger! This XBone sounds awful.)

Sooo... Sutherland is voicing... Liquid Snake?

I think FIFA is the only thing I like about EA right now. It's a series that keeps delivering, even if I don't like having to buy it year after year.

This news might not shake up that perception, but I'm no fan of the exclusive monopoly. I do not like the risk one bad game in the series can make to sports games, or…

A console with no FPS's. That's what I called my PS1 and PS2. I didn't need them then, because the industry wasn't making them for those. It turned out surprisingly well, since I do my FPS-ing on PC's.

Do that this generation, however, that sounds nigh crazy. As burned-out as I get with shooting stuff and the…

One (two?) words: BLITZBALL. I actually fired up the game again one time just to unlock Blitzball, and didn't stop playing the mini-game for weeks. I had special moves to unlock, cups to win, and grudge matches against the (at least in my game) unusually OP Ronso and Al Bhed teams.

If they're dead-set on a movie, make it about First Contact War. It's a simple story, it's compelling, and it can shed light on Illusive Man. Foreshadowing! Room for sequels! What's Hollywood not going to like?

But really, making anything about the core series? Give it to HBO, make it like "Game of Thrones".
