The pain... oh the pain.

You're forgetting the monocle.

I think this is the chap you're talking about: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/sto…

I won't say where I work (but a big tech company), but we get 5-10 requests from the police and government agencies a day in Australia.

I don't think those that are responsible in their uses of contraception are necessarily going to lower their guard, really, for me the real concern remains around those that don't use it due to selfish, theological or societal reasons.

Why would that be a worry? There are a number of other STDs which, while not being quite as horrible as HIV/AIDS, still warrant the use of barriers.

Good lord, imagine the possibilities!

Why do they need a security guard when they have always on Kinect?

I read that thread yesterday and wanted to say how impressed I was with how cool, calm and erudite you were in that conversation. You took a lot of vitriol but kept to the main point; you even swayed a lot of the guys to seeing how offensive it could be.

Forget Jester or Viper - they're way over the hard deck.

Me neither - I have a sneaking suspicion it's how I always end up with empty seats next to me on public transport though.

Hahahaha, which may be MS's sole remaining advertising strategy if they keep on this way!

So I appear to have totally torpedoed my argument by not mentioning that I'm talking about physical discs again. Apologies for that.

Either of which should be and has been (up until now) entirely acceptable. For virtually every single other product, there is a vibrant second hand market. Why should there not be for games?

Only if they have been on your "friends and family list" (which has enough space for 10) for 30 days or more. Also - this can only be done once. So if they want to sell/lend it after, they're pretty screwed.

ZOMG:

I think there is a BIG difference between "DRM" where you need the physical disc you bought to play a game and "DRM" where you cannot do what you want with your physical disc i.e. Sell, trade, lend.

Now if they can just fine a way of synching Xbox controllers to the PS4 for me, I will be pre-ordering right now...

Yep, as a Xbox owner from day one, I'm now looking forward to taking delivery of my first playstation.
