Guest_Jim_* Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I agree Fuzion, I think Sony basically stuck it to Microsoft. I mean, $100 cheaper, it can play used games, requires no Internet connection for single-player, and doesn't have to phone home once a day to be sure it can still do what it's supposed to do. Also, reveal video for the console. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU7_d3e5Z6E The xBox One can play used games. That additional $100 possibly covers the cost of the Kinect it comes with (meaning a PS4 with the Eye/Move could be the same price) and Microsoft really wants to push that tech. Got nothing on the other points. Edit: Now seeing in some places that the PS Eye will be for $59, so that would make the difference $41, for a comparable package between the two.

ir_cow Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 the 24hour DRM bugs me. I don't always have internet and what is the best time to play games? when you have no internet lol. since neither console supports backwards support and all the stuff from the market place (I must have $500 or more in marketplace stuff) I don't see the point in sticking with Xbox, they screwed me and everyone who ever bought stuff on xbox live. It's simliar for sony but from my understanding only PS3 games are not supported from PSN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 The xBox One can play used games. It can, but only if the publishers decide to support it. It's not an outright guarantee like the PS4. Even though the PS4 lacks backwards compatibility, Sony has Gaikai launching in 2014 to cover streaming of pretty much any game you'd want. Plus, it's a region-free console so you can import games from another country and they'll play without issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any publisher that decides not to support used games (with their disc-based titles) is going to see reduced numbers directly because of it. Look at the flame and anger sprouting up over a complete untruth; it will only be worse when there is actually something to complain about. Also, as far as the region-free stuff goes, has anything been said about the xBox One? Maybe it will be region-free too, but they've not said. At least I can't remember anyone saying it is region-locked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PS3, meanwhile, is region-free (with one or two exceptions), so it's nice its successor is the same way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That additional $100 possibly covers the cost of the Kinect it comes with (meaning a PS4 with the Eye/Move could be the same price) and Microsoft really wants to puch that tech. Got nothing on the other points. Edit: Now seeing in some places that the PS Eye will be for $59, so that would make the difference $41, for a comparable package between the two. I think you're diminishing the importance of the Eye not being forced down consumers' throats like Kinect is. Yes, the extra price is absolutely because the Kinect is bundled with it, but that's exactly the problem. Not everyone cares about Kinect, but MS doesn't give those people an option of purchasing a base system (though honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they now announce a Kinect-less version after Sony's PS4 unveil). For hardcore gamers that don't care about motion games, they can buy a PS4 for $399 and never buy Eye or Move and save themselves $100 compared to XBOne. That's a big deal to many people.

I have no intent to diminish that, I just am not diminishing that Microsoft really wants people to use Kinect, and from that point of view, including it in everything makes perfect sense.

InCrYsIs Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Just pre-ordered from Amazon. I was 80/20 PS4 before E3 and from what I have seen Xbox One is not for me. I usually don't pre-order consoles but I couldn't get a PS3 for months after release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivalary Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Sounds familiar: PlayStation 4 third-party publishers can dictate their own DRM terms, Tretton says. If you look at the update to the story, Sony is saying that games on disc will be like the PS3, you can give them away, sell them, trade them, whatever.
