The fact that they fired Adam Orth speaks to me at the very least that they know this shit pisses people off now. Though it's yet to be seen whether they'll take the "fuck you, we're right" path and keep all of it in anyway. The fact that EA's shown plenty of support for it is a very worrying sign.

I doubt they'll lose people with pay to play, considering people pay MUCH more to play many MMOs per month, but for everything else you said Havoc, that's a safe bet.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

I think people would expect better from them at this time around though. 360 users all know (well most) that PS3 users get the better deal on that end, and they would still feel shafted if they continue to make that same mistake.

I'm one of those apparently who don't "know" that PS3 users get a "better deal." Perhaps we're just not enamored by what PSN offers, or--like me--haven't forgiven Sony yet.

The biggest lure to me seems to be downloadable title specials. That's all fine and good, but I very RARELY download titles, so it doesn't mean squat to me. Beyond that, it doesn't offer much else. Plus, 5 bucks a month is hardly breaking.

By better deal I'm just talking about it being free for the basics. For a lot of people that's a pretty big yay or nay deal.

That also depends on the games as well. From what I've seen, none have interested me, or they are titles I already own (non-exclusives).

"Always on" feature to be per game

Prediction: EA will require you to be online to look at the disk.

In other news, someone has hacked the 720 in anger over the new features.
Not really, but one would have to expect it.

So, basically, it's like the feature where the PS4 cannot play used discs depending on the game. Which is worse? You decide.

I would say the PS4 on that one... hopefully it's not true though.

Well, if it isn't, that meant the PS4 would take a hit because that one is confirmed.

I was pretty sure that the guys at Sony themselves said that the PS4 will play used games regardless a day or so after the official reveal, but I'm not going to go by the article that Havoc just poted for three reasons:

1. It's old as fuck, being published by The Escapist before the reveal event
2. It has Pachter's opinions and recountings and he talks out his ass half the time
3. Jack Tretton doesn't work at Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, so he wouldn't have known jack shit about the deeper PS4 features at the time. And really, all he's saying there is that he believes that blocking used games is anti-consumer. And yet he works for a company that occasionally blocks online play for used games. Huh.

At this point a credible source needs to be one that came after the event. And doesn't mention Pachter at all.
