with posts like that you should have posted a long time ago

:( Double post...

I will take this chance and add this: What ethomaz is saying is also true. You say that five years from now Sony is going to finally realise that going digital was the right direction when in fact, both of the consoles digital offerings are almost exactly the same. So no, Sony won't have to do any catch ups on the digital front, regardless of how happy you apparently would be if that happened...

That's fine. Choice is good...But are you are telling me that they are going to match Microsoft with a digital ecosystem as well as keep retail disk based gaming alive and take care of every man, woman and child and leave no one behind. All this while keeping the same or better user experience?

And that I won't have a situation like I did last night where I bought the Last of Us on PSN and it took 30 minutes to download and 7 HOURS to install?

But yeah, slow disk loading retail games will still be there...thats a plus right?

shush, sony doesnt bring anything new to the market. MS does with kinect and cloud. lets forget PS eye and all the features you mentioned

You just dont understand what it means to be a consumer and have options.  Microsoft is forcing this shit on anyone who decides to buy an xbone, Sony is giving you the option to purchase digital or retail and keep it that way.  Not everyone wants to purchase their games digitally or be forced to install their games to their hard drive.  Also, the sharing feature on the xbone limits that particular games use to one user at a time, essentially being the same as lending a physical disc to a friend.  It's as Badgenome mentioned above, insteand of incentivizing consumers to go strictly digital, Microsoft is forcing it upon you without giving you nearly as many benefits and options that Sony is.  Two different approaches, one drastically more consumer friendly than the other.  Do you have a brain?

i thought this thread was about the PS4 not PS3? when sony announced the PS4 they said you could download a small portion of the game and play right away while the game downloads and installs in the background. 

you are spreading false information and nonesense all over this thread, give it a rest will ya

@bolded: Where do you get that information from? If you deduce it from the expected mean value of internet speeds, then that deduction is wrong. There doesn't necessarily need to be a correlation between the amount of calculations done in the cloud and the amount of data that will be eventually transmitted.

So looking at your profile you must be a Microsoft employee???  Do you think anyone except for other Microsoft employees will take you seriously? At all???

I want to game on a console, first and formost.  Anything else will be regulated to the 5% category.  In that 5% I dont want much, BR drive, Netflix, Amazon Prime...etc.  I dont want a camera (Kinect/Move) I just want to game.  I want those extra's to be free (PSN).

I will pay for multiplayer especially if I get extra's (PS+).

Microsoft took there Xbox One deeper down that "NO Effing Way" hole more than they did with Windows 8.

.............. every man, woman and child?  Because everyone on the planet has an internet connection, and ask those dozens of countries that wont be recieving any xbones what they think about that... such irony.

Sony is improving the digital infrastructure and there are a lot of new features over it like the part you just download part of the game and already can play it while the rest of the download is done.

The PS3 have a crap HDD interface and a bad filesyste... that the reason to these 30 minutes long installs... that is fixed with PS4 too.

Every retail game in PS4 is installed to don't have slow disk loading like Xone... in fact the digital adn disc base games in PS4 and Xbone are the same... there is a automatic install in HDD for retail and it download only a part of the game to play.

The difference again... is the online check and the DRM.

Research a little more about PS4.
