Liars, I bet they changed the price after Microsoft announced the price of the Xbox One. Dirty cheaters.


Lol, cheaters, yep.

Yeah, cheaters. That's what they call to those people who don't play by the rules and Sony did that exactly.


So because they announced a lower price to the X1, they are cheating?

Yes, they changed their bussiness plan in accordance to Microsoft plans. That's dirty and unfair, and doesn't promote healthy competition.

How is offering lower prices unhealthy competition? What's healthy competition?

It's amazing how people can be so dense to the point that they don't understand the humor in this post.


Visiting hobbyist forums conditions you to be defensive and to overreact to everything.

Price isn't holding me back from Xbone, (or PS4) the lack of games that interest me is.

I'd buy them at their current price if either of them scored Monster Hunter 5 or Bioshock Next.

you mean you want some of them toxic AAA games?

Monster Hunter is AAA? XD

Good I'm glad they cheated cause it saved me $100.

It doesn't really matter, Microsoft brought themselves out so poorly it would take a miracle to save the XB1.

First it was forced DRM, Online and Kinect.
Then it was just forced Kinect
Now it's normal

But still, for $399, wouldn't you rather get the more powerful PS4?

Ya I can see this happening. Like 360 having a $299/$399 sku and a head start, while Sony announced $599. I can only imagine how MS executives celebrated.

I will admit, it couldn't have been better for a PS fan last E3.


Yep. And if the 180´s hadn´t occured the party would be immense.

Some people preffer that a company when charging US$60,00 for a game have a profit of let's say US$ 10,00 after selling 1-5M, but if they invest a lot of money and make a garbage doesn't salvage them.

Others preffer that a company charges US$ 60,00 without ever reducing the price and have a profit of US$ 50,00 selling 20M units...

Those toxic AAA is so bad to the industry that we preffer to be ripped off on low budget high hype games and fill the pocket of a single company.

They wouldn't complain of toxic AAA, small short indies or blockbusters with little inovation and just play the games he likes, I usually do that. But if someone thinks a game is toxic because of production cost demanding too much sale to break even he should complain of a game selling to much and costing little as ripoff shouldn't he?
