You also complain about rumor and conjecture, then launch into absolute speculation with the EA giving Microsoft timed exclusives in exchange for blocking used games thing. As for the "always on, always connected" line, that's nothing. As others have said, it's likely just "has sleep mode, can auto-update from sleep mode." It's just going to be faster from "on" to gaming and will probably be like PS+ where you can schedule everything to DL/update when you're asleep. It will be interesting to see what is tied to a subscription, though. While it's no more than speculation, the idea that the 720's "all games play from the HDD" philosophy could be linked to DRM is one that bears considering. It's sounds exactly like the PC model, after all, which typically eliminates used game sales. It also sounds kind of annoying, to be honest. Hopefully they aren't heavy-handed with it. I know that I'm someone who will try a new game, take it out after 10 minutes, and put something else back in, just because I'm not in the mood for that new game at the time. I would hope that you can do that instantly and without problem, otherwise it would be very inconvenient. It better be at least a 1TB HDD, as well, or it's going to get frustrating fast. My 320 PS3 stays crammed full. |
I agree with everything you just said.
As far as the exclusive EA deal im just pointing out that people are not thinking about the entire situation.
