Same goes for always on now... Lots of benefits come with always on including seamles game patches, cloud computing, instant game save load and game library access regardless of console and location. Many more... DRM is something that if done right, may cause an incovinience or two when internet is down, but in the long run it should protect the game developers and publishers, and allow gamers to fully enoy their retail bought games and sell/trade them when they are done. |
that's a bit apple to oranges for me. other than the menus in bioshock having too small of a font ps360 fully support SDTVs. according to what has been reported xbone can only "play blu-rays and probably some game modes" without internet.
i agree, there are tons of benefits. but like the ps3's blu-ray being too soon and costing sony billions.. this could be MSs big mistake. well, probably not as be and at least MS has a far more stable source of income to rely on so they'll obviously be fine. but this could cost them none-the-less.
