Agreed. Wii U and PC.

I love video games, as I'm sure most here do, but I could not in good conscience hand over my money to companies that would insist on such backwards measures.

I would be depriving myself of dozens of great games, but I don't want to be part of the problem.

I think people might be jumping to conclusions a bit. I really doubt it means that the console would be a paperweight unless it's connected to the internet. More likely it will be an 'always on' device that never really turns off and I can't imagine it not having an 'offline' mode for gameplay, probably in the same mold as Steam. You would just have to register the game online initially.

Of course, Steam's offline mode is incredibly annoying at times, so even that might suck pretty hard.

Those things wouldn't keep me from buying one, though I can say with little doubt that the amount I'd be willing to pay for a new game would be much, much less. Day One buys would be few and far between for me. Without being able to recoup some of my purchase cost by trading or selling, I would probably become a bargain bin shopper.

Still, I kind of doubt all that will happen. It would be the same as abandoning any market that doesn't have widespread internet access. Seriously, I live in the US, and I have friends who don't have access to cable or DSL broadband services.

Sticking to PS3 till I can afford a gaming rig then.

I'll buy a WiiU

Yall can keep complaining. You will still buy it or die in boredom.

I'd still buy both for exclusives but my multiplat money would go PC unless Wii U holds up.

Don't care

My PC is always online and i didn't buy a single game retail for years now.
Online is better and i don't want to resell my stuff either.Steam and Origin all the way.

PS4/Nextbox should use that.
Are there still places in the world(except Africa and China) were someone isn't always online?
Buying games 2nd Hand is worse than piracy cause people think they are doing something legal.The publishers and developers have sooo much from that xD- I would appreciate if they would stop that and completely try to bind games to accounts.
Hence the reason there is DLC and all that stuff

**Remember Steambox is coming to!

***Xbox cross chat is what makes them.

Around 65% of the world is offline, as of 2011.

But what those who bought an xbox? or buy consoles? We need those statistics.....

**Used games is pretty much done with. The ideal is how fast can they make this happen?
