His answer worries me when he says it's not permanent in that sense.


PlayStation 4 can still be enjoyed old school without an Internet connection at all.

He clarifies a little under.

Ok sweet Sony making my choice a little easier!!!!

This means that PS4 is either going to require manual disk swaps as disks themselves are going to enforce the DRM for the installed game, or will be pirates wet dream.

Of course it will require disk swaps. I don't see how that's even a bad thing. Takes about 5 seconds.

Gooooood, this is a big issue for me and I would propably skip the console if they did it the other way.

Sometimes I just want to sit on my chair and enjoy a game without logging in so I can be harassed by friendlist people or ads.

Nice. Now we just need a confirmation on the used game policy and I'm all on board the PS4 hype train.

It doesn't have to be online at all, so that means it doesn't block used games, I think..

Yah, I know. I'm still a bit worried that DRM is going to make its way to the console (somehow) but yeah, it's looking up! *crosses fingers*

"disk swapping" was one of the things PS3 had over 360 in the flame wars, so that this argument now seems to do a 180 makes me smile :D

Yeah. Pretty funny to see it swing. But it was a pointless thing to brag about then and still is now.

 

OT: I' happy to hear this. I can think about getting a PS4 now. I'll wait for more information about it first though. Same with the bone, but so far I'm leaning to not getting it. Hope this changes at E3.
