So are you saying you pirate all of your PC games? You are part of the problem.


Now where did I even come close to mentioning that I pirate all of my PC games?

Well many dont mind renting of Sony via PSN Plus. So I dont really know what the issue is.

I for one will be more than happy with DRM and 24 hr checkin. As long as the family sharing stuff from MS stays in the package.

You're not REALLY attempting that argument are you?

PSN+ = $50 and you get "glorified rentals" for 1-year. This brings a minimum of 15-20 games throughout the course of the year, with it most likely being closer to 25-30 games at least. At 20 games you paid ~$2.25 per title, which is the cost of a 1-day RedBox rental, exept you get it for an entire 12-months. If you decide to drop the service and then 6 months later want to finish that game you download on it, just sign up for another month and ALL your games come back. Either way it is incredible value for your money.

Your Always Online DRM is $60 PER GAME for the same "glorified rental". With this you are paying for your game in the same exact way you do for retail, except you lose ALL the advantages. To me there really is no true added value @ that price point. Now, if digital games with this DRM cost $25-$30 at launch...

You can't even begin to attempt to compare the two.

 


But hey, if you're fine and don't care about the products you purchase with your hard earned money actually holding any real value, then more power to you.

Me? My opinion on the whole situation is that following that and being okay with it is the same as me being totally wreckless with my money.

Doesnt matter its still a rental service. No matter which way you look at it. 

But I really want to move to all digital. Its benefits are much better. Except used game sales.

$2.00 rental or $60 rental.

 

See the problem here?

 

Yes, digital does have advantages, but none of them are worth it if they think they should still get $60 for a game.

Tell me when it doesn't cost 3,000+ to get a 4K TV.

But there is no point in getting one today, there will be much better options for less amount of money in 2014 already.

Sony might as well just leave the TV market. I just recently purchased a Samsung 50" LED SmartTV and Best Buy and HH Gregg had the smallest Sony section I've ever seen. Sony TVs are overpriced and not any better quality wise.

I called this the day of Sonys E3 press conference. About Blurays. Anyone who thinks PS4 wont follow is kidding themselves. It may not happen in first 2 years, but it WILL happen to PS4 and Xbox One.

Videogames is the last industry to adopt this, and if movies are even though they have MANY more revenue streams than videogames then it IS going to happen this generation.

The fact that Sony are fronting this should tell you Sony used PR at last minute on E3 to promote PS4. Its so obvious Sony want this.

I feel sorry for Microsoft, because they actually have amazing game lineups and amazing tech. ( Their OS on Xbox One is untouched ).

I also feel sorry for those who are buying PS4 expecting Sony to not introduce always online and DRM.

Sigh, companies are there to make money. Not 1% of internet forum guys happy.


tell me- 

are you getting paid for your perpetual 100% pro xb1 comments or are you really the one  "i love everything ms PR agency tell me to love " on planet earth.

Compared to you even turkishs annoying pro sony bla bla sounds reasonable.

I have to agree with Euphoria....there is no comparison really with how you are trying to portray it to look. And I also agree that all digital has it's advantages but then it is also a rental service becauase it is never really yours without an internet connection so that's not all that much better either in my opinon. I personally like having my own physical media...that I actually KNOW is mine and that I can use WHENEVER I want with or without internet.



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...
