Why would you buy a next gen console and not have a Gold account or PSN+? If you really are that anti-social and never play online sharing videos wouldn't be something that interests you in the first place. Once again more whining for no reason from people not interested in buying the Xbox One in the first place.


Could not have said it better myself. Almost no one commenting here was planning to buy it anyways.

Everyone just needs to accept that paywalls are a thing ... even Sony does it which is a much greater scandal than anything that has come out about Xbox One recently considering that "free online" was the battle cry of the PS3.

Microsoft has a paywall. Sony has a paywall. Nintendo will have a paywall soon.

Really you guys?

Microsoft announced that as long as one person on the xbone has gold, everyone can play online on that system. That meant I could just have a family GOLD account and still play online on my personal account.

Now you guys are arguing that every player on a system should pay for GOLD, even when all but one can already play online without it? You're so wrong it's almost comical. This has nothing to do with being anti-social or not wanting an xbox one.

We are not arguing that every player should have Gold ... we are just saying that the kind of player that will use this feature will 10/10 times have a Gold account already so people are complaining over something incredibly trivial.

There was also some justifiable scorn towards posters on here (often with giant sigs that feature Sony games/products) complaining about this feature that they will never use, because their next gen console choice is clear.

I don't make it my mission to go into threads about the PS4 just to bash them ... especially when I have no intention of buying a PS4 anytime soon if ever.

1. I don't have GOLD on my account yet I want this feature. Bam you're wrong.

2. Does a person's love for a different system automatically make what they post worthless?

3. So you're saying the people upset about this have a mission to go into xbone threads just to bash them?


1. So all five of you will be mad about this. Xbox One is doomed

2. No it does not, but it is suspicious. It would be like if I went onto a forum for crocheting and started to complain about crochet needles being too small for most hands or something. It just kind of comes off as trolling since I don't crochet, and I will never crochet.

3. They don't have a mission, but they are clearly getting something out of going into Xbox One threads to troll a system they will likely never purchase.

Not surprising of Microsoft. At least they get a constant livestream of you for free courtesy of Kinect.

Does game recording require playstation plus on PS4?

We don't know yet.


Read the Op

Thanks for the thoughtful advice, but you could've saved us the time and just posted "no"; it's not like the entire op is centered around this one question. And as far as i know - I don't believe Sony has comfirmed that, though I could be wrong.

1. That's a redonkulous response.

2. Games are games, regardless of the company. That analogy is redonkulous.

3. Again, redonkulous.

I see we are getting nowhere here ...

At least I know what to get you for your birthday now



Skype being tied to Gold... Netflix still behind an extra paywall... Seriously... Is there no limit to their greed?

well it's clearly because of your sig made completely of Sony Kaz hirai gifs and I think in one of them there is a guy actually making love to the dvd tray of a ps3? that was a bit much! Really annoying at this stage when you can't raise any concerns about a console you were looking forwards to because you've immediately been a playstation fanboy for years.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

This is not a surprise and Live is far superior service.

I'm confused. Can you explain what your post means? I don't want to take it the wrong way.

I've bolded and underlined what I was trying to point out was the part which stood out as quite weird in yer back and forth there! I really don't think that even if someone was 100% a fan of one thing that would take from their ability anyways to join threads like this and say lol even if that had been the case, but here it clearly is not.

I don't get why anyone would be surprised by this.
