That's my biggest question.

If it is tied to what is registered with your PSN account, I would be more inclined to make my last few PS3 purchases digitally.


Fingers crossed there will be DRM!

Oh the irony...



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I still believe sony have plans to stream ps4 games in ps vita tv without ps4. If they can pull it off it will be a game changer. Sony will sell more ps4 games (via gaikai).


i don't think so, this would make the ps4 obsolete. they still want you to buy a 400$ device instead of 100$. Maybe you will be able to stream PS4 games once the PS5 comes out (or doesn't exist anymore), but i bet my ass that it won't be via PS VITA TV, that doesn't generate revenue.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

This is nice for my PSN+ PS3 titles. That's about it though. I own about 100 physical PS3 games so I'll be holding onto it indefinitely.



How much will it cost?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

They will implement it later. Gaikai "might" require a seperate subscription fee as well as you "might" need to buy digital games seperately. They will need to crease a good install base then they will think the alternatives.

They might promote ps vita tv as a seperate "digital" only ps4 console. They will give us option.

What I am saying here are from "business perspective" not from "gamers perspective". I am sorry if it offends anyone.

But that would mean people can only own their games digitally tied to your account without the possibilty to resell them.. If i remember correctly there was a shitstorm about that a few months ago


Shit storm was being forced to be digital, people dont mind the option

 

Gamers will be given an option. $400 ps4 with digital and retail. And $100 ps vita tv with digital only. I also hate digital copies but its preferred by console makers and game develoeprs.

Hopefully they will add it to the PS+ sub.

You know there is DRM already on the PS3... it's just a case that you don't need to log on every 24 hours, or have a constant internet connection to get it. So there is no irony, just maybe someone looking to get some sarcastic payback for the crap that MS got?

That's where the PS4 would be different. Does the X1 offer backwards compatibility?
