It may have limited the way that consumers could resell their purchased games, but did not completely remove it.

I think this had more to do with the XBO allways online initiative, which would make it so any retail game you bought would always be available to you through their servers and you would only need to use the disk once. The problem that created is if someone wanted to resell their retail disk MS would have to have a way to deactivate that game from your account, which would require the system to check to make sure that once someone else installed the game using your disk to another XBO they could make your installed copy not work. This would require the once every 24 hour check on the machine, and maybe a company such as Gamestop or Amazon that could reactivate the disk on thier computers for someone else to use.

But I could be very wrong.

I think you have it pretty right to me.

We are months removed from this fiasco and still people think M$ was taking something away from them.  The policy changed the format for how it was done, it did not take it away.  Most people could neve quite understand it, so they cancelled/180'd the idea.  The always online made everyone think it was DRM, which in some ways it is.  But no big deal if you paid for the game either through digital or physical disc.  By the end of this generation, it will be hard to even find disc copies of most titles.  And even then, they will have a level of DRM to them.  Both Sony and M$ have slearly said that they won't require it, but all publishers will decide that themselves.

I agree completely that Microsoft is better with OS's. Doesn't make it any less subjective or his post any less hilariously ironic.

My point is that it's not a matter of opinion. Microsoft is known for their OS's. Sony is not. You're overstating the irony is what I'm saying. Oh well. It's a silly argument to begin with.

Not a matter of opinion? Sorry, but yes it is. Being popular opinion doesn't make it fact. Apparently you're still struggling with this concept. Don't worry though, you're certainly not the first person I've seen on this site having that issue.

If one, brief, tongue-in-cheek post is overstating, your judgment on the matter is kind of fucked up.

Can someone tell me what is the difference between PS3 and the Ps4, without mention hardware specs? (just mention confirmed features ))

I won't be wasting my time on you after this post, but I can only chuckle at the notion of a 20 year old kid with probably less than half my education, on a gaming forum no less, saying I'm struggling with a concept as simple as subjectivity. I think I made myself clear. You're looking for things that aren't there. I can only assume as to why. Tongue in cheek? Perhaps, although it's not being conveyed very well.

You directly stated that it was not a matter of opinion, which contradicts the idea of subjectivity by definition. Age or education is a red herring, nice try though. You got it wrong and that's fine. Not a big deal. You don't need to cover up such a little misunderstanding by trying to point out what you see as my shortcomings. If you're as educated as you make yourself out to be, that kind of behavior is beneath you.

I'm not looking for anything. My first post was poking fun that you clearly took seriously. These things are easy to misconstrue over text so it's really a non-issue that entirely too much time has been spent on.

Agreed.
