i'd even force them to leave out the power chord. force them to print a sticker on the package that says "you need a TV, a hdmi cable and a friggin power chord to use the console". because i simply hate the tons of usb cables and all this shit i was forced to buy in the last 10 years.



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

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

It's gonna kill the PS4's popularity with punk and indie, that's for sure

I think they should make a PS4 that comes in a plastic grocery bag. Not including the box, padding, or instructions would save them millions.

Also, they should sell the PS4 out of a van. Why give retailers a cut?


LMAO!

The unit price to Sony for the power cord is actually $0.18 for fused (uk) plugs and $0.11 for non-fused plugs, so if we use $0.14 as an average the total cost of including power cords with all 5.3 million sold is only $742,000.

Agreed. AC cords are a menace to this world. xD

real talk: This just shows how annoying and stupid the daily "kinectless SKU" threads are.

But how would you use it to stay warm?

And didn't they already do something like that regarding memory with Vita?



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!
