I've heard rumor that the next Failbox will allow used games, BUT you'll have to pay a "small" fee to unlock used games, so Microsoft will make money on used sales as well as new. Can you imagine paying Honda a fee to unlock your newly acquired 2008 Accord? Or maybe cutting Maytag a check so you can plug that fridge in that you just picked up on Craigslist? Such horse shit. |

Just imagine it, picking up a game for $5, then having to pay another $25 to even play the fucking thing, and I wouldn't put it past them to charge you a ridiculous amount. Its like "Here, have this amazing sandwich! It's called a shit sandwich! It has carrots, corn, nuts and a side order of extra shit!". |

If any console has always on internet DRM or blocks used games I'll skip the console. I'm glad SNES repro scene is still going, if not strong, atleast still alive. --- Quote from: Blumpkin on April 05, 2013, 05:44:28 PM ---My thoughts are that Microsoft's gaming devision decided they'd rather Nintendo not be in last place of the console wars for next gen. --- End quote --- Yeah if both PS4 and Xbox720 have even either of those, WiiU will be the winner. ;D |

I don't think that PS4 will require a constant conection at all. And I'm really starting to doubt that the next Xbox will either. Microsoft still has two months until their announcement at E3. And if the last two days are any indication, it'd be suicide to come out with this. I mean really, what the hell would the point of a console even be if it required a constant high speed internet connection? At that point you should just have a mini box like On Live did. No point to have console in your house when you could play everything cloud based with little more than a controller and USB plugged into your TV. |

Its has been confirmed that the PS4 will not to require an internet connection and will play used games. I doubt Microsoft will go through with this, but with that said, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. |
