    Microsoft pulls a 180 (heh) on Xbone DRM

    iI can't even out the number of great games they've given away on ps+. Uncharted 3, infamous 2, Bioshock 2, Little Big Planet 2, Little Big Karting.. Every month it's something good.

    Microsoft pulls a 180 (heh) on Xbone DRM

    Hell, AT&T went to the State of Kansas legislature, and got them to agree AT&T could pull out of offering land line phones in communities where it couldn't make a profit. I thought that's why everyone pays that Rural Service tax on every single phone bill.. guess not.

    I think the problem, though, is far more complex. Above, we see a reference to "not everyone has HDTV".. this is true, and surprisingly, you can still get a SD output from a PS3 and XBOX360. Or use a digital conversion box if needed... plus, users anywhere can upgrade to HDTV - if they wish...

    This is what quite a few have.. but let me say something about Hughes.. the lag is HUGE. Plus, you're missing one part of the equation: Maximum Download per month: 5Gb. If the only way you're getting content is to download it, 5Gb per month is nothing.. that's email and websurfing only for a...

    Yeah, this sounds good.. but it doesn't work that way. My parents live in a town where there is no cable TV service, let alone hope of real broadband internet. At population 1,000, it's just a farm community. The nearest "city" to them is 40 minutes away and it's population 18,000. To get...

    Just watched that yesterday. Still one of my favorite films of all time.

    Considering Zynga is a bunch of money thieving, in game up charging pricks, seems like a good home.

    I don't think Apple has any interest in chasing that market to begin with. The cost to market as well as develop such a project would be a huge gamble.

    When I was young, they would market food processors and quisinart type machines by saying: "It does EVERYTHING!" Then, a few years later, people pretty well realized they didn't want anything that does "everything" they want one specific tool that does one specific thing. We like twitter and...

    Microsoft pulls a 180 (heh) on Xbone DRM

    That's something I can't understand the point of them doing. They basically said "fine, if you don't like X, you can't have Y either!". If they said a one time activation check, most people would be OK. Who knows; it's going to be difficult for a lot of consumers on this because the water...

    Microsoft pulls a 180 (heh) on Xbone DRM

    Well, let's be honest about this.. it isn't leaching a dime from devs, because devs aren't paid based on sales of a game and many don't receive any share of the revenue. Publishers get that. The publishing company makes a deal. Now, it may impact the next deal the publisher makes with the...

    Microsoft pulls a 180 (heh) on Xbone DRM

    If ms had said: new games have drm, yes, but they will be $30 or less because the dev knows they don't have o compete against used.. I think people would take the trade off. But when the same title was on both ps4 and Xbox one, both for $59, all a consumer could see was stick and no carrot. And...

    I don't see where either of the bottom two are changed in any way. In regards to the top 1, realize you aren't just hurting Gamestop, Sam, you're hurting a lot of people who buy and sell used on places like Craigslist, Ebay, etc. direct to other consumers; and you're preventing people from...
