I'm a bit disappointed. Saw a interesting article about the always online gaming. They say that if you are not connected to the internet at least once a month you will not be able to use it. Not even single player will work. You cannot resell games, if you buy the game it gets coded to your xbox. So you can't even borrow a game to a friend :thumbdo:

Good to see Snake coming to Xbox. I own both a PS3 and Xbox but never really got into the whole Snake games.
Maybe I need to give it another chance. What I loved about the New Metal Gear Solid is the free roam element. Very much like Red Dead Redemption, one of my favourite games

Much of a muchness... Its a fanboys war from here really. They all trying to buy exclusiveness to games. So, certain games only come out on Xbox and Certain games only come out on PS4.
Thats the only reason I bought a console in the first place in 2007, so I could play Assassins Creed.
I prefer PC in the end.
Its all up to what gamer you are and what games you want.
Xbox 1 games will run as well as PS3 games. No difference in quality and frame rates. Like I said, you just choosing a side to support and each side has different exclusive titles.

Just on DRM, PS4 is going to be better - No always online, no having to have Kinect permanently connected (So Obama can watch you), you can trade games in at retail stores, you can buy 2nd hand games, you can lend your games to friends, pretty all the usual stuff that people have been doing for years.

Then there's cost, the PS4 is going to retail for $399 where the Xbox One is going to be $499.

Also, consoles aren't really consoles any more. The idea behind a console when they originally came out was that you put in the game and play and didn't have to worry about compatibility and update problems. With the new generation of consoles, you have to install the games, just like on a PC, and wait for updates to finish installing, just like on a PC.
All that said, I'll be buying a PS4.

Sony released a statement on Facebook saying not. It's pretty much the same as PS3 :joy:
Sony has further clarified its pre-owned, trading and online restriction policies, after one of its executives claimed that DRM measures were "up to third parties".
On Tuesday, Sony Computer Entertainment America president Jack Tretton appeared on GTTV and claimed that "the DRM decision for third-party games will be up to publishers".
But an official statement from Sony has further clarified the matter.
This situation is complex, but the outcome is thought to be:
Any PS4 game disc can be rented, resold, offered to friends (etc) with no checks or restrictions.
The online (multiplayer) component of third-party games could be restricted to second-users (with a paid online pass required to unlock).
However, the online component of third-party games may not be locked - the decision is down to the publisher.
When it comes to first-party games, there will be no online restrictions.
Traditional DRM policy (no lending) applies to digitally downloaded games, as usual.
This conclusion was brought together when mixing Tretton's quotes with an official company statement.
Tretton told GTTV that, "The DRM decision is going to have to be in the hands of the third parties, that's not something we're going to dictate or control or mandate or implement."
But Sony communications director Dan Race told Gamefront that:
"The Online Pass program for PlayStation first-party games will not continue on PlayStation 4. Similar to PS3, we will not dictate the online used game strategy (the ability to play used games online) of its publishing partners. As announced last night, PS4 will not have any gating restrictions for used disc-based games. When a gamer buys a PS4 disc they have right to use that copy of the game, so they can trade-in the game at retail, sell it to another person, lend it to a friend, or keep it forever."
During its E3 press conference, Sony suggested that the PlayStation 4 will be unequivocally free from any restrictions on pre-owned games.
"When a gamer buys a PS4 disc, they can trade in, sell it to a friend, or lend it, keep it forever," said Tretton.
"PlayStation 4 disc games don't need to be connected online to be play, or any type of authentication. PS4 won't require you to check in".
"It won't stop working if you haven't authenticated within 24 hours," he finished, referring to Microsoft's controversial used game policy.

Honesly... I think the game resale and rental thing is f@#ked up. Xbox made a big mistake by limiting a game to the original owner. I mean really... You buy a game, you play the game, you finish the game and you sell the game. Same with most of the guys out there. They don't want to pay R700 or R800 for a new release. So they wait a while and buy it second hand for R200 :nonono:
