Great news about used games and connectivity! And I swear my heart skipped a beat at that price. Hopefully my 360 keeps going long enough to play Dragon Age 3 in 2014, after which I'll get a PS4. I am so relieved. GAMING LIVES!

So in other news, it's a normal ass console designed by sane people.
Somewhat.
There's still that share button but whatever.

At this point Microsoft is basically banking on exclusives and people who haven't grasped that you can use a TV as a TV yet.

Well that pretty much settles it. Unless Sony announces that the console is made from the flesh of my dog I'm pretty sure I'm gonna buy one. £250 isn't even that expensive for a next gen console.

$399?

That's not bad honestly... much better than the PS3 was.

Now if only it had backwards compatibility, and then I'd be completely sold.

Get wrecked Microsoft. Here's hoping it costs under $500 for the Australian price.
I edited above, I called my local EB and was told that they expect it to be $499 for PS4 and $599 for XBone. Not 100% official but they did say keep an eye on the website so fingers crossed. If it is $499 I'm preordering on Thursday.

Good news? Maybe, it's in the hands of the publishers now... We know some of the big publishers are desperate to try and restrict or stop used games, so what happens if they decide to throw in support for the Xbone and leave the PS4 in the dust?

The PS4 could end in up hole with Nintendo and have to try and survive on first party titles and whatever bones EA and the others throw Sony's way.

I've never read anything that suggests it was done unwillingly. Randomly, but not without consent.

It's worth noting that when Life Magazine tried to get the two people to come forward, three women claimed to be the nurse and eleven claimed to be the sailor.

If we're lucky, in the morning we'll be hearing about how certain execs over at Microsoft were given the boot.

I miss being able to dvr the whole E3 off of G4. I'm still getting caught up on everything, but this...this right here makes me smile.

Both in joy that a scion of my consoles of choice is easily winning before the war even starts, and in cruel sadistic glee at how XBOX is dying.

Normally I just have a general disinterest in xbox news and games, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that has been pulled into their shenanigans of late with their self crippling announcements.

Sure, I bet that M$ could swallow their pride and renege all of their damning truths about how they plan to run gaming into the ground and kill off rentals etc. and drop their price to undercut Sony. They do have deep pockets, how else do you think that in the face of overwhelming negative opinions would any dev in their right mind be psyched about making XBone exclusives at this point?

But they won't. They invested too much money to do the sane thing and fix their shit this gen. They will be lucky to have another one.

As long as Sony keeps its head out of its ass, it wins by default. I can only imagine the time and money wasted strategizing and planning on how to beat the rumored new M$ console wasted because M$ decided to lay down with their head on the block telling its customers to fuck off.

All Sony needed to do was, essentially nothing. Anything above that is just the cherry on top.

Ouch.

That's going to be a blow to Microsoft. One huge, terrible, painful blow. Doesn't change the fact that I don't want any of the exclusives and won't be buying it, but, still. Ouch. Super ouch.
Agreed looks like Microsoft will be doing some retooling of their console soon. I found nothing sony showed to be interesting at all but they are really doing their best on every other front. Its a change of pace to see Sony shelve its arrogance.

Trouble is that it only seem to be EA that really want that (who were actually absent from Sony conference), has you had other major publisher (Ubisoft, Activision, SquareEnix) actually do a better presentation at Sony conference then Microsoft.

So basically this sailor grabbed a random woman and kissed her against her will, a sexual assault. The sailor committed a crime and should have been arrested.
