How many times would you need to upgrade/buy a new computer for as long as a console generation lasts? It's about 7-8 years, so I'm guessing a lot.


You don't buy a new computer, usually the only hardware you upgrade is the graphics card and most people do that once every 4-6 years.

This past generation, I had my PC I bought in 2004 and used it up to 2009, only upgrading the RAM and GPU pretty cheaply. And then I built a new PC in late 2009 that still plays games at 1080p and high settings for 90% of games out right now.

Couple that with how cheap you can buy digital download games on Steam or Amazon, it more than makes up the cost.

"Aren't they trying to make every Sony game ever playable on anything ever?"

Doesn't really explain his position on that. Just a question to follow up on companies making players jump through hoops. It's not even a good follow up question since it has nothing to do with gamers but Sony.

How much do we know about the PS4 again? Have they gone over specific things that will aggravate fans? So far I think most of the PS4 hullabaloo was over its social network stuff.

PS4 will not block used games

PS4 will not require an internet connection

PS4 will have party chat

Those are the ones I could find. Just do a Google search next time.


technically used games can play on xbox one as well...

Yes, the Vita thing isn't a hoop. And if it was you certainly don't have to jump through it.

Nope. Maybe one upgrade throughout a gen

Mine was built 4 years ago(mid range parts). Still runs everything better than consoles and only thing it can't handle at max settings is 64 player BF3.

Get a gamer PC - after 2 years of Xbox live subcription the the price leves out.. and roll the PC in barb wire to have it for yourself.


Except we have the family Gold account, which supports 4 different gamers in my house. :blush: It's certainly something to consider though, and I'll be keeping it in mind as I look at all the options. For now, I'm still fine with my 360. I won't be buying anything right out of the gate. I prefer to let all the kinks get worked out on the impatient folks. :devil:

Maybe this is Microsoft's way of leaving the console market.

The ol burn and run tactic?


Exactly.

Fast Jimmy predicted this lulz.


Well, it makes sense. There'll be some rubes who'll buy the PoXBox and pay to play used games and all that, meanwhile everyone else will be buying the PS4, Wii U, or gaming PCs. I got a feeling that Microsoft is no longer interested in being in the console market any longer--which can only be music to Nintendo's ears.

I really don't see what Microsoft was planning w/ this new console. It's more of a smart TV than a gaming console that looks like a Betamax VCR and a cable box than a video game console. They're trying to enter a different territory w/ this thing.

Isn't that dead? Taking a dirt nap? Sleeping with the fishes? Once it's over you can't do it again.

Nah, they'll be releasing the 360 for $100 or so once the X1 launches.

If Microsoft shuts down 360 live before my membership expires, I'm suing them for $60.

Then again, it probably wouldn't be worth it after it's all said and done.

Including the X1 which I hear comes with great ventilation

All these various statements from Microsoft representatives must make the organizing difficult.
