Have you seen STiD? What are you waiting for???
I'll prepare a statement after I've had a chance to think about it. You know what was bizarre. Very bizarre.

New gen, dude! Gaming side will be rocking and rolling for months!
That statement literally said nothing.

I don't understand any of this.
Let's just hope Sony doesn't follow suit... otherwise, we'll be choosing between these two guys in November...It doesn't matter what they say.
A shit sandwich is still a shit sandwich even if you tell me it's caviar.

"Retailers will be free to charge whatever they wish for pre-owned Xbox One games, but both Microsoft and publishers will take a percentage cut of every sale."
LOL
I am putting the coffee down slowly.
The likelihood is really up in the air though isn't it? Why are we only hearing bad rumors about the xbox and not the PS4? The ONLY smoke on the PS4 side is silence.that's kinda my point.
everyone is gathering up their torches and pitchforks and ready to burn MS at the stake when in all likelihood Sony has similar policy plans

So yeah, you might be right on the mark and Sony is biding its time before announcing the same policies, but I don't know why you think that is so likely.

*Sony's E3 Press Conference*
*Sizzle reel*
*Tretton takes the stage*
"PS4 plays used games without you having to buy a license."
"PS4 doesn't require you to connect to the Internet at regular intervals."
"You can resell PS4 games whenever you like, to whomever you want, and for whatever price you choose."
*Tretton drops mic and walks off*

Dax01 is not a dude.New gen, dude! Gaming side will be rocking and rolling for months!
Eh, you really don't have to pull the "dramatic much' nonsense. And while, sure, you, didnt expect games, this is a gaming forum. And many, many, gamers, expected games to be part of a video game console reveal. As shown with people renouncing microsoft, and writting open letters, you do understand that this is a fact for many seasoned gamers? That they'd look forward to games on their gaming system?
The reveal was a failure because it alienated a large demographic that made the Xbox Brand what it is today.
You being worried about sony is probably the same problem you had with a video game console reveal not having any solid gaming information about it. There are others that know that sony said their console is designed for people without internet - in mind.
"Wiggle room?" Not if they've already started signing contracts with publishers regarding who gets what cut from the resale of a used game.
it wasn't particularly traumatic - I liked a lot of what they showed, but not a lot of what they said.
But their coms have been a complete joke... a real mess.
Is Ken Kutaragi heading up Xbox now?
that's kinda my point.

Okay, I have a feeling I'm way late to the party, but what's with all the 'Only on Xbox' avatars? Didn't really think much of them when I saw them sparingly. But I've been on NeoGAF a bunch since the announcement, and it seems a bit odd. What did I miss?
Dax01 is not a dude.found that out myself yesterday.

I guess they don't like their fans knowing what social media monitoring is?
They WILL be able to see how negative this is getting.
You don't go after people who you think might do something wrong. If Sony comes out with the same practices then I'm sure there will still be plenty of pitchforks to go around. But until then there's no reason to give Sony backlash just because we think they might do it. No matter how likely it is that they will.that's kinda my point.

You know what's a good used games policy?
Being able to play a used game without any activation fees, account security, etc. stupid bullshit that interferes with my ability to play a game.
Why Sony should bother speaking now?They weren't the ones that fucked up by having employers saying random shit to the media.
MS fucked up so the sooner they are upfront about it the better for them.

I think Sony's silence is kinda telling and the way they danced around the subject at their event in february.
It begs the question though if Sony doesn't do this what kind of support will they get from publishers? Do they run the risk of being shunned like EA with WiiU if they don't support some kind of tariff on used games?
Oh yeah, the questions are good ones. I just don't see it being as likely as some others do, because there really isn't much smoke. But one can make a fine indirect argument.I think Sony's silence is kinda telling and the way they danced around the subject at their event in february.

easy junior no need for name calling
all the games press outlets weren't expecting much in the way of games so I guess I was more informed than you going into the event
I think I know how they got to that 40% positive, 40% neutral, 20% negative number they mentioned earlier, hah.
All the gaming press outlets weren't expecting much in the way of games at tuesdays event so I guess it comes down to me being more informed about it than you.
The only gamers they've alienated are the ones who are having a knee jerk reaction to a policy that's not even clearly set in stone yet.
All I'm saying is wait until E3 until we have more definitive specifics of what both Sony and MS have planned.
"Here's some bullshit. Its not our official bullshit, but we'll be revealing that bullshit at a later date. But its the same bullshit cause we already signed the deals. But dont think about it."
This lends further credence to my personal theory that they were floating ideas out there to see what the reception was. Hopefully they heard the reception load and clear.
