Edge #256: Why PS4 is your next console (Shots fired, post-DRM 180)

Creaking

He touched the black heart of a mod
Actually Playstation X was the original codename for the Playstation we know and love. The reason for it being was that the Play Station was also the name for the aborted SNES CD add on/console by Sony.

So know yo shit.

Well my goodness, how the dead skin does cling.

I suppose that does explain it though, I was frustrated for the longest time about the reasoning behind the nickname.

I read Sony mentioned that have never in their intention to blocks/or DRM to their games. If you belive this then you are mad.
Look at their patents etc...

If Sony really had a serious intention to DRM up their console, why didn't they announce or alude to it when they unveiled their console first in February?

Can mod do someting about the peopels whose uses the word Xb***??

What is it about the word "one" that you find offensive or derogatory?

He finds it offensive towards his beloved xbone.

So from now I use the PSDeath

Please do.
 
I agree, a lof of people will look at the X1 for it's entertainment value. Both my brother, sister and brother in law have all said the exact saem thing to me 'But what else does the PS4 do?' ..

What is the higher "entertainment value" of the X1? That you can plug in a cable receiver? Because most of the multimedia apps like Netflix and 3D Blu-rays can be used on PS4, too. But I am sure you have told your family about this...

I was a bit shocked, but then again it's not their fault, they're mainstream buyers.

You can't be serious lol? I doubt that many "mainstream buyer" will spend $500 for this.

Companies can file patents that they never use. Given how expensive R&D is, it would be foolish not to. They can sit on it for years and ensure their competitors don't get to do similar ideas.

There's a difference from thinking about it and actually doing it. Why do all Xbox One apologists literally use this same argument. REMEMBER CITADEL had literally the same argument.

If I think about glassing you at the pub, but don't do so, I can't really be charged with anything besides threatening you. But if I glass you at the pub, I can be charged with assault because I've literally stuck pieces of glass in your face.

All leaks have pointed to Sony thinking about DRM but very willing to maintain the status quo because there was literally no solid leaks regarding Sony's DRM strategy outside of some silly patents. Meanwhile, Microsoft's DRM strategy was leaked with excruciating detail was most of it coming true in some capacity. Either Sony is running a much tighter ship than Microsoft or they were extremely willing to maintain the status quo because its working perfectly fine for them.

There's also the very real possibility that Sony was using patents to bluff. The weird Cell/SPU patents that were filed, when it was probably too late to implement.

That wasn't my point. It ain't my job to inform them it's Sony and MS. I was simply giving an example of real world knowledge.

Real world knowledge? Sorry, most mainstream people don't wtf the Xbone does either. In fact most mainstream (i.e., non-gamers) people don't even know it's been announced. Your story sounds highly contrived.

Anecdotal evidence? The "mainstream buyer" will care about price and games, not about some exotic, rather useless multimedia features like HDMI-IN. And I would even go so far, that this whole TV thing which they want to force into games, will alienate some people.

That's exactly my point, they just don't know.
 
But every PlayStation has used the English pronunciation about which there is no negative connotation. It isn't the PlayStation Shi.


Does this mean that people will stop using the word One soon? for fear of being associated with the Xbone? Are HTC doomed?

From what I understand "shi" isn't even the only way to say 4 in Japanese so even without the likelihood they'll just use the English "four" that was always a bullshit myth.
