dvd/blu-ray should just be so you have an option to play games if you have a slow or no internet connection. All the hard copy is for is to skip the download and let you jump rite into installing the game. The "cd key" is the expensive thing that really is the game sale. That way a used disc would be only worth a few…
How is it that no one saw that you were joking... I was so happy when they gave me the option to instal the games onto the box. Load times got shorter, and in some cases where the bottle neck was the disc read speed the textures were able to stream in at a higher res. But at the same time, it still wasn't like the OLD days…
Most any job in retail you work you will be 'forced' to sell something you don't want to. When I worked retail I was 'forced' to try and sell copy protection plans to every customer that bought something that was covered. Obviously not everyone would bite. Yet again, I feel that currently that particular excuse is a straw…
This doesn't really make a bunch of sense to me. I know it's customary to hate on Gamestop but much to the developer's chagrin they are making money for a reason. But you know what, lets just say that Gamestop didn't exist and those mom and pop shops didn't shut down. We'd still be dealing with the same issues of used game…
So my feelings on MGS: - i love that they removed all forms of realtime radar, having to switch to the map makes it way more tactical. - i love that the codec is a single button now instead of its own separate menu system. seriously awesome. - i love the way snake moves, it feels very polished and very responsive. - i love…
I think that by getting rid of the soliton radar you are more engaged. you look at the game actually instead of the mini map all the time haha i love that. i love how you hug the geometry to hide, nad peeking to mark AI. Agreed on the codec... one button push for info or hints is awesome. and one button for binoculars is…
The original Playstation was abbreviated PSX for the first few years of its life, the code name for the unreleased SNES CD. Around the launch of the PS2 it was changed to PS1/PSone officially. Then a modified PS2 was released in Japan that could burn dvds, it was called the PSX. So Sony is no stranger to this sort of thing.
Unforunatly downloading will be no good. Games are getting bigger in size, games around 10-15gb like batman for example, will take hours to download to a new console. Right now I can take 10-20 or even more games with me to a friends house and play all afternoon. With this tech I'll need to drag a console over. If we're…
Well security for your psn/live account needs to become something more like bank security with your 1 minute life Code Generators. At least then you can have more peace of mind. The lack of security on the internet spreads pretty wide and we can only get more serious about it. I very much agree that the behaviour of buying…
Pretty much, there's nothing left at all but a gigantic chain of gamestops, the used-games market is since long ago already dead. All you'll find there is new games with none of your money going to the developers, you're better off saving the money by pirating that game, then at least you're saving money for a new game…
