Pretty much. What will happen is you'll be required to purchase more and more via download only. Why do you think both systems come with a 500GB hard drive? That's a whole lot of space for saved games, hahahaha. All of this sharing physical media enabled BS won't matter because there will be so little of it.

There's plenty of HD stuff out there as well. That's mainly all I grab. Mythbuntu and the other Myth distributions are a great way to get your feet wet on Linux.

What a PR shitfest. Whatever, not getting an Xbone anyway. Nothing's stopping them from continuing with other greedy tactics.

Xbox One -- Microsoft confirms its new console MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 24 HOURS.

After doing so you'll be allowed to game, offline, for a maximum of 24(real world, not game-time) hours.
No longer required to be on the internet, can now share games. Now the best next gen console.

Well, I personally don't care about subs for online play, as long as there are dedicated servers, and MS is the only one to announce that they are bringing up 300k, yes 300,000, more servers, for XBox Live, solely for the Xbox One.

PSN, last I heard, likes to get hacked and give away your credit card info =)

imho: if microsoft was targeted they'd be hacked in no time. psn has many more subscribers world wide which would lead to more potential numbers to sell, and them less likely to be patterned due to the globalization.

Wrong, at the time of the Sony debacle in question the number of PSN subscribers was roughly 2/3 of the number of Xbox live subscribers. Nice try though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
