If that holds, the PS4 could end up being released, what, a year after the PS2 finally dies (the odd Madden game not withstanding)? Maybe a bit more? Hilarious.

I couldn't hear anything over the sounds of "AAAAAAAAAAAH THE PS4 WON'T HAVE SHINY GRAPHIX BAAAAAAAAAAW BAAAAAAAAAAW BAAAAAAAAAAAW" blowing through the forum.

I particularly liked the "1080p isn't even the standard for next-gen yet, so OBVIOUSLY 1440p or 2180p is going to be the standard in the next few years!"

Sony's biggest issue all along was getting the price down to reasonable levels. And while they've made strides to improve the situation, it is still nowhere near where they need to be for mainstream consumers. What advantage would releasin the PS4 early have, outside of creating yet another hardware cycle to support, splintering the current Playstation userbase, and ushering in only marginal performance results?

That stuff is just gold. Why would they want to release a cheaper affordable alternative system on the market when they still have a massively overpriced console with no fucking games on it??!??!?!?? DOES NOT COMPUTE! OH WAIT, that is the fucking solution.

Edit - Not to say it isn't a Sega move, but you know, whatever yeah?

If you're confused, look to the right and see who they're quoting.

Dan Balz is a pretty awesome name for a reporter.

In which a bunch of hardcore gamers (or possibly trolls, it's impossible to tell at times on Neogaf) actively root on possible attempts by the videogame industry to add restrictive DRM to future console games to make it impossible to sell games used/trade games/play games on more than one system. Some of them also directly equate buying used games with piracy.

In fairness, some people in the thread have their heads screwed on straight.

Stop acting like this is some kind of moral stance. People bringing up yard sales and shit are completely missing the point. Its quite simple. Publishers get mad because one of their biggest customers (Gamestop) is also essentially undercutting them and eating into their sales. They aren't trying to make it illegal. They aren't trying to send the secret police after you if you decide to sell your old NES games at a yardsale, or put last year's copy of NBA Live up on Ebay. Ebay and shit like Craigslist operate on a completely different market. Its fucking simple to understand really.

That thread is something else.

Your rights as a consumer do not go beyond your right to give us your money and shut the fuck up! Buy a new computer? Better fucking by a new copy of that game bitch. You only licensed the rights to one installation.

Monkeyfinger · « **Reply #261 on:** October 07, 2008, 06:40:26 PM »

Ah, yes, this argument. It's really, really common in crowds that like indie PC games such as Mount & Blade, GalCiv2, Dominions 3, and such, for some reason. In the case of the former game even the developers and the forum mods like to get in on it.

It doesn't rage me as much as you might think because it'll never work. Someone always shows up to help people steal the work of people who pull this shit, and I'm happy to do it and brag about it to the face of these idiots, which makes them foam at the mouth.

Grefter · « **Reply #262 on:** October 07, 2008, 10:19:53 PM »

Yeah when I buy an indie game and go through purely digital system I don't do it because I think it is great, I do it because it is what they have on offer. If I could get indie on physical medium I would totally get it that way instead.

Krauthammer bashes Obama for Wright, then has this to say:

"Racism is treating people differently and invidiously on the basis of race. Had any white presidential candidate had a close 20-year association with a white preacher overtly spreading race hatred from the pulpit, that candidate would have been not just universally denounced and deemed unfit for office but written out of polite society entirely."

I, uh, guess he's never heard of Pat Robertson?
