Yep. I don't care what One looks like and I don't care what PS4 looks like. I want them to play video games and the occasional blue ray movie. So long as it doesn't have Obama's face all over the PS4 I'll take it.![]()

We still don't know what Sony's policy even is on used games yet. Chances are, they're planning on doing something similarly to Microsoft, hence why they've been so quiet about it.
I don't know why everyone is up in arms about not having games at the Microsoft presser. They said ahead of time that the presser was a hardware showing and E3 would be a software showing. Do people not pay attention?
Because it's asinine to reveal a GAMING console and spend the entire hour talking about TV, music, apps, and how Kinect spies on you.
I mean, Sony only revealed a few exclusives, but it was something. Microsoft revealed a few titles that will be on other systems and then talked about how they're trying to take over the living room with TV services. Aside from Sony's 2006 E3 conference, I can't think of a worse one than the One's reveal.
Twitter Rises Up In Protest Over The PS4's Rumored Used Games DRM
Yesterday, GameTrailers TV host Geoff Keighley revealed that, according to his sources, the PlayStation 4 will employ some form of digital rights management when dealing with used games. Twitter's gamer community took it upon themselves to show Sony how bad an idea this is.
Spurred by Keighley's words, numerous gamers on Twitter are currently bombarding Sony with messages about the PS4's supposed used games DRM. The campaign was started by NeoGAF user famousmortimer who, in a forum thread, asked people to tweet several key Sony personnel, among them Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, about their displeasure.
I have never bought a used game and I haven't rented a game since the Sega Genesis days. Personally, I couldn't care less if the ability to do so goes away - let the developers profit instead of GameStop.
I'm using Tapatalk 2 and the Cleveland Browns STILL suck.
I'm the exact opposite. I buy some used games and sell most of my games to make some money back. This is a big deal for me.
I get pretty tired of the whining some devs do over used game sales. I've heard people comparing it to stealing. Give me a break. Does Ford sue used car salesmen for them selling a used car and Ford not getting any kickbacks? Do they demand profits back? No! And a big part of that reason is that the profit made from selling a used car is used to buy a new car. It's a win-win and I think the idea that if you eliminated all used video game sales that all that extra money ends up in the first parties hands is very flawed. I don't mind taking a chance and buying some games I'm not completely sure on because if they aren't that good my loss isn't as bad. That $60 game can be flipped for $30 or $40 and my real cost is less than $30. Having to pay $60 for a new game and never being able to sell or trade it means I become even more frugal buying games for both myself and my kids.
Consoles going digital immediately means that Amazon and such can get into the digital distribution market for them, which means that prices will go down. It might not be an immediate thing, but it will happen. PC games used to be the same way as console games, but, slowly, there has been a switch in the market allowing games to be on sale more often, resulting in better prices all around.
