That gameplay of Thief was PS4.

First, unlike you I think Sony has been vague enough about the plans that they MIGHT try to "change" their stance on the issue and really take advantage of MS. Other than that Kotaku article most of the journalists seem to think Sony hasn't said one way or the other. I followed it fairly closely and didn't see that. I did recall them saying a game like an MMO would obviously have to be online b/c its an online game.

Second Sony has 100% control over whether a publisher has DRM or not. They could simply forbid any publisher for doing it in order to publish on their platform. Take your ball and go home. Would EA (publishers) do it? They might think about it until they saw the demand I think it would create when PS4 crushes XB1 in sales due to the no DRM policy of Sony.

I've admitted your probably right and PS4 will have something similar to XB1 thus the "dream" conference. IMHO its the best for the consumer (me) and the best for Sony b/c no DRM would only help it sell more consoles to its consumers over its rival MS taking market share away from them.

They have said. I posted it at least 4 times:

UPDATE: More relief... At a roundtable this morning, Sony's game studios chief, Shuhei Yoshida, told reporters that any requirement for users to register a game online in order to play it would be left to game publishers. Sony won't require that.

Right there says all you need to know. Sony doesn't require a game to be registered, but publishers can choose to do so.

I wouldn't be "right." I don't think Sony is going to do anything. I think they're going to keep their system open and allow publishers to implement their own forms of DRM.

Honestly, I think you're putting too much of an emphasis on the DRM as a selling tool. Diablo 3 sold enough copies for the publisher to shower in $100 bills and they had the most notorious DRM of this generation. To you, me, and the 10,000 people on the internet who actually read this stuff, it's potentially a problem. To the average Joe, they truly don't care. Feel free to quote me on this: regardless of the price or the DRM, the PS4 and the Xbox One will sell virtually the same throughout the generation.

Well look at you going from PS4 only I might get XB1 later to XB1 day one.

I don't have a loyalty. I go where the games are. Microsoft has a fantastic exclusives library, so that's a day one for me. If Sony does the same, then they'll get the same treatment.

Anyone notice this on the Amazon order page?

Xbox One - Day One Console includes a limited edition controller, token code to unlock Day One achievement, premium packaging, and decale.

If they're going to start doing crap like this, there goes my already bad completion percentage.

Cheap Ass Gamer posted that pre-orders are up on Amazon. One of the first Facebook comments, "what is this? Rich Ass Gamer?"

Eh, I forked over $600 for that damn PS3 when it launched, so I have no problem with it's price tag, even though I'm sure a lot of people will. $500 is my limit, though. I don't think there's anyway Sony goes over that, so if they have the games, I'm going to get both. If they show God of War/Uncharted/SOCOM, I'll probably instantly buckle.

[SmoothPancakes]

Damn. I didn't get to watch the presser, but from reading this thread, fuck, MS has me tempted. I have never bought a console day one, but I'm giving some consideration to it for Xbox One. I placed a pre-order just to have it in place, but I'll have to think about it and decide over the next couple months if I want to actually get it day one or wait until sometime in 2014 or 2015, most likely 2014 because of Halo 5.

[JBHuskers]

I bought a laptop and desktop last fall, so I'm just going to stick with PS4 at launch.

I don't know if it was Halo 5 or not. I might have jumped the gun. It just said Halo, but it was for Xbox One, so I don't know what else it would be. 60 FPS and dedicated servers though? I don't care what it is, it'll be mine.

Nope. Not really. It may be 2015 before I even get one.

[GatorfanStovy]

JB but what about all them achievements you could be doing another year will hold you over ?

[souljahbill]

My gaming spending has decreased dramatically so I'm probably jumping into the next-gen in year 3 or 4 or whenever they stop making current-gen NCAA or Mass Effect 4 is released.
