That is hilarious if true. Means the used game complaint goes out the window, as does rental worries.

It'll be even ground pretty much aside from the $100 difference.
...and the sizable difference in graphics capabilities.
Even if this is true, it doesn't affect my current plan to go PS4 first. I really don't like the idea of paying a $100 premium for inferior hardware just because of an included camera I'd never use. Still, if true, good news. I don't see the point personally since it's going to happen eventually, but eh.
But the Kinect is included, which makes it a wash. Unless you are paranoid of it spying on you, like one outspoken member here, then it is still box of evil and debauchery.
I don't know, I mean I see where gamers hate that Kinect is included, but if you recently bought a 360 it included Kinect didn't it?
Yeah, I seem to recall that being a big selling point for the PS3, how did that work out for them? Outside of Sony games and a few titles most games were a wash or looked/played better on the 360. Plus games like Skyrim and Fallout on PS3 were a complete clusterfuck.
Personally I think the multi-platform games will be very similar this next gen on the Xbox One and PS4, just as they were this gen.
Reality is that the First Party games and exclusives will now be a big decider in what system to buy. I am still leaning toward PS4 for this reason. When I do jump on the next gen bandwagon I would like to have a baseball game and hopefully the next Uncharted will be in the works.
Since I hate most sci-fi games, the only exclusives I cared about were Arcade games like Trials HD/Evo.

Nope, unless it was a special bundle. Right now the main SKU's are the standard 250gb and 4gb models.
The PS3 didn't have anywhere close the advantage over the 360 the PS4 is going to have over the One. There was only a marginal difference and most of the babble about that was centered around the cell architecture, which turned out to be an over hyped marketing tool for Sony that ended up backfiring on them because it took developers forever to figure out how to develop for it. Microsoft's doing the same thing right now with their "power of the cloud" BS. The PS4 vs the One is a much bigger difference than PS3 vs 360.Yeah, I seem to recall that being a big selling point for the PS3, how did that work out for them?

I never said games on multiple platforms would look a lot different. They wont. That isn't because of the power of the console, though. That's because developers more than likely aren't willing to optimize one version over the other, and because Microsoft will probably require publishers to sign contracts that their game can't be vastly better on other platforms, just like they reportedly did with the 360 this generation.
In fact, I'm pretty sure the 360 had a BETTER GPU than the PS3. It was the processor that made the PS3 marginally faster.

That's actually a huge bummer. I was really looking forward to being able to share a library of games (I already had my "family" picked out) and being able to play without needing to have the disc in. Oh well.So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:
An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.
Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.
In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.
These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.
Requiring the disc to be in the tray is definitely a huge bummer... that was one of the nicer features I would have wanted as I'm a lazy bastard. When the PS3 was launched, I kept wondering when they were going to offer some kind of disc changer system
Well, really the whole DRM never mattered much to me, but in the big picture, it is a good thing if true.
My 360 is always connected to the internet. I have it automatically log into Xbox Live and my account on start up. I always install my games onto the hard drive very first thing I do with each new game. If my internet goes out, I couldn't care less about playing a game, I'm trying to figure out why my POS internet went out.
The only games I have ever sold were NCAA 09/10 and Madden 09/10 years ago. Everything else, I keep just because every now and then I'll get the itch for one of them and want to be able to just pop them in and fire them up. I still like to go back and shoot shit up in the campaign of Call of Duty 4 now and then. Same with other games. There's a reason I still own all of the Final Fantasies from Anthology up through XIII-2 on PS1, PS2 and 360. I still keep my PS2 hooked up to fire up some of the PS1 Final Fantasies from time to time. I'm basically a hoarder when it comes to games.
Ultimately, if true, it will finally put to rest all of the PS4 vs. 360 DRM shit and we can get back to just talking games. And maybe Xbox One will get a fair shake now in the eyes of gamers and media.
The only thing that keeps me (and has kept me) from going 100% all in on Xbox One day one is the reports of overheating. After hearing (thankfully never experiencing) the horror stories of RRODs on the 360, it has me concerned with the day one systems. Something I'm going to have to keep an eye on over the coming months.
All games will be downloadable day one. So, for the truly lazy...Requiring the disc to be in the tray is definitely a huge bummer... that was one of the nicer features I would have wanted as I'm a lazy bastard.

Was that something announced my MS or Major Nelson?
That is great news! I'm glad all that BS is gone and we share games and what not and not be connected 24/7 . When I finally the X1 it will be awesome. But the ps4 comes first!
This is true, but then you'll (probably) have to fork over full retail price and then you wont have the option to sell it once you're done. I'm really hoping that digital prices start to fall a little bit. Sony and Microsoft are both HORRIBLE at prices for full retail digital games. Offer them at $45 or $50 day one and people will buy it. Besides, it SHOULD be cheaper. No discs to manufacture, no shipping and packaging, no dealing with retail stores, it's all 100% pure profit. There's no reason why they should be full price, IMO.
