The issue has always been the security. Say what you want, but I never questioned MS's gold charges again after the PSN fiasco. Knowing I don't have to worry about some retards stealing credit card information and other very important info made that 50 bucks a year worth it.

That, and I'm a pretty social guy when it comes to gaming, and its not really a secret that Live has a more lively and balanced community than PSN. If Sony is gonna start charging for online, its time to start seeing changes.

My E3 grades

Microsoft gets a B. Even though they lost the E3 battle, its more so because Sony hit them with the sucker punch. But for the most part, HUGE improvement over their first conference for the gamers. They came and got the job done, most importantly, doing what they promised to do, give us just games. And they didn't even waste time on multiple Kinect titles. Even though I'm currently leaning to PS4 to get first, I'm still planning on getting the Xbone, too many games that I'm interested in. Killer Instinct, Halo, Fable and that new Titan Fall are all very promising looking exclusives, and what I'm interested in. Xbox HAS to make changes ASAP to stand a chance, which I'm sure they will. First is that price that has to go. At this point, even if you lose money at first financially, you got to do what Sony did with the PS3 and lower that price. Second, and probably the most obvious one, you got to take care of the DRM and used games policy. As you see the fans clearly let everyone know what they want. Sony delivered, so you must do the same.

Sony gets a B+/A-. While everyone will remember their ultimate killing blow, the conference was very meh and uninteresting before Square-Enix pulled out the big guns with Final Fantasy XV and KH3. Yea I know you want to show how you're committed to Indie developers, but except for maybe one group, those games just didn't interest me. If I want to play some 2D platformer or side shooter, I'd just get a portable system. Waste of time on a powerful PS4. Also, the actual presentation wasn't good, couldn't even understand that one guy's english. But like I said, in the end, Sony had the ultimate trump card, which was guaranteed to win fans over since the pain was fresh on people's mind from MS. Hell, they were even able to sneak in the fact that they will start charging for online multiplayer, something most Sony fans would blast MS about. Time will tell how this is accepted, but from the comments I've seen, while you have a good amount that will accept it, you do have a noticeble number who are disappointed.

Still need to see what Nintendo will do. People tend to count them out, but let's not forget they absolutely dominated the current gen with the Wii. Although they've had a rough start with the Wii-U, E3 would be the opportunity to change that.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain ...... Now that's a f**** videogame!

Only thing that makes me worry about getting PS4 is this stupid placement of analog sticks.
I really loved X360 pad and hated PS3 because of this. Maybe it's because I have quite big hands.

That's a fair trade off I think, in exchange for no DRM. I'm strongly considering signing up for Playstation Plus anyway and from what I hear it's cheaper than Xbox Live too.

Straight the f$%k up....

It's **** over

Sony
-KH3 in development
-ABSOLUTELY NO RESTRICTIONS
-SMALLER ONLINE FEE compared to Xbox Live Gold
-$100 cheaper than Xbone

I will still probably get both eventually, but its clear as day which one I get first.

How much is the online fee?

Is KH3 a PS4 exclusive? I am under the impression it will be on XB1 & PS4, but FFVI will be a PS4 exclusive.

How many people actually buy used games? I have never bought a used game in my life.

Well, I think Microsoft should be embarassed. I've been with Xbox since the beginning, but I started with Sony, looks like I'm going back.....

I've never bought a used game in my life - but my friends and I occasionally loan games back and forth. The fact that MS has so many restrictions on what you can do with a game you have already purchased is beyond absurd. I really don't know what the hell they thought they were doing.

I just pre-ordered the PS4.

I dont trade games with people either. That seems weird to me, I buy games because I want to play them with friends or online. The only game I played in the last 8 years that didnt involve playing online (w/other people) was Batman Arkham Asylum. All I care about is that I can still sell my games back to Amazon and it sounds like I will be able to do that.

I have an Xbox One pre-ordered, but fortunately I don't get charged until it ships. I've gone from being firmly into the Xbox camp to now considering a PS4.

I know I should care about the DRM and the game trading, but they just don't bother me, and I'm happy to take the trade-offs for what I gain in return. The biggest perk being the ability to switch games without having to go find the disc. My two boys both really like the Kinect games, so that's also still a selling feature for my house.

The 100 dollar difference between the two isn't enough by itself to get me to change. I also despise the dual shock controller for Playstation. It's going to come down to which platform can secure the best games moving forward. If it seems to tilt massively towards Playstation over the next few months, I may just cancel that pre-order and make the switch.

It looks like the PC version. 2K graphics have been mediocre for a while when comparing it to other videogames part of the reason is because they are forced to come out a game year after year.

Indeed. Compare that 2K version of LeBron to the characters in the trailers for The Last of Us and Final Fantasy XV. Not even close.

I know!!!

Don't worry, eventually it won't be exclusive to Xbox One, and everyone can enjoy it on their PS4!

Yes - in order to play online you will have to pay for a ps+ subscription.
