I have a broad interest in gaming in general - it's fascinating watching the whole situation unfold!
If you'd asked me two years ago, I'd be giving Microsoft a blank cheque for their new console. It's amazing how much of an own goal their PR department have made here. It reminds me of Sony during the first three years of the PS3. They both had mega success with the PS2/Xbox 360 and they've become very complacent. Third console syndrome!

DK one of the biggest Apple "fanboys" commenting on Xbox fanboys? FLOL.

The PS3s downfall was its architecture. As was the PS2s emotion engine. It has little relevance to what we are seeing now. Both consoles using x86 architecture is a huge blessing. It used to take 3 to 4 years to make games on the PS2. Now development time is going to be far shorter and we will see far less sloppy porting.
Also Live now has a massive community. PS4 might be the more complacent and faster hardware this time, but PSN needs to pull something big out of the hat in order to claw back the gamers theyve lost over the past 4 years or so.
Depending on whats unveiled in the next few weeks, its all pretty much still even ground. Even if the Xbox might be having some teething problems.
If PSN has had a substantial overhaul there is no reason to pick the slower Xbox unless it has a rocking excusive lineup, but honestly I think if Sony had anything up their sleeve they would of used it awhile ago lol.

I still have my first console under the TV in the games room, Atari 7800, still works like a charm 26 years later, as does every single one of my original games. Will I be able to play any XBone games in 26 years? Highly highly unlikely. The licences may not have changed that much, but the circumstances have.

Seriously looking forward to E3, its a bummer about all this DRM stuff though...
I've commented a fair amount in this thread, and people are obviously passionate about everything they are saying. Its all fair enough.
It will be interesting to see what Microsoft and Sony come up with at E3. It will also be interesting to see if Sony have adopted a similar approach to DRM on the XB1. My bet is that they have, seeing as publishers would want that. The likelihood that this issue only exists on the XB1 and not the PS4 is very low. Still, stranger things have happened.
I don't know, we'll just have to wait and see!

your cs profile actually
really? i rarely comment on the apple section, i own some apple but i wouldn't say I'm a fanboy, I've been a sony fanboy in the past, but that was around cameras and tvs, never really consoles, I've always just owned both from launch, play on both equally tbh, I'm not a massive online gamer though, as I've said before, i don't play enough to be good enough to actually contribute when i play online.
Indeed, but thats mainly due to the fact your atari 7800 has no moving parts.
So what's this online check-in thing about then? The previously linked article can't be serious when it says you have to go online every 24 hours or you can't play your games!?!
I can go for weeks without turning a console on but still expect to be able to play a game at a later date...

It calls home every 24 hours by itself. You don't need to turn it on, it just needs the net connection to be on 24/7.
So if you wirelessly connect to a router, would that still happen if the console was off?
The mechanical operation of the two platforms is the least relevant issue here, you're missing his point.
I think you need to take off your blinkers mate. If you think microsoft values your privacy I suggest you seek help. You should also probably read up on recent press reports with regards to microsoft being one of a number of tech companies giving open access to the NSA. Perhaps you feel entirely comfortable giving microsoft video and voice recording capability within your living room but the potential for abuse is far too great IMO.
I'll be jumping ship to the PS4 on release. Unless of course I find out Sony have followed a similar bulls**t philosophy with the "eye".....

Yes mate it will. Apparently it only ever sleeps and never fully turns off.

Some interesting points here regarding privacy.

Also E3 coverage starts at 5pm. 5:30 for Microsoft.

Yeah Titanfall looks pretty good. It's on PC too, I'd like to think they're keeping exclusives this way lol
I'm looking forward to Watch Dogs now, a lot. That and GTA V, although Rockstar never reveal at E3.
Oh, and Witcher 3.

Think that's the one ^
I don't know too much about Watch Dogs but sounds interesting.
Also looking forward to some more info on Dragon Age 3.
And I would LOVE to see a next gen version of X Com: Enemy Unknown with more upgrades and personalisation of your team - the last one was awesome.
Destiny also sounds amazing, but not an exclusive obviously.
Things like BF4 I will probably buy but a bit bored of the current FPS franchises at the moment.

I really think Microsoft have shot themselves in the foot with this especially if the rumours regarding using kinect to target advertising is true. I mean kinect listening to conversations in your living room and then using the data to target advertising? Seriously, how can this not constitute an invasion of privacy?
I appreciate we are monitored on a vast scale in our daily lives. However if I choose to I can avoid such monitoring to a certain extent. I can choose to leave my mobile at home. I can choose to use cash instead of plastic etc etc. However Microsoft appear to have removed my option to choose anything in this instance by specifying that kinect is mandatory in order to play games.
Coupled with this they also appear to have deserted core gamers by basically turning their new console into a one stop shop glorified media centre.
I've been a massive Xbox fan since the first console even possible verging on fanboi status, however in this instance thanks but no thanks..........
*sigh*

Just a smidge. lol
Tin foil hat it maybe, but factually correct. I love the blind trust people place in large multi-national tech corporations. Just because it's governments instigating it doesn't make it legal. Spoonie can sigh all he wants - I'll put this down to him being a member of the nothing to hide nothing to fear brigade.

Factually lol.
Do you spend a lot of time on godlikeproductions forum by any chance

The answer to that would be no. Please explain how something is a conspiracy theory when it has been proven to occur? So you're denying that the NSA are guilty of anything they've been accused of the press recently?

Proven by whom exactly?
Was this you? lol.
