The response to our servicemen pissed me off,mate. "Hey, get a 360!". I wanted to punch Merrick in his smug mug. I agree with all your points and while I realize Sony and Nintendo are greedy and want money too, at least they were not being so unscrupulous about it. Still, we have to remain vigilant. Wouldn't be surprised if any of the three giants we're dealing with try to slip pass bullshit under our radars later. (Though I'm betting MS will be the first serious offender with that. However, if it's sony feel free to say "I told you so,Ben!". lol.)

I admit I've never choosen one side,xion. Aka, in some respects when it comes to gaming maybe I am an honorless mercenary or a kid stomping my feet when I don't get my way. lol. However, with a limited income I have to choose my consumer choices very carefully. Aka, if I was privileged I'd defintely pick up every console at launch. As it stands I can only afford one after some saving.

I don't know just how much about MS is true but amongst the 24 hour check in, 1 hour check in when playing a game at a friend's house, the Xbox one potentially being a useless lump when not online,dictating to us what retailers will have used games (whilst screwing rental places as well as Mom & Pop stores), charging ridiculous fees for indie game developers, originally being region locked, and the fear of NSA trying to use The Kinnect to spy on me it was an easy choice to go with Sony. (Though hey,they're not perfect either!)

Hope that illustrates my point clearer. It's great MS has done a 180 but they still wanted to kinda screw us coming out of the gate.

I love Aus but this is the big red mark against the place. Aka, great health care, great education,nice people, but Jesus Christ mates, there are worst things happening in the world than "Videogames". Not only that I've seen some rather disturbing films from Aus lately (Wasted on the young is a good flick but very dark.) so it's weird they're out in force to regulate games but let the film industry pretty much do as it pleases.

Yeah, MS had some good ideas. They just have to improve the way they implement those ideas.

Stinky....apt name for a foot controller,aye? lol.

It is! But I'm with ya,Celt. Still going with a PS4 first.

You've been busy gaming! I don't blame you for not touching the multi-player in Tombraider. Personally I'm excited more about the story campaign in that game. I also want to play RE : Revelations and Bioshock Infinite but I've had a PSP addiction lately and I'm trying to buy up games for it before they get rare and expensive!

Same thing happened to my friend. Luckily he recognized it as a scam and found a way to remove it. It was a long and grueling process and I think he had to reformat his hard-drive.

Honestly, I can't trust MS now. In the past I understand why gamers were pissed about the PS3 being too expensive and the original version of PSN not being as good as Xbox live but I don't think there was ever a point Sony tried to screw us over in as many ways as MS has done at this E3 press conference.

I'm with ya Kev. It's nice MS called the ambulance and all but they were the thugs that stabbed my back in the first place. There's still gonna be a scar.

Yes,lulz indeed,sir!
