So what would have happened after 10 years? The service would stop being supported, so you'd lose the ability to use the console I'm guessing. 10 years is a long time sure, but look as the Super Nintendo or the PlayStation 1. People are still using those today.

We're still at the point where even the best CG still is fairly easily distinguishable from real life. I think 10 years is a very optimistic call.

My God! PC and Consoles were mentioned in the same sentence and there isn't a raging debate going on in the comments?! I'm going to need to know who's taken the real internet and where they're hiding it.

I think if anything the conference for the announcement of the PS4 and the upcoming one for the XBOX 720 has shown that E3 is no longer necessary. The amount of hype and attention around the recent PS4 conference, and most likely the XBOX 720 as well, is around the same as any E3 announcement would have generated. Those announcements made it to gaming news streams, websites and blogs without needing E3. With today's technology you can hold a press release anywhere and have the whole world able to tune in to see it. I think E3 is just an antiquated show which companies now feel obliged to put on just because it's tradition.

Wait what! A cover based 3rd person shooter AND they're using aliens as the bad guys?! What an amazingly ground breaking and completely underused genre of game.

I'm all for more copy protection, I mean developers work really hard(somtimes) to keep good new titles streaming into the market. They lose alot of money through piracy of their titles and i'm all for them copy proofing their games, even if it does somtimes feel like its causing more problems then if you did just find a copied version of the game, but thats a different matter. Whats annoying me atm is the install limmits. Sure fair enough if they say its for copy protection, but why are they only making the PC gamers suffer with this. If their main argument for the limmit is that it stops the sales of second hand games, then why the hell are only pc gamers being limmited. The second hand market for console games is massive compared to the PC's second hand gaming market. I just think this is just a ploy to try force PC gamers not just to buy games originally, but originally more than once. Specially if you buy a game for its online play, you are going to need to format a pc sooner or later. And if you game competivly online in that game. Three installs later and you will be forced to buy it again.
