@billzihang: Never too late to pick up a cheap 360. You'll probably find a 250gb slim version on eBay for £60-70 these days. There's a ton of quality console exclusives from last gen (as well as PC exclusives of course) that are more than worth anyone's time, and 90% of them will be dirt cheap.
@MrFreehuggs: That would be great. I own a PC & an X1 so it'd be nice to be able to switch between the two versions when i liked. I also have a couple of friends without PC's, so it's an opportunity to play with them without having choose one platform over the other...I'm certainly not buying the game twice :)
More people get to play their games on MS platforms, i don't see an issue here. Are console players (i own a PC & X1) suddenly annoyed &/or jealous that MS PC users get to play the games they do? Perhaps the Xbox crowd are mad that PS4 players who own PC's now get to play a lot of the X1 console exclusives? To that i say grow up :) MS can make plenty of money with this method & PC has always had its own set of rules. You only need to look at Street Fighter 5 & Dead Rising 3 to see that console exclusives are just that, and should be treated as just that.
@myhomieyoda: Good thing you said most & not all. I've been playing games on PC for over 10 years without ever stealing/pirating a game. I imagine i'm not the only one considering the huge success of companies like Valve with Steam. As Fedor said, quite the generalisation.
@CptMorgan21: Xbox Live is a platform rather than being stuck on one specific device. Even after the servers go down on Xbox 360, there will almost certainly be a way for you to continue accessing your content for that console. Perhaps downloading content from the Xbox website to be transferred to your Xbox 360, with a small scale server still running on 360 designed to sort out licencing. Even the Sony PSP has (and still has) this ability in some form. The original Xbox/PS2 were special cases in that they weren't ready for this digital time, and as such we lost everything as we moved on...That shouldn't be the case this time around.
Thanks for the video Danny, very well said! I've taken this viewpoint for many years now & it serves me well. On the surface it might seem cynical, but my appreciation for the games i ultimately buy & play has never been higher. My golden rule with games i'm unsure about--wait for just one week & gauge the reactions (from people you trust), and form your own opinions via gameplay videos. Look out for number 1 & remember the biggest responsibility you have in consumerist products is to yourself & your own enjoyment of said product/s, which certainly isn't in line with the position of the marketing campaigns.
Just let a good thing end. At this point, using the 24 name will only damage the show because the vast majority of people have been fatigued with it for years (i'm a massive fan & still haven't watched the latest). Bring a new idea if you ever want to see that level of success again, that's how it goes, especially after hundreds of hours this show has already racked up.
@sdecker425: My guess would be that PS4 is killing it in games sales. The PS4 is usually the format mentioned first in the multi-format games sales, which suggests (or rather just how it is) that said game sold most on PS4. I'd assume that DLC followed a similar path, unless Xbox owners loved DLC a LOT more for one reason or another. Film & TV is more tricky to gauge, and honestly i couldn't say which might be doing the best. Obviously the PS4 has console numbers on its side, but then the Xbox Film/TV store is also available on PC which could work in its favour.
Naturally, don't quote me on any of this :P I could be talking rubbish...Probably talking rubbish :)
@DarkJedi8_basic: I had the same setup in 2014 :) There's too much choice at that point & not enough hours in the day lol, so i ended up selling off the Wii U & PS4.
