For both systems paying for online play is fine you get some good incentives and it keeps the network strong and more reliable. Having to pay to watch Netflix or anything else like that on the XBOX is just plain stupid. I should just be able to watch netflix as long as I have the internet streaming through my system. I HOPE Sony doesn't follow suit and do that. Pay to play online, alright I can deal with that. Paying to watch a movie on Netflix that you're paying for a subscription to already is completely unacceptable.
@Vict95 Splitfish FragFX controller? That's what I use. The console makers really need to give us the option to play with a keyboard and mouse. I can't play a first person shooter with that damned controller!
I play on consoles because it's just easier for me to play the games that I want. I don't have to worry about specs and stuff. You just put in the disk and the game works. Usually with little to no slowdown. I don't need the graphics to be flawless either. A few jaggies and imperfections here and there never bothered me. I know that Witcher 2 had some of the most beautiful graphics out there, and I've played it on my 360, and it was a great experience. Trust me if I had the time, and money to put a decent PC together to play the games I want I would. I've been out of that game so to speak for a while and I don't want to worry about pricing parts or have to worry about whether or not this part is actually good enough for the machine. Certain skills are required to keep said machine optimized and running at it's full potential, I don't have those skills, and I don't need to be bothered with them. Consoles are NOT for everyone, but for me right now it's the way to go.
@mojoboy31 @scatterbrain007 Well yes but "Ellie"? Ellen page? They look the same too. Someone subconsciously had to have had Ellen Page in their head on the ND Team. Anything's possible though, I dunno.
For a while when these games were announced which were kind of close to each other I thought they wer both starring Ellen Page. It also didn't help the confusion with "Ellie" being the girl's name in "The Last of Us". Things like this happen though. Amy Adams, and Isla Fisher are almost identical looking. Thomas Jane and James Purefoy almost look alike as well. Even names can screw you up... There are 2 actors in Hollywood with almost the same name, just reversed, David Keith, and Keith David. I also used to get Teri Hatcher, Jami Gertz, and Alyssa Milano confused...those 3 can be sisters.
@zenstrata I've never played Diablo 3 or that Sim City game so I don't know about those games. I have used the Onlive service to try out games before. Games that will not play at all on my PC had I bought the disk for them, and they ran near perfect with that Onlive service. So cloud computing does work, and it works well from my experience. I do have a 10 meg DSL connection though.
Mattrick (I think it was Mattrick) turned me off when he said "Iif you want to play offline keep your 360 because the Xbox One isn't for you". What company says that ANY of their products are NOT for you? Is the Xbox One for everyone now Mr. Microsoft?
@Homerj Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw this article. That always on stuff is something the military probably will not tolerate. If there is a possiblity of a hacker hacking into the kinect to listen in at a military base no matter how insignificant the military installation is, they'll ban it plain and simple. All jokes aside, when it comes to security, the military do not screw around.
