a little point.. my secretary's sons' XBL account was hacked and all details compromised and their credit card used for many purchases.. likewise for a few of his friends too..

@Snowx1

maybe he meant that MS wont be doing anything 'new' with the NextBox.. looks me that MS are already scared.. very very scared..

@moviequest14

it's similar to the iSyndrome..

@aeterna789

well actually they are the real smart guys.. their customer base not so much perhaps.. hence the hefty profits..

ohhhh .. ouch... *flinches at the word non-optional*

what does that do to the cost of the unit then ??

@Upat3am

but not on my watch !!! Eddie might want to but i am sure a lot of gamers dont fancy it...

how is this even remotely related to gaming ????

does every piece of iCrap have to make it to Gamespot ????

@Zaistev_basic

yeah, sadly i noticed that too... sony make good hardware.. and then go all apeshit on proprietary stuff and DRM crap.. part of the reason is that they have a stake in music and movie industry too.. so they know the 'value' of protecting IP... i hate that kind of corporate interference..

if this is actually true, Sony better be listening.. if it really wants to win the hearts, and money, of gamers, all it now has to do is to NOT implement the always-on functionality and let gamers use 2nd hand games...

easy peasy lemon squeasy...

so just games.. no violent movies, adult themed music videos or other violent media ???

why rule out just games for this kind of hypocrisy ?

and what about guns that were directly responsible for the violence involved ??

what ever happened to common sense and giving responsibility back to the people.. it is the way people use a certain item rather than the item itself that should be held responsible for any misuse..
