I dont think there is anything legally stoping them from future firmware update to run their DRM scenario. Have you ever read their license agreements? You know, the ones we scroll down 50 pages, or just click accept when initially setting up a system or when updating..... They reserve the right to pretty much do what ever they want with their software and additionally any use of it on the hardware we "buy"!

I just refuse to believe they would have the balls to after recent events.


This is true, nearly every big time company has in their terms stating, We have they right to do what ever we want even if you are using are services.

All companies reserve the right. Hosting companies reserve the right to terminate web hosting service for any reason, no reasons are needed. Yet they still have a 100,000 word AUP to try and cover every base. Same with Tweaked but Tweaked would never terminate without valid cause. lol

There's nothing exceptional about that, and I bet Sony as a similar clause.

Now, they now know people won't stand for things like that so I feel they will be hard pressed to try DRM anytime soon. Hell, all companies want it like that especially the publishers of games. MS just had the balls to try it. They impress me...

So.. Microsoft is in the battle (now?). Still, there are so many guys buying a PS4 before the Xbox one even now when they changed the "bad stuff" they said first.

Gonna be fun to see the sales the first week. Smile

Inside European Union they can't.

about license agreement if you sign that I have the right to kill you that makes homicide legal?

I think Sony is getting desperate making people saying that. the drm reversal was the critical moment of this Gen console war that is about to start in November

Lawling at how you say Sony is desperate for this and that but yet this whole topic is about Microsoft changing their rules about DRM policies because they knew it would of killed sales.

And then people are talking about fanboyisim on here. lol

IT IS CHEAPER
- User Upgrade-able HDD
- No Worries about microsoft name branded equipment not working.

Sony lost it's ace in the hole? Microsoft was scared shitless of loosing so they basically admitted they were being retarded and took it off.

Since we only see the positive about the PS4. How about some of the negatives?

Far inferior network and server hardware.
No cloud anything?? for 6 months or more after launch. Does anyone know what their cloud will be? How many servers? just cloud storage or the superpower of the processing too?? One thing's for sure it won't match MS
Inferior online service
Does not come with the Eye toy.
Less cool controllers
Takes up more space than it could because of the odd slant in the case design.
Made by Sony ?? only kidding hahahaha
At least for me, which is a negative towards the PS4, there's more games I am interested on the xbone than the piss4

If anyone else can think of more valid negatives about the PS4 please feel free to express themselves.

Both PS4 and the xbox one are near equals in the game console hardware department. Both have negatives and both have positives. They are not the same but I doubt you can go wrong with either choice. Even with the above negatives, I would get a PS4 which I will do some day. I do hope Sony matches MS in every way and vice versa. Let this be the biggest game console war ever in history!!!

And the Eye Toy is just a camera and not an advance 3D sensor like the Kinect.

Not mention that most of the exclusives (judging by E3) are the typical Japanese games which I personally don't appreciate
