    Am I the only one who realizes how easy of a fix this is? I'm not a fan of DRM, but I'm not a hardcore gamer anymore. And my kids have been ruining discs since I found my "unopened" copy of GT3 being used to clean the floor. A few of these features were aspects I was really looking forward to. I don't even have a cable-net connection but saving disc games online was VERY attractive for a poor-dad like me. Allow ALL of the above features IF you have a constant connection. If you disconnect or cantt get internet for the day or something, then you have to have the physical disc. Sharing and other bonus features would be disabled accross the account until you signed in. How hard would this be to implement?

    Am I the only person who actually prefers to have physical copies of things rather than digital? Games, music, movies... I always, ALWAYS choose the disk over downloading.

    I hope people realize that if you sell direct to a person, and don't go through an approved reseller, that someone will have to pay that fee. I hope people also realize that permission on transferring titles is up to the publisher (meaning they could also block used titles too if they wanted). I hope that people also realize that there are restrictions on letting people borrow your game, since it has to be loaded through XBL, not handing a disk to someone. I hope that people also realize that this means you have to have an XBL subscription just to borrow a single player game from a buddy, while at least this is still free for PS users. I hope people realize that even all of the above, MS has stated could change at any time, so even the parts that seem ok can be taken away at any time. Summary, any action you take with a game you bought other than play, you pass along an electronic request to MS for permission. MS grants or denies based on CURRENT policy. And this is supposed to make people feel like they have a lot of flexibility with something the LAW says they have a RIGHT as a consumer to distribute FREELY? Connect the dots people: - Publishers complain about used game sales - MS creates feature to block used game sales - MS states "we aren't blocking yet" - Publishers stated "we aren't either" we just want a *little* fee - MS states, "but we can change this at any time" hehehehe Makes a rational person wonder why they went to all the trouble to implement a DRM system they aren't going to use and "have no immediate plans" to use. Or that their partners make similar statements about. Strange. Could have saved a lot of effort, especially when anyone with a brain could have told them it would be unpopular. It's also breaking the part of the law on copyright that's supposed to protect consumers. I'm sure they are doing it in a very clever way that skirts things though.

    I hope that the people who believe that they will be charged a fee for used games actually educate themselves on facts rather than the words of a bunch of Sony fanboys. The fee is not charged to the customer, it is charged to places like gamstop, gamefly, etc.

    DAT ACCENTS Ah Dragons Dogma, as described by Cooper in RadioRadar as "Capcom trying to get white people to like Monster Hunter" The games great, and its still pushing itself in its own direction, i agree with Bladedfalcon that it was underrated

    yay! people can finally shut up and focus on the awesomeness that's coming later this year! already have both preordered, but this is welcome news, nonetheless. i give them props, it takes balls to admit when you're 'wrong'. listening to your customers is smart business practice, regardless of people's (like myself) appreciation for sticking to one's guns. kinda weird, but this has actually diminished my interest in my ps4, just a tad, as i don't really know what games i would even want to play on it at launch. the jury's out on any new ips, and any multiplayer games will be for x1/pc until sony can prove they have improved their online infrastructure. forza will absolutely destroy drive club, and until sony shows it can equal or surpass the xbox's third party quality, it's x1/pc all the way. what appeared to be a possible paradigm shift has instead filled me with a weird sense of deja vu. will the ps4 become an 'exclusives only' box like my ps3? i guess we'll see.

    What a cocky response from MS, "we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds." I wouldn't call your recent decision to bow down "the best of both worlds" as much as you're simply following the industry standard and not creating a new one based on pure greed. If you don't like MS, go back to your old ways and watch your pre-sales take another hit. What a bunch of jack-asses...

    The soundtrack in Remember Me has been really enjoyable so far. I think Deriviere did a great job pairing the music with the overall setting/look of the game; it meshes together really well.
