    I never know whether to laugh or cry when it's made out that having to have a disc in a machine is such a big hassle. If people really can't see their way clear to getting off their arses for 2 minutes to swap a disc, then we are truly fucked as a species...

    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.

    I absolutely adored this game and I really hope Capcom makes a sequel. too bad it seems like it was a sleeper/cult hit, so I doubt that will happen. In fact I may make another trip into the game with my main Pawn Mongo.

    But I'm still paying for an Kinect no matter if I wan't it or not? Yes. And I'm still paying more for a console with worse hardware than it's competitor that is cheaper? Yes. Microsoft could implement all these restrictions they beleive in with time? Yes. I'm still not allowed to sue them if I buy the console? No. And Microsoft doesn't feel like they betrayed and took a dump on all of their customers and therefore isn't appologizing? Nope. Well then I'm still sticking with the superior, customer friendly competitor SONY. Microsoft still need to learn to listen from the start, and not just try some BS and hope they will trick us. So they shouldn't have a good start with the X1. PS4 should start out dominating, after that, we move on and see if they learned or they are going to BS us again. But I'm sure there is a lot that doesn't give a F, and is going to buy it anyway, even if they haven't backed out. The same people who would have made MS restrictions cemented on all consoles and afterwards start complaining, like they weren't part of it.

    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.

    It wouldn't come to that. Patent trolls are only after money. If they win, they settle on royalties. They don't want to completely shut down sales, they just want a free ride. I'm not real familiar with IA Labs, but they sound like a classic patent troll. They bought the patent from someone else because they thought they could go after Nintendo with it. IA Labs didn't invent the patent they were suing over. If you aren't familiar with these types of "companies" they really are the lowest form of life, perhaps only a notch above Sundusky. And sadly they are everywhere suing every company.
