that nosedive after today's events

[don't let's]

it's true

absolutely pathetic

well, I won't really applaud them for it but I'll be sufficiently glad

oh doug

To clarify, the affected territories are: Bahrain, Lebanon, Romania, Oman, Slovakia, Malta, Cyprus and Iceland

At least PS4 has a countable number of blocked countries.

Xbox One, however, has probably like 180 of them

well, I won't really applaud them for it but I'll be sufficiently glad

At least they're taking one step in the right direction from 360 now:

Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.

Now Nintendo is the only major console manufacturer that still uses region lock.

Someone's mad.

[Mando Pandango]

aww, poor cliffy. Because if DRM has ever done anything, it's encouraged consumers to buy. Right?

...Right?

Valve would win the next gen console war.

[spoiler]I guess the 8th gen extended console war is between Win7/8/9, SteamBox, PS4, XBone, Wii U, 3DS, Vita, iOS, Google Play, and Ouya
Unless SteamBox is vapourware[/spoiler]

@JimSterling: Won't give MS shit for "backtracking." It did so to our benefit. I won't thank it though. It gets a tiny, near-imperceptible nod of "okay."

I wonder if the sharing features are still going to be in play though

Of course now it's going to be a total mystery as to what it's actually going to launch with. Whether they'll stick to that or change from it too.

All these Bots are doing nothing but hardcore Damage control for MS, so they can feel LESS butt-hurt. ( And Vice Versa for PS )

do want an XBO and a Wii-U, although I'm "more" of a Sony guy, Why can't people just be a fan of ALL games? Not even consoles, GAMES.

I have both PS4 and XBO on pre-order at GameStop. Let's all just have fun with our titles and game the fuck on! \m/

Hopefully I can pick up a WU around Xmas. ^^

we need some animated gif where the tears actually flow

*Sony* forced Microsoft’s hand, not the internet whining.

I think the internet whining had more to do with it
