idea for sony

:roll: well considering any given game could easily be 25 GB.. that wouldn't be very practical...americahellyeah

[QUOTE="americahellyeah"]:roll: well considering any given game could easily be 25 GB.. that wouldn't be very practical...danimal233

i think if u purchase a game, it should come with some sort of code that u can use at least once to install the game on the HD so u dont need the disc.....im sick of disc swapping.WutTimeIsIt

hey i have an idea as well! maybe instead of giving you an optional install sony could hand out speed so that people who are lazy are ever so slightly less lazy so that they can change the disk for themselves. (don't really need to put /sarcasm right?)

obviously i'm being sarcastic and drugs use is never encouraged. and sorry, swapping 1 bad idea for another is never clever.

[QUOTE="warbmxjohn"][QUOTE="americahellyeah"] yeah.. but thats the code thing he was talking aboot, so you could only install it once.. but you know that someone would create a hack and then people all over would just be renting games from blockbuster or wherever and installing them..americahellyeah

here's a suggestion to Sony..starting collecting fees from PSN users like MS..use the money to improve the PSN and also DLC..what 3601 have is a must for us to have..tht's my opinion thoughGarudo

[QUOTE="_Pinbot_"][QUOTE="WutTimeIsIt"] lmao, worst idea Ever.WutTimeIsIt

No, you are wrong again. I don't like having to pay for online service (if that is what you were trying to say thorugh your terrible spelling and grammar), but doing it offers us something better than what we are getting with PSN right now, then I am all for it.

[QUOTE="WutTimeIsIt"] thats why i recognize you both from System Wars.....look, just cuz u dont like paying for online, plz dont desire for us to too.WutTimeIsIt

No, you are wrong for a third time. That quote was made in System Wars, and you know what they say, "What happens in System Wars, stays in System Wars."

AND.. we already can get some games over PSN (that are practical in size to store on your hdd), so making the whole "buy the disk so that you can extract data from it onto you hdd through a 1 time code" redundant. and also a waste of time, space and money, naturally. and that doesn't include the pirating/stealing/etc. the guys i quoted are talking about. Mr. hellyeah, America and Sir 233, danimal, if you will :P

[QUOTE="americahellyeah"][QUOTE="danimal233"] not to mention you could give the disc to a friend, therefore they would be losing sales..Rakuho

I understand that,

Let me get back to your idea: don't you see the kind of problems that could arise from that? the idea itself works, in fact i like it. (even if that would mean buying a load of hdd space) but it would only function in a perfect, honest and crimeless world.

look at what's happneing to PSP games. people have homebrew programs which allow them to play PSP games in cso and iso formats without the umds (granted, sony is doing the same thing by selling psp games over psn, but i think that's more of an effect to the pirating). If PS3 games could be extracted easier thanks to code extraction function, hackers would easily be able to go around it and upload full games on the internet, which, through some other homebrew program, you'll be able to play on your ps3. i don't think that's so farfetched, do you? I only care that the gaming industry continues to earn profits, giving them the incentive to earn more by producing games. I understand things aren't so black and white, but i would still rather break my back changing disks than granting such technology to the public. the discovery of nuclear energy was great too, before people started using it blow **** up. call me conservative, if you will. Maybe we'll talk when the PS4 (did he just say PS4.., yeah, he did) comes out as of how the whole game format and transferability will go.

how do you know they're effieciently using the money they collect from live fees. Do you honestly think that the functions that they have on live are worth the money you spend on it? There's actually an answer to this question: NO, it's not worth the money. BUT, because MS patented a lot of ****, they own monopoly rights, that means they can charge you right through your a$$ (well, they can't really do that becasue there exists a reasonable price, and anything above that starts shifting the demand). and why do they get you to pay for their service? because live has attractive features other game internet services do not. and if there's anything to learn in economics, people would pay a premium for uniqueness/exclusivity (if it's intrinsically worth it to them).

how often can you say you just ate free lunch, economically speaking? I'm not comparing anything, i'm just saying the services provided DO NOT warrant a price tag, but people sometimes think it does.To update live/psn all that happens is that a team of programmers fixe/add some new function(s) (which is usually not to difficult) and with a click of a button, every PS3/360 owner can update to the new firmware. Where are the costs, other than the ones of paying the programmers for their time? now unless these guys demand such compensation, i'd say there's a surplus laying around. there has to be, where's the proof? PSN is free.

u truly are the last guy :P (u have to post again though)Rakuho

Yeah, I was hoping somebody would notice my little posting spree:P
