Microsoft doesn't want to let the people know that the Xbox version will be inferior before the masses buy the game

The console with more RAM and much better GPU having the inferior version of a sandbox game? Not likely.

one of the very worst things about psn is that there is no enforcement of any rules or standards for conduct..

i guess sony doesn't care about people obtaining games illegally or posting material in violation of rockstar's terms of use. :(

Right. They care about their customers. And you apparently didn't read the article. Rockstar never asked for banning of consoles. Micro$oft, took it upon themselves to go the extra length.

when did i say rockstar asked them to do that? maybe you read neither the article or my post. and then there's your other post here talking about the ps4...:|

there has never ever been any enforcement for any standards of conduct on psn.

what would be the point?

it would take longer to ban someone than it takes for them to make a new account.

Id have more issue with mah kaks brainless ramblings about how you can still get online on the ps3 with pirated copies of games which is bonkers.

[QUOTE="Pffrbt"]

[QUOTE="R3FURBISHED"]Pre-Release Footage: No pre-release leaked footage of any kind: Any posting of in-game footage from leaked copies of the game prior to its official release date will be taken down, regardless of how the game was obtained. This includes early unboxing videos.

Microsofts policy is to do all it can to eliminate leaked footage prior to a games launch. This is a good thing.R3FURBISHED

Banning people for buying it and playing it early isn't going to stop leaks though. And this is entirely pointless anyway since the game is going to inevitably be spoiled for a lot of people once it's released anyway. This accomplishes nothing.

they are not banning you from playing the game early (did you not read the article?) they are banning you IF you post videos/pictures of the game online before September 17.

If you get an early copy, you can play it you just cannot post any sort of images from the game before its official launch.

Microsoft is making sure to ban the consoles of those gamers who are playing a leaked version of the game and spreading content.

____

And this is Rockstar's policy that is being enforced, not Microsofts. TC really needs to learn how to read.

How about ms and Rockstar can shove it, If people want to find what gta v looks like then they will, If you don't you won't, I think they need to get over themselves.

The only difference I see in those two shots is a different time of day. If the time of day was the same on both versions, they would be exactly the same. Case in point: The building you circled is simply brighter on the PS3 pic because it is in the sunlight, it isn't any "sharper" than the 360 version. Same thing goes for the mailbox, signs, etc.

Have to agree. Different times of day has made lighting changes and that's about it. Still, when they finalyl release it for PC it will be best for sharpness.

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"]Yea because it's not cruel or unusual to punish customers for their distribution's mistakes...airshocker

And MS has been doing it for ages. I have no pity for the dudes who forget to unplug their ethernet cable when playing a game they shouldn't actually have.

If they bought a legal copy....they did nothing wrong.:|

[QUOTE="Cheleman"]You should wait. Like the rest of us. Or ar the very least play it offline. As a sign of consideration to those of us that do have to wait.Cheleman

Why would you even care if other people play it early. Do you vicariously live through other people's enjoyment of a game? Why should they care if you cant play it?

First of all, stop making up words.

Second, whats the point in keeping everyone else waiting when the streetdate's already been broken?

And third, they should because if MS or Sony found out they've been playing the game early, then its bye bye console for them :(

 

Uh, that IS a word.  Also, if a store sells me a game early, **** that I'm playing it.  MS has lost me as a customer (I liked the 360, too).
