Looking at the backwards compatibly modes for every Windows OS back to 95 on my PC. Apparently MS is backwards by their own logic. #dealwithit

I'm just waiting for Anon & the like to hack Xbox Live. Watching the total shit storm over every single one of these becoming useless paperweights will bring a tear of joy to my eye! #dealwithit

I would buy a vita if the price dropped, but not with the asinine memory card prices. Considering how many games have mandatory patches to play online, DLC, and the fact that it has 0 on board memory, the prices are absolutely stupid. $100 for a measly 32gb? No thanks.

I'm disappointed that the fees are so low. Yes, nothing is hack proof. But Sony knew the risks. They were negligent in protecting our data using outdated software with vulnerabilities they knew about, plus they failed to tell us that our data was at risk after the breach that they made the despicable choice of covering up at first, so now they're paying the price.

If you went and hired someone to paint your home while you're away, they ended up breaking a window due to negligence, but then failed to tell you about it for as long as Sony did with our data, during which all kinds of bad things could happen, would you not hold them responsible?

Does preordering the Ellie edition also get you an interview with Chris Hansen?

We already had this discussion when the PS3 was announced. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

@jayjay444 @an2klbswow Couldn't agree with you more on the Steam issue. Yes it's DRM, but it's non-invasive compared to a lot of what's out there. Not to mention it has an offline mode where you can still use what you paid for. It's a far better alternative to what EA and Blizzard have on offer.

The way I see it, if we can't get companies to give up on DRM completely, we might as well convince them to use less controlling & more consumer friendly forms of it in the mean time.

@an2klbswow Look up SecuROM & Starforce for starters. Having DRM that stops your dvd drive from reading other discs, and that in some cases, causes it to stop working altogether are some pretty strong facts. Then we have always online DRM like this game. Bought Diablo 3 and want to play it on the go? Oh wait... you can't play the damn game you bought & paid for without an internet connection, even though you're playing single player in a game series that has always allowed you to do so; just like SimCity. Or we could look at one of the recent Street Fighter games on PC (I forget which one) that renders over half the game's content unusable if you're not online.

The fact is DRM treats honest customers like criminals, while the pirates have no trouble circumventing it. They get the game they didn't pay for with no restrictions, and we get shit on for buying the game legitimately.

Always online for the player's benefit? Separating the online / offline modes so you could get the benefits of each without constrictive drm would truly be in the best interests of the customer. Even if it truly were for the player's benefit, there's no way in hell I would buy it based on the fact that EA shuts down servers for games way too often, & far too soon. I'll be damned if they take away access to a game that should have a single player mode, and that always has had one too.

@Lattata @AlmaDanny I'm pretty sure a $60 buy in doesn't count as free to play. It just means that the game doesn't require a subscription.
