Along with what everyone has said, people buy new games on steam for absurdly cheap, like legit recent games for a few dollars. The sales are insane and frequent, PLUS Steam isn't a monopoly, the PC has plenty of competition, digital and retail. You have tons of options.Eddie-Vedder

Pikmin looks pretty fun! Nobody cares, but it looks like the best Wii U game so far shown :o

I care.

Just drop the price, and I am there.

So the reason is PS+? makes perfect sense, and you, MS, should learn from Sony, bish!silversix_

It's basically for the obvious reason. It's pretty expensive to run these online servers. 

Stop trying to combat it. Rather, they should make digital games a more appealing product.

Really, everyone should just copy/paste steam model.

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]I have no problem with internet and my PC, 360, and PS3 are all connected every time I turn them on so for me it is not a problem about not having internet but to me it is disgusting Microsoft checks your console every 24 hours and if it can not do it then your $500 console will not work.Ninja-Hippo

I really cannot relate at all to the proposition of wanting to play any game I own right now 20 years from now. Maybe you do, and for you the prospect that you wont be able to is difficult, but for me? At the end of a console generation I usually sell all my old stuff to part-fund the new stuff. I hate clutter.

The thought of having an attic full of the dozens of game machines I've owned over the years with the expectation of actually playing any of them decades from now is completely alien to me.

And besides, BC has been killed off for years now. It's something publishers and platform holders alike seem to have tried to disconnect from. Nobody wants to have to support things they made fifteen years ago.

I probably will not, but the point is that I like that others are still able to play, preserve, and achieve these old video games.

Also, it will be little hard to sales those old games to fund new games, if Microsoft is putting a hammer to used game sales.

But the internet connection? What is the big ****ing deal, seriously? Who really doesn't have internet these days? And if you dont, I struggle to have any sympathy for these people. The world moves on without you.Ninja-Hippo

The XBoxOne is for the upperclass gamers, not the poor. Used games are for peasants, worthless eaters of society.

Because, after all, uppderclass angle worked out so great for the PS3.

That interview was something else.

Screams Sony E3 2006.

So....no price drop huh....

Nope, that would made too much sense.
