@Neo_Sarevok Actually, yes, it comes out June 5, which is right before E3, so the won't be showing it there. Editors - the ones they cater to - will have played the full game by then.

As grafkhun said, I will hold on to my physical copies forever... Same reason I take Blu-Ray over digital download. Also, I don't really think that this article brings up the biggest difficulty for this company, which will most likely lead them to ruin, and that is the space factor. This isn't regular cloud-computing, where a computer they have can work for 5 or 6 people at a time - somebody playing Crysis on max will take up the power of a single computer by themselves... are they saying they are going to have like, 50,000 computers or whatever completely committed to running the most intense games? Where will they fit them? How will they keep up maintenance on them, and pay for new $600 graphics cards every six months on all of them? I see no way for this company to make money, and as such stay afloat... and because of that, I don't see it having really any impact on the games market. Plus that recording feature is probably going to be in Live in a few months, easily reverse engineered and free with your subscription... I would be careful bragging about it too much.

I hate it when people say you don't need talent to play Rock Band / Guitar Hero... to all of you: Have you ever tried? True to just play on easy and stuff you don't need a lot of talent, but to play harder difficulties, you need to be quite talented. Not the same talent as playing the real thing, but talent nevertheless. This is a good article, pretty a biased one... Very little mention of how Rock Band is bringing small bands out of the shadows through downloadables... also no mention (except of Shackler's) of the pre-release RB songs... I think that is huge in the music industry. From the first time I played Guitar Hero though, I did think this was going to go far... Video games are the future, for sure.
