[QUOTE="4-Legged-Shark"]

I would like the unveiling of the PS4 to actually surprise me in some way. I would like them to show something that I wouldn't have thought of.

Absolutely!!! I want something original and refreshing! Like a new version of PS+ that gives you unlimited streaming of all PS1, PS2 and PS3 games. THAT would make this system a must have! I would pay $30/month for that...

don't give them ideas...

More than anything I want a reliable console, that means no red ringing/yellow lighting or dying a few years after I buy it, inconveniently after the warranty expires. My Sega Genesis, N64 and PSone are still working perfectly fine, so for a console created with today's modern technology to fail is inexcusable.

[QUOTE="mav_destroyer"]@sruane23 You've yet to prove anything about my posts "ignorant", but for what it's worth same to you. Narrow minded perspective and stubbornness will get you no where.sruane23

I think I've been pretty open minded. Trust me, I get where everyone's frustration is coming from. I also see how it will be a profitable decision for the businesses. I'm realistic that my opinion won't change their decision and I don't mind paying a few dollars more for games I will enjoy. Don't really see how I am ignorant, thanks though.

Good, keep thinking that way.

@Kravyn81 Yep, pretty much. xD I honestly would LOVE to see Gamestop and other retailers respond to a ban on used games with a ban on sale of used consoles. I bet you the console makers will be in an uproar over it and it would just expose their hypocrisy. @sruane23 I understand you wish to support the industry better, but that's something you do for yourself, its not something that should be forced upon everyone else. By allowing these companies to get away with practices that violate your rights as a consumer you open up a door for even more questionable behavior, not to mention other companies in other industries will be encouraged to do the same. And again NO it does NOT make sense from a business perspective to implement such features. By implementing such restrictions they'll only lose a lot of customers. It will also give a great advantage to competitor consoles. In a nutshell from a business perspective its suicide. The only people that would still support such a decision are tools who think just because this doesn't affect them it doesn't matter (not because it makes sense). Again, take a close look at who's complaining about used games, EA? Sony? Nintendo? They're all high profile publishers not even developers. If you honestly feel they aren't getting enough profit then start with yourself and stop buying all your games used. By all means do support them but don't support them screwing everyone over.

@sruane23 Business sense: If a product (in this case game) is good customers will buy it new and recommend it to others. If a product is mediocre the first adopters will not recommend it as well as sell their copies/products. Customers unsure about a product like to demo, rent or buy used rather than spend a fortune on something they're not 100% positive will be worth their money (and they have every right to, especially in these economic difficulties) Just because a game was sold used doesn't mean the creators/publishers/developers don't get profit. They still make plenty of profit from micro-transactions, DLC, peripherals, merchandise, etc. That's not to mention if someone plays a used game and likes it the chances of them buying new or pre-ordering the sequel or other games from the same company increase. They become regular fans/customers for said company. Laws in pretty much any country say if you buy something you own it and if you own it you have the right to use it, sell it, destroy it, throw it away, etc... That's business sense for ya. If I can buy any product other than games used and no one b*tches about it or dictates where or how I should spend my money, then I don't see why I should give game companies a special exception. If you like getting screwed over then that's your problem.

PS2 support on PS3, PSV or PS4 (just anything) More Vita games and exclusives Vita price drop and/or more bundle and color options Would love to hear more updates or support for Playstation Mobile (I know a lot of people don't care about it, but meh) I'm sure by the time E3 comes around PS4 would have already been announced so it'd be nice to see a decent game lineup for it at E3.

First off, its not unusual for companies to leak rumors on purpose to see their customers' reactions. This could be one of those times. Second, if Xbox implements this then so will Playstation. They might be rivals but that doesn't mean they don't communicate with each other. I don't think its a coincidence that both PS3 and Xbox360 has almost identical specs even though the hardware was different. They have to draw a line somewhere if they want to stay in the business. Say one of the next gen consoles implemented a block for used games while the other didn't. The console with blocking would flat out flop in the market against its competitors, not to mention its company will suffer backlash from retailers that will refuse to sell games or hardware for them. Third point, I imagine if one or both consoles decided to block used games a lot of people would boycott them and seek other alternatives. Even if some players don't buy used games I think a sizable percentage will still not buy the next gen just on principle. Lets face it, banning used games is just dumb and it doesn't make any sense. No one blocks sales of used cars or books, heck, even used consoles don't get blocked (I'd like to see them push for that one), so there's no logical or legal bases for such a thing.

I haven't played dishonored but Hitman is definitely a great game. It has big emphasis on stealth but still provides other methods to carry out missions. The game has a high replayability value and rewards you for trying different approaches each time. Stealth works well in the game but it can be challenging (in a good way) so it would probably take a few tries before finishing a level.

On the console I don't eat/drink, it distracts me from the game and I don't want to get the controller dirty. On PC I actually have room to put coffee mugs or a small bowl so yeah, and I don't mind messing up the keyboard and mouse. Yeah I'm biased with my toys hehe.
