 can easily afford it, I'm principally dead-set against the aforementioned moves that the industry has been force-feeding its customers over the past several years. And, for God's sake, I wish that industry spokesidiots would stop telling everyone that this is what customers are *asking for* — we're most definitely NOT!
Unless they've got some fancy new tech they're holding back on telling us about, there's no real way to do what they're proposing without the internet. Either they'd need to add redeemable serials to the package, or associate a value with your PSN account. Both of those would require your account to talk back to the master server, which wouldn't work without internet.
Internet is still a premium in most places, and I can't see a major company like Sony deliberately excluding a major part of the population just to spite Gamestop.
Yeah, when a console named after urine can sell, then I don't see Sony having much of a problem selling one whose name might remind 13 year-old boys of breasts.
"4) Horrible Name."
Need I remind you of "Wii"? Names don't have much effect on sales when there are only 3 names.
Seems the next generation of gaming is going to require a modded unit right off the bat sadly.
I'm hoping you're spot on about this, Masked.
Because this checklist, for the most part, sounds like a great reason to stop buying consoles, as I've only owned PlayStations since the first one came out. I'm getting a lot more out of PC gaming these days anyways.
There's no real way to restrict the playing of used games without using serials. And, until high speed internet becomes standard for EVERYONE in the regions these things come out in, serials and a mandatory persistent online connection makes absolutely no sense. Whoever came up with this is just trolling.
see, even the supposed PS4 like the X720 or whatever it'll be is looking into preventing used titles.
as i said, its a bad move, but its a move they CAN and MAY pull off..
What Open Platforms are these? I hope you don't refer to STEAM because I can always disconnect from the net and still be able to play my STEAM games, sans anything from Ubisoft who I haven't purchased anything since this whole "Internet Connection Required" crap started. I'll be damned if I'm in an airport and want to play a game and have to decide between either not paying or spending $8 for an hour of internet connectivity on a highly unsecured wireless network (for which I'd only get about 1 hour of playability… if the Ubisoft server isn't down). Naaaaaaaaah.
I'll say again…
"This could be a good thing with regards to encouraging independents etc, but not good at all for companies like Sony…"
I've not come across many Independent (As in Indy) PC games that require internet connection to play, other than Minecraft, and Notch doesn't mind if people start off by pirating his stuff, so it's kind of an exception to the rule.
It's almost like they WANT people to pirate their games and hack their systems…
Because they are AMD?

Uh, how exactly does the processor/graphical hardware fit in with the rest of the anti-consumer doom and gloom scenario?
What, like the open platforms on a PC that require a constant connection to the internet to play games?
I too find it a little too horrific to be true, but then I can never quite put anything past Sony.
Eventually, as people get more tech-savvy as well as market-aware, creations along these lines will sell about as well as they deserve. I've never really been one for the PC vs Console argument, but stuff like this would probably push people towards to the more open platforms. This could be a good thing with regards to encouraging independents etc, but not good at all for companies like Sony…
The first three would just be handing sales to the ones who advertise that they DON'T do that.
Seriously, if you can advertise that you don't need a constant net connection, and can play used games as well as your backup library, your composition fucked up badly.
Like others said, that's assuming this is all real.
I'm okay with losing backwards compatibility but it's everything else that is a thumb to the eye of consumers everywhere.ESPN’s Marc Raimondi has an interesting article looking at the inside story of how CM Punk returned to professional wrestling with AEW a few weeks ago.
Raimondi’s in-depth look at Punk’s return revealed that while at the United Center waiting for his debut, Punk received a text from his lawyer urging him to sign his AEW contract before walking out through the curtain. Eventually, Punk officially signed his AEW contract 30 minutes before Rampage went on the air.
Punk, as previously reported, also paid for the ice cream bars that were distributed to all fans at the United Center that day. He ordered 15,000 bars from Pretty Cool Ice Cream on August 2 and paid a deposit. Salls Cree, the owner of the ice cream business, said that the order would have normally cost $84,000 but she gave Punk a discount and admitted she had no idea what all the ice cream bars were for. She only realized the next day when she saw the segment on YouTube and her Instagram was filled with messages to buy Punk’s ice cream.
It was also revealed in the article that two weeks before his return, Punk contacted Pro Wrestling Tees owner Ryan Barkan to tell him the news and to design a t-shirt. After getting hooked up with a designer, AEW quickly approved it and PWTees promised a delivery for August 20. The initial batch of t-shirts were printed at a different warehouse to keep the news from getting out to the PWTees staff. To date, nearly 100,000 t-shirts worldwide have been sold.

I think bartenders, like butlers, simply take everything in their stride. Because in that job they've pretty much seen it all before.

After all the players have chosen their Racer, randomly add as many of the leftover Racers to make a total of 6 Racers for the game. If you are playing Wacky Races with fewer than 6 players, there will be a number of non-player driven Neutral Racers who will also join the race. Now that summer’s near, it’s time to show off those abs. But if you don’t have any, worry not, for this shirt will give you that dream physique sans working out. That included drive-through packet pick up the day before the race, mandatory masks before and after the race, a modified, staggered start and no prolonged awards ceremony or post-race party. It also meant removing all of the singletrack sections of the course to reduce close interactions with other runners.
The use of cellular core PVC or ABS is probably one of the dumbest things you could install. Stainless, solid core PVC or ABS and schedule 80 CPVC can be used for condensing units. That particular line isn’t in our code, and https://apkgaming.mobi the install is working greatly. Once the PVC pipe was glued and properly supported, I let it sit for a full 24 hours before I switched on the furnace. I don’t think this is required, but I like to by cautious.
At the end of each episode, the Hooded Claw always vows to the viewers and The Narrator that the next time, he would finally get rid of Penelope and take her fortune.

The Gas Station Owner appears in the Dastardly and Muttley episode, « No Fool Like a Re-Fuel ». In the episode, the Vulture Squardon uses his gas barrels to refuel their planes, as well as drop on Yankee Doodle Pigeon.News
