How is not being able to sell your games in any way fair?

It says specifically in the article that you will be able to sell or trade your games. Did you read it?

Gotta add the sales tax in the US as well which varies from state to state, at 6% it brings it up to $529.

Then we'd comparing non tax prices in the UK to prices including tax in the US. Even then there are a couple of states in the US that have no sales tax.

Sounds cool. Always wondered. When people judge who wins from MS/Sony/Nintendo does that include games that aren't exclusive but Demo'd at a particular conference, I.E. MGSV at MS etc? Whats Titanfall aboot?

Did YOU read it? Trade in only at "participating" retailers, and only if publishers allow it!

How is connecting once every 24 hours or you can't play your games at all fair?

Read it.

You can play a game offline for 24 hours or you can't play THAT game until you log back in. You can fecking obviously go on holiday for a week and come back to all your games. They don't want people PLAYING the game offline for more than 24 hours at a time, this is to make sure you still own the licence for a game, and to combat modded consoles that can play pirated games offline with no problem.

It's odd, but it's not the end of the world like some are trying to make it out to be.

He's only guessing.
But if you can't buy it without a kinect it may well be more expensive than current models.

That's what I said. If you don't have internet for over 24 hours, you can't play your games until you get a connection, even completely offline games. That's bull**** tbh. Why should I need to be connected, and if I can't, which I can't for a lot of the summer, why should I not be able to play games that I've bought.

Sega announced at E3 that the Saturn would go on sale at select retailers in the US immediately, rather than September like originally announced.

Nope, I'm surely not.

Why would they mention it again today, today was all about the games.

/facepalm

Yeah why would they respond to the huge sh1tstorm over it.

Because they have nothing to say that you want to hear. It is what it is, get over it.

I can't believe that there are people who think 500€ is acceptable. Wow. Titan falls is a timed exclusive- don't doubt that for a second. Bf 4 looked fantastic and makes cod look like garbage. You'll be surprised how many of those games are coming to ps4

Surely they would want to clear up the drama over it or at least attempt to put a positive spin on it.

€499 is fairly expensive.

Some of the trailers they showed look great. Halo for instance made me excited but until I see gameplay footage I'll still not be fully sold.

Dead Rising 3 looked great. Very impressive.

Really wanted to see more of Quantum Break. For me that was one of the more intriguing trailers. Definitely a game I'll be keeping close tabs on.

Could take or leave Battlefield 4. That demo they showed looked exactly like a Black Ops mission.

Forza looks as great as ever.

Would've liked Microsoft to talk more about the confusion about used games but I really liked that conference bar minor technical issues.

Oh and that new MGS game looks fúcking awesome.

I'm sure I'll pick up an Xbox One at some stage. I guess it depends on Sony's conference.

I think Microsoft can be proud of their conference and what they've showed but a quick clarification of used games etc and they'll probably shift a few people sitting on the fence.

I guess today? Fable 3 is free after all.
