Is price really how folks decide which to buy? Even if a couple hundred dollars separates them, it does not change my choice.

- socillion 13y ago24 hour checkin (always-online DRM) and restricting game resale/trade is huge. The former has been adequately demonstrated by PR catastrophes like Sim City 2013 and Diablo 3, the latter is also very important to a lot of people who still buy discs. We'll have to wait and see how this translates into sales, but Sony won a lot of points for not caving to publishers on these issues. I suspect a lot of gamers also aren't keen on the Kinect, so the extra $100 for it is another downside.
- Splenivore 13y agoThat must be nice.
- tehwebguy 13y agoThat's not entirely fair, we're talking about premium entertainment devices with a minimum price of $399, the difference is only 20% of that.

In 15-20 years time, when the servers go down and the lights go out. It will be a useless piece of plastic. Hell, in 15-20 years time even the non-collectors who hung onto their consoles will be screwed. Unless the pirates manage to save it from obsolescence.
