And to see next gen games, isn't that the whole reason to watch E3 in the first place?
Add "preorders open now." They just won with that.
I'll be watching it for those third party games I'll play on PC or PS4...
Indeed.

Yep. That was pretty strong too.
Right, that's why I am saying I would love it if it did mean that. It definitely doesn't hurt that there was that rumor about Capcom's DR3 being exclusive to XBone and Capcom's DD(2) being exclusive to PS4. So if one part of that is confirmed it lends more credence to the other part being true as well. I hope so at least.

MS's presser is going to be something special.

That's too kind. I'd say it will turn out to be the Zune of consoles.

It really doesn't surprise me.
Activision has never pushed for DRM for their console games and is seemingly ok with used game.
Most of the blame in this situation should be on Microsoft, followed by EA/UBI.

It's interesting that Activision isn't as supportive. They probably have statistics showing that a lot of people trade in their games to buy call of duty or something.
Wouldn't be surprised.

I am a silver member, but on my Xbox Home tab right now is a big banner with the Xbox One with the message "Buy 3 months, get 3 months free".
Before the announcement I would typically get offers for deals on 12 month memberships. It is a little weird.
Also a bit annoying when you consider how much they nag Silver members to upgrade to gold. (But thats a whole different topic.)
Well the games will have trailers and cut down walkthroughs afterwards.
Extreme flood of positive reporting from multiple media sources, hype, positive word of mouth and huge push from retailers having a stake in one console selling substantially more than the one that cuts their balls off can be a powerful force. Just like bad word of mouth can hurt console sales.
IF, and thats a big IF, Sony is smart any DRM plans they did have are in the process of being nixed right now as we speak and should be announced at some point shortly. Again, thats if they were smart.
They make a lot of money from DLC sales of used games.

I think the most telling thing of all this info is the fact MS approached game publishers, not the other way around. I would be upset, but this tells me that these DRM plans are Microsoft's, and Microsoft's alone, and that lessens the chance that Sony adopts it as well.
Yes we've seen this type of business practice before so why emphasize on what we already know? I'm assuming MS is taking this a step further.... what that mean I'm not entirely sure.
This puts EA's E3 line-up at:
-Titanfall
-Mirror's Edge 2
-Dragon Age 3
-Battlefield 4
-Plants vs. Zombies 2
-Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
-Need For Speed: Rivals
-Command & Conquer
-Star Wars Plans
-The Sims 4
-Madden
-FIFA
-UFC
-NBA
This is probably better than anything they've had in quite some time.
Or that people who buy CoD used often buy map packs

CoD sells 20 million a year. Used barely effects them and the value is always high. The rest of their games on are PC.

And used gamers continue to keep the multiplayer alive since there's no extra fee for it.

DRM can be worse:
- Even discs are useless six months after release. Once they say it's not a game, it's not a game.
- A limit on the amount you can trade, resell or pass on games. Say, three a year.
- If your account is banned from Live, your games are deleted.

Well its partially an extension of their shitty Windows 8 ideas.

It's going to be showcasing a ton of exclusive* games, along with gaming-relevant OS features, including the revamped Xbox Live and sharing/social functionality.
They won't touch the controversial stuff. Not on stage.

Thanks for all the info CBOAT. GAF appreciates you.

I figure it's just because 90% of their revenue comes from two multiplayer-focused franchises which are not heavily traded in.
Noticed that too. Just made me realize that they might be giving people three free months because the membership would extend pass the Xbox One launch.

I doubt they want to explain why silver users can't play the next Fable or Halo because of the cloud processing.

I've also heard multiple times in the last few days that the microsoft DRM news is going to get worse.
I honestly can't even imagine how it could...? Are the discs going to fucking explode?

This is what Sony and Nintendo both thought going into the N64 and PS3. No one is infalliable in this inudstry.
Jeez if this DRM thing gets worse this place is going to meltdown the next few days.
Impressive lineup.
