What if they are still deciding between 3 shells?
Seriously, this is getting overboard. A computer case is just a case!
If you want to complain about something legit, name the price!

I'm just using it as an example and it was the first thing that came to mind. Yes, the price is another factor. Possibly playing used games. There's still things we don't know about the PS4.

I'm amused by the reactions here to that tweet.

That's true, I didn't read all the details of that hack. But even in that case it doesn't mean much for all the "home spying" paranoia. Servers are meant to be accessed and controlled remotely, unlike clients like a console. I'm not even sure of the kind of hacked account that gave him access to the servers (maybe not a regular employee ID), but anyway having access to the server doesn't mean that he has access of any PC/hardware that connects to that server.
In other words, even if he could shutdown the main server, he couldn't shutdown Steve Ballmer's personal laptop. Just like if someone breached the Xboxlive server, it wouldn't give him the ability to start a video stream on your console.
O.K. Hypothetical. There is still things that we do not know about the PS4. For all we know there is something there that will piss off gamers. Now, with 3rd parties being heavily involved with both consoles, its more than likely that each manufacturer knows some of them secrets.
If Sony go on the offensive, its more than likely MS will drop a titbit about the PS4 that has journalists and gamers asking questions to Sony.
If Sony stay quiet, any attack by MS will just look like they are fishing and throwing their toys out of the pram. If a shitstorm is big enough (like this is) MS gets covered in the stuff and Sony's hands remain spotless
Yeah, their deep, dark secret. WHAT IF THE BOX IS SHAPED IN AN ANTI-CONSUMER FASHION!

Nope, I didn't. But I should have known i guess. Then again, how can you assume that I do? It's +4000 messages buried in this topic.

For what reason is it ridiculous? The technology is already there and if the rumours are true, kinect will be required to be always on and the box must be always connected to the internet.
It is but a small step from there to use kinect to gather data on how many people are in its field of view when the box is being used. The patent has nothing to do with my suggestion.
I haven't played DS3, currently playing 2, so I used the word seems for that reason. I also said strongly encouraging not force i.e. each time you don't have enough resources.
Looking at the change to the weapons and items system from previous games I can see no good gameplay reason for changing it from nodes to one that includes the option to purchase dlc.
It's in the OP... :lol

Or read the op, but that would be hard.
hahahaha. Dying here.
To be fair, he could have read the OP before it was updated to include the gif in question.
Isn't one of the new apps MS is developing for the new xbox remote use; i.e. such as a phone app that will let you control parts of the system from your phone? Or am I imagining something?
That in and of itself would lead some sort of hair-brained credence that some hacker could view you through kinect remotely.
That doesn't even take into account the thousands of verified gamertag hacks that have happened because of EA, MS, and Fifa. MS and EA still to this day haven't said anything was their fault and blame it on all the users who have their account hacked. Hell we don't even know how pervasive it is because MS refuses to release information about the on-going hack.
Yeah I wouldn't trust an online-only system from them right now.

They have something similar for the current Xbox with Surface tablets, W8 phones and probably W8 PCs, but I don't have a Xbox to confirm, just watched it on some tech demo they did recently.
They'll probably have it improved on the new Xbox.

Its so funny because everything that has been made in this thread has been reposted numerous times:
Gaf>Internet>Gaf
Gaf>Internet>Gaf
That's what I thought. And with so many devices that have the capability of controlling something remotely, their system is going to be tested by "hackers" unlike anything we've ever seen before. There will be a loophole somewhere and someone will find it unfortunately.

Now Im curious where you came across it?
Again, the first post was updated to include the gif. It's quite possible that he read the OP prior to that update.
Stop jumping on the guy, people.

I'm showing that the first post was last updated at least 12 hours ago.

That GIF was in the OP yesterday afternoon when my Internet started working again and I discovered this thread.
Love it...
No kidding. I read the OP when the thread started almost 2 days ago. That gif wasn't there. It was updated sometime afterward to include it. If I didn't recognize it, is it fair to accuse me (or anyone else) of not reading the OP? Sheesh.
I beat you as my internet was down for 2 hours. It may have been longer but I was asleep when it must have disconnected

I would hope most people are aware that with news this big, the OP is constantly updated. It's a great way to stay informed without having to ask repeated questions or post content that originated on this thread in the first place.
MS unofficial response: Deal with it or move somewhere else. Why would you want to live in those places where your internet would ever go down for 15 minutes anyway?
This is lovely.

Good point.
When I was thirteen I cared about what my console looked like too.
Oh wait a minute...no I didn't. All I cared about was what games I could play on them.

I get it. I made a bad example and followed up with that soon after.

Wait, what? Is this confirmed? Pretty harsh if true, very silly comments but losing a job in these times is a downer.
