Oh, I just remembered I had a cool idea yesterday.

So, Sony really did something special with PS+, but what's the next step? A great source of revenue is found in renting games, Gamefly seems to be doing well enough. What if Sony could get in on that, and actually make it easier and quicker?

So, PSRent would be their rental service, that they introduce later on in the PS4's life-cycle, when it has a big enough library to warrant it. Basically, you can digitally rent a game for say 5.99$ or 4.99$ if you have PS+. You could pay it immediately due to the Gaikai stuff, which releives some headaches of waiting, and you hae access to the game for 5 days. The only catch? Since the title is completely digital and timed, you have to be online to play it.

Another cool part of this would be at the end of your 5 day rental, a box comes up and says "Would you like purchase this game fully?" and you can purchase the game immediately off of the PSN Store, and it is 4.99$-5.99$ cheaper; basically subtracting your rental price. It basically removes all the DRM/rental stuff on it, and then you can immediately go back to your game, except you own it now.

I do like the idea, but I suspect that Sony would fear losing purchases to people who simply decide to rent, and thus they might not do this for new releases. But for back catalog? It seems like a win-win.
 
Alundra 3 Vita, believe.

sure, why not

Alundra revival incoming. :D
 
No they were just guessing, and that was about the MS reveal not E3. They also said it was probably too early for COD so Battlefeild would probably be their instead.

Okay thanks. But if FO4 is at E3 then I definitely think it'll be at the MS conference. I just can't see Bethesda presenting it at Sony's.
 
Ok, anyone have the gif from the Media Molecule presentation at the PlayStation Meeting with Mattrick's and Ballmer's face shopped onto the puppets?.
 
Was talking of this one, actually:

I;ve never seen this picture before is that supposed to be the main screen of the new XMB? I notice at the bottom it says "continue" and "exit" So possibly that menu underneath watch dogs opened when you click on the game maybe? or is this another menu?
 
I'm kind of surprised they so formerly announced Destiny being at the show thinking about it. Outside of leaks, and Nintendo, which are doing their own thing, there's nothing announced for either conference other than Destiny right?
 
Apparently the Witcher 3 at MS's conference rumor isn't very solid since it's from a contributor, Forbes-style.

Is not solid at all.

Dude which typed that article has no credibility. In article he says he talked with someone and TW3 will be on MS press conference.

His rumor is 99% false but TW3 may end up on MS press conference. DRM or no DRM CDPROJECT i think wouldn't want to loose chance like that to show their game to massive amount of people and press.

But it won't be exclusive nor it will have exclusive DLC.

Now I confuse you with that zomgwtfbbq guy.
 
I don't see what's so crazy about security being armed with a holstered pistol or something. It's not like they have machine-guns or something.
 
I find it a bit hilarious The Witcher 3 is premiering at the MS Conference.

Here you have a company which is pushing for DRM Free releases and own a DRM Free store unveiling on a platform with the biggest DRM restrictions we have ever seen.

it's just a rumor for now but would it be surprising? Morals are nothing when money is involved.
