And apparently these anti-used-game tactics are only gonna get worse. Rumours are going around that the next gen consoles are gonna have methods to prevent used games from working in a second unit. I really hope these rumours are false.

There have also been rumours that the next consoles could be download-only and require a constant connection.

What does this have to do with video games? Do you want this moved somewhere else?

Passed Little Big Planet 2. Either Conker's Bad Fur Day (Emulator) or Red Dead.

yeah the download-only is good for everyone except used game buyers. BUT the price could drop if the game companies are decent human beings...yeah no chance.

So far there hasn't been much of a gulf between downloadable versus physical game prices... in fact, that's even more profit for the game developers since there's no manufacturing costs involved with a download, and beyond what they pay Sony/Microsoft for hosting it in their respective stores, I can't see that being more than what they offer retailers for it wholesale.

A persistently on game console isn't a bad thing, and if you think about it - your PC is persistently connected to the internet, so why not your game console? That could make games and updates easier to deliver, and possibly prevent piracy.

Ok, I'm getting along with Fez now. But fuck me, that map is useless!!!!

apparently the Silent Hill HD Collection is a POS....anyone have it? This is infuriating.

On PS3, yeah. The framerate fucks up every minute and people complain about the "different fog" in the third game. A patch was supposed to fix the framerate problem but it didn't change anything.

Yeah the new fog means you can pretty much see the end areas of the game world, completely breaking the illusion of the environment. See for comparison (PS3 on left, original PS2 version on right) -

lol, that's retarded. They don't give a fuck, its all about reselling it. Playstation sucks and i've fucking got one

HA!

The best Silent Hill "HD" versions are the PC versions, which are actually half decent ports.

Don't waste your money on the PS3 HD collection, just get your hands on the PC ports.

Re: used game sales

I think most game developers(if not always upper management) are OK with people selling their games to friends, over ebay, etc.

But the truth is, "used games" really means GameStop as it dwarfs all other methods of trade.

You buy a game for $60 from GameStop. The publisher sees at most $40 of that. The developer sees considerably less.

You play the game for 10 hours or whatever, and sell it back to GameStop for $25.

Joe X goes into GameStop, and sees a new copy of the game for $60 or a used copy for $55. He purchases the used copy. GameStop has just made $30 pure profit. You did not see that $30. The developer certainly did not see that $30.

It would be drastically better if you had just sold your game to Joe X for $25, since Joe would have $30 left over that could potentially be spent on other games.

Most studios scrape by from game to game, so it's cold comfort for someone to say that they'll "reinvest" that $25 on another game, particularly when you can bet GameStop will be using that $30 for their own purposes.

decided to buy borderlands because it is super cheap now. Really good game, way better than expected. I think I was expecting like a shittier cell-shaded fallout 3 with more monotonous battles. Honestly feels more like playing a normal fps campaign, but with REALLY well done rpg aspects. It's a goddamn genius concept and it was pulled off really well.

borderlands is really fun, especially co-op. loot is addictive.

Anyone on psn down for some matches of Third Strike!??

thank you Mr Beker andriod isnt perfect yet

and yes I did get a semi after hearing GoW4 will be out this fall! It will be the shit!

Playing Path of Exile and really enjoying it, Diablo 2 style game, wonderful graphic style and hardcore combat/skill system. free to play too.

Also, ive been playing d3 over the weekend too and i actually find PoF more rewarding, its got a dark as fuck style unlike d3. Yes d3 feels like an AAA title and its polished and perfect and all that crap but it has been watered down from the hardcore games of old which is a shame but to be expected from blizzard.
