It's a hack, but preorder from Amazon, get the code (they send it automatically) and then cancel the preorder.

If you saw "NO BENEFIT" to an always-connected console, you weren't looking hard enough or you had made up your mind prior to actually thinking about it. Nothing I can say here will change your mind then. I invite you to think again, there are benefits there.

Yes, yes, funny impersonation and lots of fucks and maybe a twat or two thrown in, don't remember. Let's not forget that Mr. Sterling was on the tip of the spear when it came to MS attempting to go all digital. A number of us desperately want to go all digital, stick these pre-order bullshit...

In other news: Jim wasn't invited to GDC, and now he's sad :( I keed, I keed, but really, is this the "Preventing Backlash" presentation in question? http://schedule.gdconf.com/session-id/828021 Sounds a lot less dick-ish than Sterling makes it out to be.

MS's policy reversal is the biggest disappointment of the year. Instead we now have two wildly similar consoles that changed very little from last generation. All this standard Sterling-bullshit about "Rabble! The consumers' rights are no more!" has put this industry behind.

Just played about an hour of Stanley Parable. It's one of those games that, if I was still in high school, I'd be "Whoa, this game is like so deep I like don't even like understand it but it's SOOOOO cool." As an adult, I'm like "Dafuq?" I think it's highly pretentious.

Mocking? I certainly didn't mean for it to sound demeaning. We all make stupid purchases, I'm in that camp more often than not, but I don't blame whoever I buy from. Companies exist to make money, it SHOULD be a worthless argument, but it's not, because people will continue to slam publishers...

"Have some fucking dignity game industry." LOL, said by the legions of people who feel the need to continually fork over a couple bucks to buy in-game currency or in-game goods or whatever. Your dignity's over there, it fell out of your pocket when you busted your wallet out to buy your 20th...

Meh, I dunno, I'm having fun exploring the XBone. And screw that, MS tried to mix things up, everyone bitched.

Biscuit has a much more convincing argument that's not padded by "Hey look at the cool clothes I'm wearing and now I'm talking in a different voice trying to be funny".

Far more convincing argument... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G_f8YBy39M#!
