Any cooler and someone from Sony would have said the following...

"Here's a little pre-holiday greeting I've been wanting to send to the Xbone. I just didn't know how to phrase it until now. My name is Playstation 4 and I'm not afraid of you. I know you're a coward. So I've decided that you just died, pal. I'm gonna come get the body."

I've never gone back to back generations with the same company, and it looks like I'll be switching again. Had a 360 and still love the thing but my PS4 is already on the horizon. Sony learned from the mistakes it made last generation and has won me over. It's too bad too, I was super-hyped that MS might improve on the 360 formula, instead they took a crap all over it.
Same feelings here.

No backwards compatibility, Anti- consumer practices, DRM related nonsense and pure outright greed regarding used games... Not to mention arrogance has put me well off xbox one.

I think you're right, though I hadn't joined PS+ yet. Matter of fact I think I saw Deus Ex for download this morning when I was updating. Makes it worth paying the little extra

I have been an xbox fan since its inception but the last few weeks have me seriously thinking of converting. I am not 100% sure to what, pc gaming, the new playstation or maybe even waiting for the new steam machine but I do not want to go near xbox unless they change what they are doing.

I feel a little bit betrayed which is weird cause I am not a fan boy or anything close. (the controllers were more comfortable to be honest in my view) but it just seems wrong what they are doing and I will if I have to vote with my cash. Its as simple as that.

Sony, you magnificent bastards. This video is just pure gold. It's one of the funniest things they've done since the Kevin Butler ads.

I may still be on the fence about this console generation, but Sony definitely beat Microsoft at E3. It wasn't even a fair fight.
Damn I forgot about the Kevin Butler ads, those were great. XD

OT: Not only did Sony burn Microsoft badly with this video, Sony Sega Saturn'd them just like back when the Sega Saturn was announced and Sony undercut them by $100. Ah seems we've gone in full circle, Nintendo being Nintendo, Microsoft being like Sega in the console race, and Sony burning the competition.
Ah yes, status quo has been restored. XD

Come on people, we all know the xbones gonna sell loads. The people who are the most vocal about hating it are a very small minority of consumers who will buy it. I doubt it will sell as much as the 360, and the PS4 will out sell it. But it will still sell a load.

Although I did like hearing the free downloadable games for Xbox Gold subscribers...just too little too late.

It did, and then there are the many sales too. Not as amazing as the Steam sales or some of the Nintendo eShop sales, Super Metroid was $0.30 the other day, but it's still pretty good. I have PS+ right now and the pricing is really good if you ask me. What majorly put me off the Live service was that it raised in price and the MS point system was stupid. I know they are getting rid of the points, but I'm not getting an Xbox One so it doesn't matter.

Microsoft, I must admit I'm feeling rather sorry for you now. So here, borrow this:


Oh! Wait, I forgot! You disapprove of sharing; because it's socialism/piracy.

*Highfives Sony*

Well played boys.

Well the announced you need playstation plus to play online now but outside that ya I agree.
Aw man, that fucking sucks. Not that I'm an avid online gamer, but that's my problem - There might only be a few games that I want to play online - think a Dark Souls or Journey - but that isn't worth paying a monthly fee of like 60 bucks or whatever.

This is a pickle.
Indeed, now add to your thought and concern my situation, which involves not wanting to play localized/censored/dubbed/defaced/crippled games.

So, if I am to get PS+ (again), I must remember not to get it for my official, vanilla, proper regional account, as that would force me to play games in non-English gibberish without me having a say in this.

So, to be able to enjoy Dark Souls II (still a disappointingly lazy and silly name), I'd have to pay ~60 bucks in a currency into an account that isn't my proper one... but I'd get 'free' games for it in return, which would lead to me buying even less games, as the last time around, PS+ mostly gifted me games I already bought... ah, all this planning just to escape being put into some random drawer just because of my current country of residence. Quite annoying, that. But, seeing how some of my pre-bought DLC for not-so special editions of games plain refused to be downloaded on say, non-US accounts AND US accounts, one because of the non-US nature of my account, the other seemingly on my non-US location. And that's just not the sort of spy stuff I want to be bothered when ALL I WANT TO DO IS PLAY GAMES.

To be fair its less than 5 quid a month, 50 quid for a year, the money you save buying a PS4 instead of an Xbox will cover it with change.

Seems like Sony finally got their marketing department right.

And damn, it's amazingly right.

How things have been going since Sony's event started.
This is why I love you Sony, don't ever change.
What show is that? There appears to be a naked man stomping on another person's face.
