    Wind forward to 32:50 to get past all the pre-amble, it's a long video though! Best parts are no restrictions on used games, no requirement to connect every so often, it's £349 :) and PS Plus.

    Some of the games look amazing, really glad that I put a pre-order in previously!

    Not touching the XBone if they're going to implement the over-constrictive practices that they've talked about doing.

    MS have lost the plot, big-time. Big Brother gone mad.

    Why Matt ? I have my pre order in for the PS4 as it looks like the better deal for a gamer, not really interested in the entertainment side, also I was someone who went through 3 xbox's on their release and trust them less on release than I do Sony

    I will pick a One up when they are out. And we have months until they are out. MS may/will change their minds. So for the moment I will be getting a one. but won't decide until they are almost out

    I have both the 360 and PS3 and both bought a few days before they came out ;) . I prefer how you can play online with mates on the 360 and really don't like the way the PS3 does it. So my PS3 ended up a blu ray player while I enjoyed games you cannot get on the PS3. I bought GT5 for the PS3 as this was the only game I wanted that I could not play on the 360. The last stand is another game out tomorrow I may get thats only on the PS3. But I will wait to see what others feel about this before I get it.

    I bought the PS3 for GT5 and after what 3 plus years of waiting was not impressed and it was played then I went back to Forza

    So i'm just used to/ a fan of the 360.

    fair comment, agreed on lack of specific titles, like Halo, gears of war etc on the PS, I prefered the Xbox but got sick of it breaking, the PS3 has been reliable in comparison, so I guess like my Honda, when I go to it I know it will work ;)

    Yeah, presumably they went for that design to try and address the RRODing:

    Ahhh RROD....I've had it three times with only two Xboxes.

    Is this some kind of record...

    ...I feel I should be entitled to some kind of recognition...

    King RRODer?

    Touch wood, I've never had it with 2 360's, but now I've said that...

    (btw, on the subject of 360's the demo of MotoGP '13 is available for download for free from Marketplace. Looked quite good from the trailer vids)

    Glad to see they actually listened for once. Mind you it would have been product suicide for them not to do so. Cynic in me wonders if the policy will be reintroduced after a couple of years, but there again I'm sure Sony could easily introduce a similar policy.

    Just goes to show how shady they are, how much they value the bottom line above anything else. "Listened to our community" bull$hit - listened to our bank manager more like.

    They won't be happy until they dominate the living room and can DRM everything. They'll introduce it again, of that I am sure.
