surely if it doesnt play copied games and theres no second hand market like pc, the games should retail at what pc games retail at (insert smileys)

With games (and a lot of stuff) I don't realise why they aren't cheaper.
Surely selling cheaper but more makes as much sense as expensive but fewer?

They can learn a lot from the Steam pricing model on "older" games. If you can pickup an 18month old game for £3.50 via a download, nobody will GAF about lending off a mate.
New games should be cheaper regardless, I'm sure I saw a sign for £55 last time a COD game was released - insane.

360 was £289 for the 'premium' model at launch, £429 is a bit of a joke!
PS3 was £425.

PS3 had a brand spanking new technology in it to justify the price, and iirc they still made a loss on them for years.

I liked the look of some of those games though. Titanfall looked cracking

I will probably give up gaming, from reading all the shit i've been reading i just can't be bothered to feel annoyed about something and constantly feeling like i'm paying for some blokes superyacht each time i buy a game.

Unlikely MS will have any problems considering they undercut the PS3 a fair wack and both consoles (360, PS3) have near enough sold the same number of units.
Plus once you stick a PS4 Eye onto the cost of the PS4 (it terms of evening it up a little), i doubt you'll get much change from the £80 difference.

Most games on the PS3 barely push the hardware but that's because Sony made development a complete PITA!

Think Steve meant PS4, as per his next post.
As Russ says, the point is that Sony lets you choose not to buy the camera. On the Box you can't even unplug it.

True and i believe MS should have offered that option. As said, if you compare like for like then i doubt there would be much in it between the consoles price-wise.
And it's been mentioned before, the spec is near enough similar between the consoles and the only real difference is RAM but it isn't as clear cut as 'the PS4 has DDR5 therefore it's better than the X1'.

Without getting Steve foaming at the mouth, does anyone else think the One is a backwards step in design?
