Fixed that for you
Makes no sense for either of them to cause "controversy" before E3
Yeah, because they ceratinly didn't do that a week back.

But at that time the rumors were a 3 minute connection check. They probably thought once every 24hours was good enough.
I doubt we're going to get any game changing answers from him. We're going to have to wait till E3. Microsoft have been very good at avoiding answering any real questions so far.
No answers today.
So MS PR is still scrambling round trying to find a way to spin them into something that sounds reasonable, then. If they knew their plan was acceptable, it wouldn't be taking this long. I mean "Does your system allow used games and if so, are there associated fees?" is not a difficult question to answer.

Actually I think SONY can't introduce any DRM/Used game policy now.

LMFAO!
Rounding up answers?
As in trying to gather some kind of tangible response from all the evasive, embiguous and outright contradictory statements M$ keeps making?
Good luck with that!
Yeah they are listening, too bad they ain't actually hearing anything.
Is it disturbing anyone else that the more vocal members for microsoft in this thread are tending to be juniors?
I'm sure you believe the Sony side right? With them saying they're listening.
Sony PR hasn't been running it's mouth with conflicting info.Same can be said about Sony.

They've said it'd be up to publishers while also saying the equivalent of "no comment". Not as bad as MS but still somewhat conflicting.Sony PR hasn't been running it's mouth with conflicting info.
I'm getting a feeling that some kind of wish that MS keeps a strict DRM policy...

Honestly, what can they do?
If the system does require every game to be installed on the HDD in order to do that fast switching between The Price is Right and your game; not using some kind of CD-Key authentication will lead to rampant cases of people just lending a game to someone else or buying and then returning the disc while keeping it on their HDD.
They could make it so that you must install the game, but it requires the disc to boot (like PC games did before Steam).
Vague and conflicting aren't the same thing. The key here is that they kept their vague stance instead of giving incomplete and/or wrong info.They've said it'd be up to publishers while also saying the equivalent of "no comment". Not as bad as MS but still somewhat conflicting.

I tweeted Xbox support with a video I did last week, which is more or less the same points people have been making on GAF, and they claimed they would watch it.
I have my doubts

So if all publishers that made PS4 games have to connect to online at least once per play, that would be pretty much the same thing right?

Yoshida - "So, used games can play on PS4. How is that?"
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...ock-used-games
Yoshida - "More distressingly, when asked about online registration for used games, Yoshida said that the decision was up to individual publishers, and that Sony is "not talking about that plan" for its own first-party games."

Gara - "Well, first of all, we haven't stated that second-hand games... we haven’t made a statement on the second-hand games question," Gara said. "The answer to the pre-owned question isn’t clarified just yet and we’re working through that and we’ll announce our position in more detail as and when we can."

Sort of.
XBO is getting beat up right now for two separate DRM related reasons:
-Internet required because of 24 hour checks.
-Inability to trade, share, or privately sell your games because of profile locks and full price "fees" (if we listen to what Harrison and Booty say)
The first issue is bad because not everyone has access to good or stable internet but I think the second issue is what has most people really riled up because its just a way to gouge more money out of us.
If Sony requires internet (and if we trust what they say, they already said that it wont) then thats definitely a knock against them.
Yeah, all they want is world peace.
Also, you didn't buy the N-GAGE? You monster.
But Sony is there for us, gamers at heart.
"Rounding up answers" made me think of this Mark Twain quote: "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."
I would have been Sidetalkin' had it gotten cheap enough, but being a cell phone prevented that from happening. In Box QD's still go for 100+ on ebay. No thanks.
I do have a copy of Super Monkey Ball N-Gage I got for 5 bucks right after the system tanked. The console just never got cheap enough
E3 is the deadline for me. If I don't have straight answers by the time E3 is over, whether from their conference, media interviews, official statements from Major Nelson, whatever, I'm done.
Major Nelson confirms it's a 90 minute conference.
Also had this to say in regards to Xbox One TV talk at E3.

Done with both Sony and MS? I mean, we need answers from them both.
