Where are most of you guys leaning for the next generation of consoles?
As a Playstation fan, I'm really happy with everything that has been announced for the PS4. It's very developer friendly and all of the features they've revealed so far sound great. Now we just have to wait for a price.
The details surrounding the Xbox 720 are not so encouraging. The two features that are viewed as the most negative are the fact that it won't play used games. In other words, you can't use the same disc on another system. This has yet to be confirmed, but this has been an ongoing rumor for months and it could be a dealbreaker if true.
The other ugly rumor, and one that is being confirmed by more and more "insiders" is the fact that it's going to require a 24/7 online connection in order to work. If you do not have a network connection, you cannot play games on it, period. If by chance you're playing a game and your network goes down for whatever reason, it'll interrupt the game and put you into a network troubleshooting window.
This has to be dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Are Microsoft intentionally trying to lose the next gen before it starts?
As far as pricing goes, PS3 rumors have it releasing at 400 and the 720 at 500.
We should know more after MS's conference in May and the E3 convention in June.
