E3 and this thread is on Page 2?!
So how about them apples? Microsoft made a huge mistake going first, I think.
As a non-pirate who doesn't deal in used games who is always online, I didn't have a problem with what they were planning with XBO, but Sony laid it down.
As for the price difference, remember that the Sony version of Kinect is sold separately at about $70 and Sony owns Blu-ray, so they probably give themselves a discount.
There has been so much news regarding video games as of late, I think a lot of us have been discussing it more in the real world leaving less desire to talk about it here. I know that is the case for me, usually I don't talk gaming much at all in real life, but lately it seems the topic of the next gen and current developments have been coming up a lot in conversation lately.
I've been a pretty big Xbox "fanboy" the last few years, because the 360 is a truly great system, I find my PS3 being used for very little more than playing BD movies and streaming TV shows and music from my computer. I have very little desire to play games on it, gaming just feels a lot better on my 360. At times it has been tempting to switch over to my PS3 for online multiplayer games to save money on my XB Live, but I still find myself grabbing the 360 versions. However, the PS4 is shaping up to look pretty solid. I have a feeling that if I buy another console in the next few years, it'll be a PS4. For now, I feel like my current systems have a lot of life left in them, there are still a lot of great games out there I have yet to touch, and there will still be new titles on the way for a little while yet.

Anybody play State of Decay yet? It looks pretty amazing. Thinking about buying it, it is only $20. Trying to figure out if I can justify an extra twenty bucks on video games this month, since I am going to be blowing $60 on The Last of Us next week.
So, less than an hour after posting this I broke down and bought it. Only had a chance to play a little here and there before today. Whoa, this is one of the best games I've played in a long time. It is almost hard to believe it is a $20 Xbox arcade game and not a full sixty dollar title.
I think I am even going to hold off on The Last of Us for a few weeks, since I am enjoying this one so much. It is probably hands down the best zombie game I've ever played. It has so many little features that I have always lamented zombie games of the past not having. I also love and hate that there are real consequences in the game, taking your favorite character out on a supply run and nearly losing them forever makes you really think hard about what you are doing. Every time you die and lose someone, it feels like a real loss.
