I'm in the Carolina Huddle group.  My name right now is Bad Touch.

 

There is a Carolina Huddle group? I need to join.

At least initally...this pushback is coming from the developers..but PS4 just made some changes to their policy but are backtracking a bit.

http://www.justpushstart.com/2013/11/sony-denies-change-policy-selling-used-playstation-4-games/

"Everybody knows what Sony’s stance on used games and the ability to sell them for the PlayStation 4 has been for awhile now. This stems from their announcement that you can do pretty much anything you did in past generations at E3, including them making a little promo video poking fun at Microsoft’s decision not to at the time. However, a little bit of an uproar occurred today when somebody noticed a change in Sony’s terms of service on their website.

The terms of service on the Sony website now has a section that says “”You must not resell either Disc-based Software or Software Downloads, unless expressly authorized by us and, if the publisher is another company, additionally by the publisher.” This obviously seems to differ greatly from their previous stance and an odd change to change right before the launch of the new console."

WTF!?

Again, Sony reps have already explicitly stated this week that if you buy a disc based game you are free to trade/sell it. There may be a licensing fee for MP from a third party developer in the future, but that hasn't been confirmed or denied yet.

Lucky you then. Hardware failure is a fact of life for a computer owner.

This "nut" really hopes steam box is successful, and I also hope that all video game systems perform well. Fundamentally a strong video game ecosystem (fell like such a douche using that term) only helps those who love games, which I think all of us fall into based on our participation in this thread.

Looking at the PS4 launch event last night, and the week's worth of run up, I am still waiting to see a system worth dropping my cash on.

 

and steam will strengthen that ecosystem by bringing competition to the table in ways that consoles have never seen before

 

i've only known one person that's actually had a hard drive fail, and that's the only hardware failure i've ever known anyone to have.

 

RROD on the other hand, I know at least 5 people that dealt with that poo

I've had to hard drives fail. Things break

actually i know someone that built their own rig and went cheap on the PSU.  it fried his MOBO.

 

any other issues associated with hardware failures i've dealt with or heard of were the fault of the operator

One of the machines was a laptop used to write papers, the other was an older pc.

i have a laptop with a dead hard drive i picked up for 30$

 

just need to pick up a new one and put linux on it

I got both PC and Xbox. I play sport games on Xbox and first person shooter on PC. My PC is 4 years old Dell i7 with badass hard drive and graphics. I never had any issues so far. I play PC games more than xbox games. I'd highly recommend PC for FPS. Way better experience than Xbox or ps4.

pc gaming just isn't anywhere near as awesome without Steam

 

i remember getting laughed at a few years ago when i told people Steam would save PC gaming.   now they're bringing it to the mainstream.

 

will it put ps4 or xbox1 out of business?   or nintendo?   i have no idea.

 

but it brings more to the table for someone that wants more than being shoved inside a pen with a bunch of hormonal 13 year olds, and have their actions limited and dictated by a board of directors while paying for piss poor support

 

tired of paying to be treated like a child by Microsoft?

 

come on over to Steam where we have groups, chat rooms, profiles, VOIP, dedicated servers, mods, (steam is tied in to facebook and twitter so i see no reason why steam OS wouldn't support those as well) and better multiplayer support than you can imagine

 

there's nothing consoles offer anymore that pc gaming didn't do first and better

So your saying you like Steam?

You should start a thread with more details... As a casual gamer I never heard of it.

[g5jamz]

Where are you located?

 

joking...I'll be keeping it.  Just have to figure out how to "present" it to wife that it was purchased.  :)
