Well sony and microsoft have gone mad... I'm sure most of you know this but for all those who don't both these companies have announced that they're gonna make new consoles ( Playstation orbit and the XBox... Whatevertheycallit) and they SAY both won't have backwards compatibility (they said they wont even attempt to do it), both will only have digital data stuff, so no discs (won't be able to lend games to your friends), and APPARENTLY the PS orbit won't work unless you have internet connection... so that sucks... if you say ''oh that's crap; I won't buy that'' then how will you play the newer games? Grrr god damn. I guess I'll have to get the WiiU...
Ps. I'm sorta thinking if the game stores will vanish because of this. Will console sales and old games and nintendo games sales be enough to keep the thing afloat? Or will they just raise the prices through the roof?... discuss ;D
Pps. PSO should be coming out around christmas

Rumours of not being able to play used games were true! But that was where you had to pay extra on a used game to unlock all its content but now its just even more stupid. Im just gonna point out one thing. COMPLETE LAZINESS IS LAZY! Also I will now refuse to buy these consoles (I most likely prob end up being given them anyway. WiiU I may buy since Nintendo are the only one not screwing gamers like the other two are). And how will I play newer games? *pats his PC* I has this! ... PC games count! Anyway. In England all the gamestations (owned by game) will be closed according to the new owners of game meaning there be less shops in the UK. Not only that. But with used games no longer being on sale shops like CEX will soon be gone (basically a shop that sells used games from most consoles and pc and even dvd & blu-ray). Also coming out christmas?... They said it be another few years before they release a new console after the PS3 because that has barely even entered halfway through its lifespan of making good quality games (as said by the makers of Fahrenheit & Heavy Rain). Also just to be sure the PS Orbis Orbit whatever is the PS4 right? This all said. Anyone know of the games crash in America somepoint in the 80s? Im predicting its going to happen again. On that note this was not Balious. Your all dreaming a dream and are all totally confused. Have fun ^_^

And this is why you just stick to PC, cause all Console's and related material is fucking dumb. All they are doing is trying to capitalize. It's just the way industry's are these days. The gaming industry is going to fucking complete shit. First Music, now gaming. And people wonder why I refuse to BUY games these days without downloading them first and trying them.

I've done a quick search and it would appear that these rumours are somewhat legit, BUT rumours are still rumours so put the pitchforks and flaming torches down for a second. There were some completely unsubstantiated rumours about the ps3 from "reliable sources" before it came out. It's entirely possible there won't be backwards compatibility and that games will be in digital format, but I can think of two good reasons why they would be idiots for doing so.
First of all, Sony and Microsoft have both seen how riled up fanboys and girls get in the whole 'console war' thing this generation, so excluding such a wanted feature as backwards compatibility would make no sense, they would just be providing one more reason to buy the other console. Yes, they could release PS1/2/3 games on the store to download digitally and make some profit from new consumers that way, but is it worth them loosing out on a big chunk of their existing fanbase?
Secondly, one of the USPs of the playstation 3 was that it was able to play both bluray games and films. In my opinion it's likely that the new xbox will make use of bluray technology as it is a contributing factor to "stealing" customers that are aligned to a specific company for films or for games; it's two in one, why buy two separate machines? The next gen playstation will likely follow suit, despite Sony producing bluray players as well, downloading games to your HDD will likely be optional. (all of this is IMO)
P.S. if both companies produce substandard machines I know myself and hundreds of thousands of others will get a decent machine and play PC instead!

It'd be about time, doesn't change the fact that consoles are overpriced hunks of crap.

Anyway. In England all the gamestations (owned by game) will be closed according to the new owners of game meaning there be less shops in the UK. Not all, and not all games are going to be closed. See like my game in my local town was closed, but my gamestation wasn't, because of the fact my gamestation is more profitable than my game, which had 0 people in whenever I went in. so, before you post stuff based on what you believe is fact make sure you know the actual truth. and, the fact you're saying "oh lets change to pcs,", I like consoles for that reason, you dont have to have the high tech super stuff to make games run on consoles, i mean sure the psorbit or whatever will probably be disliked by everyone with bad internet, and people who like consoles for that reason. It doesnt mean people will suddenly stop using ps3s/xboxs, because of the fact theres still fans that love that console, I mean I know someone that still plays n64s, even if they stop selling them, it doesnt mean their isnt people that will play it still. -endrant-

Let me iterate what I mean. PS1 and Xbox 1 and below all the way to the Commodore is fine, anything above that is garbage.

(as for a fact mine had a shop to let/buy whatever above it but have now stated they will remain open). So I do read up on these things unlike the april fools joke that 3DS will be cancelled that many people thought were true. Also I never said lets change to PCs direct that at Jamie or at least put his name there so it doesn't look like your talking to me I dont mind people playing on consoles and hell I do it myself. I still own the megadrive. And I disagree with jamie on calling the later consoles trash xD especially the ps2 and gamecube they had brilliant games that I love. Also everyone keeps overrating about high tech super stuff for PC. Its not even that complicated really. I mean people think im a computer expert but honestly I dont really know that much just the basics xD. Hell even buying an already built PC while may be expensive can still run most games quite well (depending on the actual pc of course). And final fact: CONSOLES ARE PCS! ^_^ Just all built not able to upgrade properly or so.
