| my NES still works :D Yeah, that's right. My NES, SNES, 360 and other consoles still work just fine without needing access to any "mothership."
I much prefer having a game in hand, and would not wish to lose this capability. Especially a single player game, or a two player game.
Besides, what if I didn't have internet access? Requiring 'net access would be a disaster. I'd rather be able to play a game without this requirement, thanks.
Imagine having kids and the internet connection dies, or you can't pay the bill, or whatever the case... that shouldn't mean games just stop working. Not a good idea.
I can see where "PCoIP" has its place (»blogs.vmware.com/view-point/2009···ops.html) or online flash type games, or what have you. Killing the console altogether is just sick and twisted though. Totally wrong on so many levels...
I hereby nominate the idea of killing the console for "worst idea since Greedo shooting first." | |

Imagine having kids and the internet connection dies, or you can't pay the bill, or whatever the case... that shouldn't mean games just stop working. Not a good idea. Well check this out. OK so my son wants a Gears of War 2 map pack. Ok it's like $20 but I get it for him. Now the thing is even if you don't plan play it online you still need to be hooked up to the intenet to play any of the maps on the map pack. So if the internet goes out or if he takes his 360 to a friends house that doesn't have internet then you can't access content that that I paid $20 for. Something is really fucked up about that. | |
