    Well, it was assumed news based off of what some Sony exec said. Microsoft confirmed it.

    If Sony and Microsoft were smart, they would charge $60 for a retail game and $50 for a digital download.

    I'm sure they would profit more on the $50 download and sell more games in the process. And it gives the consumer an option to choose from. It's win / win.

    Especially now that physical discs with the XB1 are apparently near meaningless :P

    The most recent scenario that has been brought to my attention:

    What happens when XBox Two or whatever comes out and they need to close off the servers for XBox One? Do all the units become bricks because they cant check in? Was there ever anything said/any assurances?

    quoted from article about XB1.
    No more always online requirement
    The console no longer has to check in every 24 hours
    All game discs will work on Xbox One as they do on Xbox 360
    An Internet connection is only required when initially setting up the console
    All downloaded games will function the same when online or offline
    No additional restrictions on trading games or loaning discs
    Region locks have been dropped

    Wow. Talk about an about-face.

    Get rid of the Kinect requirement and I might reconsider jumping ship. Oh, and drop the price a $100 too. :P

    So what's the verdict on Last of Us? Is it kinda like Uncharted?
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)
