    Loved the old Syphon Filter games. Definitely some good games in that list. I mostly play shooters so Killzone and Resistance have always intrigued me. I would really miss Halo and Gears of War though. No way I am buying both consoles.

    Hope this is true for both systems.

    Finally, some good news. According to a source close to Microsoft, the newly unveiled Xbox One will not require a fee to reactivate and play used games. Instead, it’ll require a regular authentication check of every game as it’s being played — hence, the required Internet connection. This hasn’t been, nor is it likely to be, confirmed by Microsoft until E3. It sounds like they’re still working it out internally. That may explain the contradicting reports about the Xbox One’s Internet requirements and whether or not it blocks used games.

    In related news, Microsoft has confirmed they are experimenting with offering codes for people in Internet-free situations, like soldiers on active duty, to let them play offline.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Doesnt make sense. What is the purpose of the regular authentication check then?

    It is because the games install to the HDD and the disc isn't required to play them after that (I think). So technically you could install the game and pass the disc on to someone else if they didn't check it.

    But if you are only playing campaign mode or no online, why would you need to be connected?

    Because each disc will have a unique identifier, presumably, and the online check will be to ensure that that ID is only active on one machine at a time.

    I have no interest in mandatory online connections. I have been fighting shitty internet connection with Time Warner for months, and havent been able to maintain a steady connection, and have had outages for days on end.

    It would be an inconvenience. Not to mention they are making a madatory camera trained on you online.

    Just rumors so far. I've heard $400-450 for PS4 and Xbox One. I've also heard that there might be a Xbox One for around $300 if you subscribe to the premier Xbox Live for a year.
    From what I've seen, I'd probably expect both to be around the $400-450 range.

    I also doubt Sony or MS will announce a price at E3. They are going to want people to get excited for their systems as long as possible...then release the numbers right before they go on sale...to make people want it more. If either comes out at E3 and says "Our new system will cost $450", despite that probably being accurate, it'll definitely deflate the "buzz" and excitement for the new system.

    I actually dont think $450 is that unreasonable, deflating, or surprising.

    Amazon's German store for a short time had the pre-order listed for the xbox at $500 euros ($770 us).

    I don't think they will charge that much but you never know.

    My guess is $600 for xbox (or $450 along w/ a 2 year contract ala the cell phone industry).

    $450 for PS4.

    WiiU goes down to $300 for the deluxe version.

    Is GTA 5 now going to be a PS4 title, or has that just been delayed for a PS3 release?

    PS3 and 360 only.

    I wonder how long it'll take before they make one for the new systems? I mean, it's taken them what, 5-6 years to develop GTA 5?

    I'd actually rather see another Red Dead Redemption type game for the new systems. Red Dead was and is an awesome, awesome game! Way better than GTA IMO.

    I have to admit, the Kinect could be a potential deal breaker. I'll plug it in if necessary, but I'm facing it towards my back wall behind my TV.

    If that causes the system to not work, I'm not getting one. I'm not letting Microsoft or anyone have a camera recording my living room 24 / 7.
