Pachter sucks, but I wouldn't be completely shocked at those prices. I'm thinking upwards of about $100 for each though. It would be a nice surprise, because I've already saved up about $450 which would mean I might be able to get both at launch if I can keep saving up.

I'm noting this latest prediction for my Pachter Tracker™.

Here's his most recent fail:



Yet the XBox One is setting pre-order records...

There are at least a dozen posters on OS that are more knowledgeable and trustworthy than Pachter, IMO.

exactly. IGN always goes to him for his opinion and not once in the last couple years i been paying attention has he been right about anything. at first i thought he was an insider who knew things. guy doesnt know anything. he just throws a bunch of **** on the wall and hopes something sticks.

Kotaku prodded Sony about used games, they deferred to the reveal and said they aren't sharing more information at this time.

Sony Won't Answer These Questions About PS4 DRM and Used Games... Yet

Which is what Microsoft should've done since they didn't have their answers together.

True...but when MS defers people yell and scream and assume the worst.

When Sony defers people don't care. It's like Gran Turismo...if MS had a game that didn't release for that many years they'd be a laughing stock, but for Sony we just laugh and it's fine for a game to take forever.

Yea but the Sony answer seems like the correct route with E3 just right around corner.

[EnigmaNemesis]

The thing is Sony did not open their mouth without any "answers". They are saving it for E3. They are actually being smart so far.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

They are opening their mouths actually, but they're likely playing semantics or just being intentionally vague deferring to later:

Yeah as Abe Lincoln once said, and as a true introvert I've always lived by the mantra... "It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."

No matter how hard you want to believe, there really isn't any agenda.

I wasn't sure where to post this. It's an article about Microsoft E3, but from a PS-centric website. It does make some good points though. Anyway...

Daily Reaction: So, Microsoft Is “Going to Kill Sony at E3”

Craig Davidson, the director of global marketing at Microsoft said to IGN Spain that the “Xbox One will surprise the world during E3… We are going to kill Sony at E3″. With that, the Daily Reaction crew of Seb and Dan discuss what MS could do to dominate E3 2013, and whether it is possible.

Was this before or after Sony got ripped to shreds for every thing they did or didn't do for an entire console generation?

Such short memories people have.

It's really stupid to predict much before E3, but what the hell: if Sony handles the used game market in a better/more friendly way for consumers than MS appears to be doing, that could be the big game changed in the early console wars this go around. Sony has a real chance here to get out front. Everyone has let them know they want something different/better than what MS is proposing.

I think the best compromise is to allow for the online check to be bypassed if that games disc is in the drive. Outside of that I'm not sure how you best access to all games you own at any time instantly.

If Sony's answer is to pass the buck to the publishers for this DRM in a effort to look like the good guy I'm not sure people are going to be happy with that result.

I don't think there's anything Sony could do to make you happy.
