Correct, Sony is changing nothing. They are leaving the option for game publishers to make changes though, and many will.

and it'll probably be completely accepted on consoles within the next 5 years. 100% of PS4 games may not do it this year, at launch, but you better believe they all will by the time the end of this new generation comes around. Hell, by that point I hope we aren't even dealing with physical...

Haha I tried out one of those 3D0 cards back in the day. We sold them at my store, so I took one home for a week to try it out so we could be more informed about selling them to customers. My god, what a nightmare that was. Of course this was back in the day of Windows 95, so driver conflicts...

I wholeheartedly agree that not all publishers will use crazy DRM on the PS4. But do you really believe a company like EA won't? They do anything and everything they can to screw every last penny out of consumers. I think you'll see it on most western-developed AAA titles from the likes of EA...

Sure Sony doesn't require an internet connection, but game publishers could make it required to play their game. There are plenty of games in this current generation that require an internet connection to play, while technically the system as a whole never mentions that an internet connection...

Can we all just agree that neither Sony nor Microsoft are the true bad guys? It's companies like EA that are the ones that are doing the most to screw gamers from having access to cheaper games. You better believe that both Sony and Microsoft would love to see every single game sold as cheaply...

And all the while the publisher will claim that it's just anti-piracy measures(and who can argue against that), while conveniently having the side-effect of also killing off the game from being able to be re-sold as used. Win/Win for the developer/publisher.

Have you played a PC game in recent years? Many of them now will install like 99% from the disk, then you have to connect to their online server(and verify serial number) to finish the game install and download the last small portion of the game. This could very easily be done on a PS4 or any...

So basically looks like I'll be sticking to primarily PC gaming, and then *maybe* getting a PS4 a few years into the cycle once there are double-digit console exclusives that are worth playing. Definitely won't even think about plunking down $400 + $120 in game costs for a couple exclusives at...

This is significant. If you think the mega-publishers like EA won't have the exact same DRM restrictions(unique serial number that requires online verification at install, or something similar) on games that release for both platforms, you're crazy. So basically the XBOX One is going to...

Damn you. I was perfectly happy with my Nexus 7. This is very, very tempting...

McDonalds is still dirt-ass cheap, that's how they mainly get by. Sure, their combos aren't much cheaper than any place else, but where else can you get a double cheeseburger(McDouble), a chicken sandwhich(McChicken) and a large drink for 3 bucks? Thats a hell of a filling meal right there...

The fastest I've ever seen a professional athlete come back from an ACL tear is like 8-9 months, and they have access to not only the absolute top, elite surgeons, but 24/7 personal rehab trainers and the bleeding edge of drug technology for recovery enhancement. Your average person(you) is...

Time to invest in one of these:

Anymore, most high-end phones don't need a screen protector. The glass used in them is VERY scratch resistant. I wouldn't even think about using a screen protector unless I had a small child who regularly used it. I've had a S4 now for a few months with no screen protector, I constantly throw...

Oh just give it time. It may not hit you until tomorrow, but it will. Prepare to destroy a toilet sometime within the next 24 hours

I still like the old-school stuff at Taco Bell. Double-decker tacos, bean burritos, etc. The doritos tacos aren't bad, but there's no chance I'd eat a Cool Ranch one, that's the worst dorito flavor ever, I can't imagine how bad a cool ranch taco would be. If you like their lava sauce(I dont)...

Maybe they figure a large % of people never bring their vehicles back in for a recall fix? I don't have a clue what recall fallow-through looks like on something like that. Especially since most of the vehicles effected are in the 5-10 year old range, a lot might not be original owners or...

I guess it technically isnt a reliability issue, more of just a general quality issue. Also not good is the fact that the government wants them to recall 3 million vehicles and they are refusing to do it. Speaks to the quality of the manufacturing and the company behind it as a whole.

Yes, Jeeps are still dogshit for reliability. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013...r-jeep-recall/ I really have no car biases or loyalties other than staying away from all Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep products. They have a pretty bad history of reliability issues, and I'm not 100% sure that...

I eat a shitload of fast food, and oddly enough the only food poisoning I've ever had was from Cheesecake Factory. I probably eat fast food a couple times a week for the past 20 years. Maybe I've just been lucky so far.

This also applies to pretty much all women(and my wife). She always mentions that she doesn't think the rear speakers are working because she can't hear anything, usually while we're watching the news or a sitcom or something.

Yeah, Missouri went through its supplier refinery shut downs about a month ago, gas got up near $4 a gallon for a couple weeks, now it's back down a little closer to normal. We've been hovering around $3-3.50 for the better part of a few years. Hell, within the last 12 months I even bought gas...

Honestly, that's one of my reasons for only considering SUVs or trucks. Here in the wide-open midwest, EVERYONE drives a bigass pickup or bigass SUV. You almost never see little smart cars, or priuses or fiats or minis, those types of cars. If you got into a high-speed accident, you're about...

We test drove a Murano and a CX-9, and I really liked the Murano. Out of all the vehicles we test drove (Murano, Rogue, CX9, CX5, Escape, Edge, Santa Fe, and others) we probably liked the Murano the best out of all of them. It just felt the nicest to drive, most comfortable, and great...

Decided to pull the trigger on the Hyundai Sante Fe. Just couldn't resist it's price for the features you get. Solid MPG for a mid-sized SUV (22/29). Will be a good "mom" car for my wife. Plenty of room in the back for a car seat, and tons of storage space for strollers and crap. Definitely...

There is very little actual use for a $2000 Louis Vuitton purse, at that point you are paying for a purely decorative item. Same for a Rolex watch. There are equivalent items that serve the base purpose of those items that are 99% cheaper. Once you get to the point that you are spending...

Look, we all know diamonds are a waste of money, but so is damn near everything we buy. Do you need a 50-inch LED TV to survive? Do you need the computer/phone/tablet you are viewing this site on as a item essential for survival? Is a $5 jumbo cafe mocha from Starbucks part of your essential...

Why would anyone buy a Mercedez Benz over a Ford Taurus? The 3-5x as expensive Mercedes offers no extra practical functionality over the Taurus. Some people like fancy jewelry, some like fancy cars, some like paying a high dollar hooker to piss on them. None of it makes rational financial...

It's definitely possible that Sprints networks are a little better here in KC than anywhere else, since this is their world HQ. At least they should be...

Like mentioned above, Sprint depends a lot on where you live. They don't have 4G LTE rolled out nearly as extensively as the other carriers yet, but they do have 4G WiMAX coverage all over the place for their previous-gen phones. with my Galaxy S2(WiMAX) I had 4G coverage in most every major...

I do agree with this basic sentiment. I'm in the insurance business and I've also purchased diamond jewelery for my wife, so I see both sides of it. Appraisals are pretty stupid overall, nobody ever, EVER pays anywhere near appraisal price for a piece of jewelry. Even at an over-inflated mall...

That's another reason to use a private(non-chain) jeweler for appraisals. They generally have someone on-site that can do it, the ring never has to leave your sight. A lot of mall chain stores don't have anyone with that expertise in-house all the time and might offer to send them off...

Find out what the highest-end jewelery store is in your town and go there. Somewhere that deals in Rolex watches and up, and 100K+ jewelry. Don't take that into a mall jewelry store, they won't have a clue what to do with it, stay away from chains. If you're in Dallas, find out where Cowboys...

No offense, but that sounds like a really bad deal, unless the diamond was absolutely flawless, or the band was super expensive with a ton of diamonds in it. I was able to get a diamond that is roughly twice that size (1.35 carot) that was flawless to the naked eye (VS1 clarity, F color) for...

A lot of games anymore will support all sorts of multi-monitor resolutions just natively, but some games do still need certain video card driver options enabled to do it. Nvidia for example requires 3 monitors to enable their surround technology through their driver suite, it won't give you the...

Never trust anyone at work. Supervisors, subordinates, people on equal ground, or even anyone that you consider a friend. At my previous job that I was at for 8 years, my immediate supervisor became one of my best friends. Hanging out all the time away from work, large group of mutual...

As long as you aren't talking about a drastic salary difference(losing half your salary or something), go with the situation that makes you the happiest. Theres nothing worse than waking up every day and dreading going into work. Not many people flat-out love going to work, that's why they...

As far as options and overall feel, both the Pathfinder and CX-9 were real similar. Both had nice perks like keyless start, all the electronic perks like bluetooth, voice commands, etc. If looks are important though, the CX-9 definitely looks more wagon-ish, while the Pathfinder looks more...
