Interesting article on new xbox

Weird, at least for me... PC games have always been cheaper in Sweden for example.
Brand new PC game for YEARS have been 399 SEK($57) and console games 599/699(85.5$/99.8$)
Holy cow you can get a gaming pc that cheap? Amazon suddenly is flooded with new xbox 360 that were once japan only, it's like they finally decided to bring stuff over that people wanted all this time. They're cheap too as they're older games. Sadly still now Policenauts or Snatcher.

I traded in my X box 360 and PS3, put a down payment on the PS4, and purchased a bunch of games for the Wii like Ghost Squad...

And from the article, it sounds like he was also being talked about as possibly moving to EA, which would seem a natural fit, given his temperament.

If you want to play any PS4 games online you still need a PSN account and pay for a PS plus subscription. with the Xbox 180, other than price difference I don't see that much difference in both of them. With that said, if I decide to get a console I'd go with the ps4

Not surprised given some of the boneheaded things he's said. He honestly did have the single worst quote anyone at microsoft could have uttered.

I equate it with taking command of the Titanic just befor she goes under. It's a better title, but in the bigger scheme of things.......

He actually came from EA, if I'm not mistaken. Probably where he learned his wonderful consumer-friendly sales techniques. He's a perfect fit at Zynga, sacrificing its customers like the Aztecs at the altar of the mighty dollar, but I don't foresee that company being around much longer in any event.

Zynga is a terrible company, I used to do design **** for them for Yoville and they're just really really bad. I don't see them being around another 5 years.

:lol
"(Update: After this story was published, Zynga shares have risen close to 10 percent, to $3.05. That’s still down 68 percent since its late 2011 public offering.)"
- Shouldn't they be plummeting instead?
sounds like a fun film, "The Night Shift"
Especially now that Don joins them

Kind of a biased article title if you read the article.
They didn't conspire, they did what they were made to do. They didn't do any more or less than ATT, Verizon, Comcast, Google, etc. Those courts and systems they talk about gave them 'or else' mandates and all these companies objected but are still forbidden from say what they objected, too, etc. The title makes it sounds like MS was complicit in creating the program or participated by choice and handed everything over. They didn't. Neither did anyone else.

Well, in the case of Xbox at any rate, it's on a platform where such tracking can't be disabled or beat with workarounds that exist on PC like proxies and VPNs and such. And that will continue to be the case on the next system, which has a camera that always has to be connected.
I know, I know.. "Microsoft cares about your privacy"... Even if it's "off", it still has to have power to be recognized by the system, which means it can be turned on via software. I'm wondering how long it will take someone to figure out how to access the camera remotely. And no, it's not impossible, it's just nobody cared enough to do it on current-gen Kinect, but given the amount of negative press around this system already, it's going to be just a matter of time. I hope they're prepared for the inevitable ****storm.

Not to say anything is ever impossible. But where is your proof that it is possible? They cant do it with pcs. (Without you going on dodgy websites) So I dont agree that its only because no one cares. Cos they do. Why you think they hacked it to run on desktops? You seem to KNOW enough. But I wonder if its speculation really. As the kinect was hacked within weeks.
