Mr. GOH!

It increases the value for the average purchasers by a nominal amount, especially if the game in question is part of a flexible first-party pricing ecosystem, as more and more gaming ecosystems are becoming. It's more of a hassle and risk to buy a used game than to buy a discounted original copy (usually digital nowadays) after a while. Edit: But of course Nintendo hates flexible pricing, because Nintendo thinks it's Apple.

$10 after a rebate on Amazon.

No work/life balance means folks with kids (who are usually older and have more valuable work experience) need not apply.

PCIe 3.0? Forgot about that. Hmm. Looks like I'll need a new PSU and a new mobo if I want to meaningfully upgrade my GPU. Hope my GTX 570 will handle new games for the next year or so.

I like my ASUS GTX 570. Heard good things about EVGA, too (and not just here).

I'm also in. Gotta spread the cheer of PC gaming.

Get an Xbox one if you want weird TV integration and Dead Rising 3, though.

Yet I managed to buy a copy of God of War 3 for PS3 that was scratched beyond playability.

PC Lego marvels has co-op, but I think someone has to play using the keyboard and mouse. I have accidentally activated the co-op many times when switching to the steam menus because you can just hit a key on the keyboard to drop in.

John Boehner, Speaker of the House, is not a lawyer. And a lot of these guys are not really lawyers, just assholes with JDs and MBAs.

Then again, I'm a dangerous radical who thinks state-based Senate seats should be scrapped and replaced by an upper house voted on by every citizen.

I'm a fan of the rule change for appointments. Hell, I'd be a fan of the rule change for legislation, too. Requiring a supermajority of fucking senators is as undemocratic as it gets. Full disclosure: one of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals nominees at issue was my professor in law school and she was phenomenal and will make a top-notch appellate judge.

My GTX 570 outputs sound with aplomb. I think it's standard on most nVidia cards these days. Edit: Definitely stereo-only. That's fine, since my soundbar is 2-channel as well. If I want 7.1, I'll use my headset. The fact that headsets can do 7.1 Dolby surround-sound is fucking amazing.

The GTX 570 is a great card, but I feel like they're very rare nowadays.

AC4 is gorgeous on PC. Currently running it at 1080p with the highest settings on everything except Anti-aliasing (using MSAA x2) and SSAO (usingsecond-best, HBSAO x2 or something).

Vimeo or GTFO.

So you fill up your HDD after a few dozen play sessions?

Assassin's creed 4 for Steam on PC. The best version. No pic because work internet is being all funky today.

I suppose it also depends on how much of a hassle it will be to uninstall and reinstall game data. Is it easy to retain saves when uninstalling game data on the PS4?

PC games will get bigger as next-gen games become standard with their much, much bigger textures and their significantly larger environments. 30GB-50GB installs will become more common. PC-only games have been trending this way for a while. Rome II's 35GB install, for example. I think that's around what a typical next-gen game isntall size will be at launch. Maybe 500GB will feel like a last-gen 50GB drive. This also depends on whether we're talking about full installations versus partial installations. Not sure if the PS4 and Xbone make the distinction. 920GB is one order of magnitude bigger than the 20GB drive, halfway to two orders of magnitude bigger. If you're talking mere powers of ten, it's almost two orders of magnitude bigger.

When the DS4 is done charging does it switch over to the low-power mode that sucks, IIRC, like 5 watts or whatever?

Oh, they'll totally do a revision with cheaper parts to lower the price. How they'll market it is all that remains to be seen. I think the installation requirements are close to identical. I imagine that, within a year or two, the 500GB HDD will start to feel like the old 20GB 360 HDD in terms of how many games can be installed simultaneously.

Two 1TB SSDs cost more than my entire rig. I long for the day when SSDs are as cheap as HDDs.

Just saying that some folks buy revision consoles even though their earlier ones work perfectly well. And they complain about the cost of upgrading GPUs in PCs. I waited until they got everything ironed out to buy a PS3 slim, because buying launch console versions is for suckers. My 360 isn't a slim or whatever; it's whatever was on the market as the new arcade version in 2008. Edit: PS4 revision speculation: cheaper case and disc tray and cheaper/more efficient components inside. Faster Blu-ray, if that's a thing. Better wifi. Heard the PS4 can get pretty hot (I know the PS3 does!), so maybe changes to the way it cools. Bigger HDDs. More USB ports, maybe? Fluff to entice the kind of suckers who buy original launch consoles and who buy overpriced warranties. Integrated Skylanders portal or whatever because the kids love their Skylanders. The ability to throughput TV because everyone really wants to watch cable TV while gaming.
