Not sure why they insist on this whole cloud service thing when it still isn't fully universal. I mean common already, cloud is just a new name for something that has existed for a long, long time. What makes it new and improved is the automated updating across platforms, which is nice if the dropbox / cloud / network storage (whatever you call it) is supported. But we know that this is not the case and end up having to using work around or external apps in conjunction to fully achieve our goals. WHY? Why has someone not just made a system that holds all my pictures, music, movies, games and game saves across all platforms. I understand that even if this did happen my CoD Xbox save wouldn't carry over to the Playstation or anything like that. I know that this is just a dream world I am living in, but it is a world I would love to live in!

I just want to see the film already, wish they would just take what they have for the film festivals and upload it to iTunes so I could just buy it.

Still not sold on this thing, I loved Nintendo for years and they have had a few hits with the Wii. Not enough to make me want a WiiU, I mean even the name is bad. We have seen this before, *cough* SEGA *cough*, creating systems that set landmarks, but were sadly, quickly over cast by the competitors. Making the exact same missteps that SEGA did back in the 90's, sadly but I think the WIIU marks the end of Nintendo as we know it.

Definitely don't see this happening, sure it would hurt companies like GameStop and Play and make publishers and developers super happy. But the real truth is Microsoft would only be hurting themselves, they may not be the smartest company in the world, but they are definitely not the dumbest. Eliminating the ability to play used game, eliminates a full market of gamer's. How so, you ask? Simple, there are lots of people who only buy used games (for many reasons), those same people buy there systems and peripherals new. They're also the same people who buy Microsoft Points (though there days may be limited) and faithfully subscribe to Xbox LIVE month after month.
