  • Here in the UK we have 'Lovefilm' - 9.99 a month and you can play any game as long as you want, and have 2 at a time.

    • They have never once failed to get a brand new game to me on release day - God bless the UK Royal Mail.
    • Literally only spent money on XBLA games for the past two years. In 2012 I played 48 retail games, many brand new that day.
    • If the next-gen consoles lock out used games, I am well and truly fucked.

I really had a hard time listening to the guys bashing Max Payne 3. That game is stellar.

Fuck. Yes.

The GB dismissive reaction to the GTA V trailer 2. How they picked apart every joke saying it was dumb.

I was like, c'mon guys lighten the fuck up.

@Bourbon_Warrior: Yes, the first thing I do when I sit down with a new game is install the thing. Not only for longevity, but also load time improvements.

Everyone who isn't doing it should be.

Man I'm not sure.

I've got the Xbox 360 Elite 120GB model - With the 2009 Jasper motherboard. I'm already setting money aside for the next Xbox in November and really don't want to break into that for nothun'.

Any older consoles out there that are still chugging along?

Thanks for all your reply's dudes - It's been a real group therapy session.

Yet, despite most are you saying, I just can't bring myself to do it. I should explain: As I've got older, I really started to obsess over the concept of deferred gratification. For example; I'm the kind of guy that will follow all the literature and watch press conferences about the latest smart phones, yet have this insane personal rule to upgrade only every 5 years, so it'll 'blow me away'.

We could go deep down the rabbit hole here of never truly being able to re-capture those same emotions we had playing games as kids, or that sense of 'oh shit I can just doing anything?' feeling the first time you played GTA3 or such like. Call me sentimental, but after watching Indie Game: The Movie, I've found myself more than ever viewing video games that receive a shit ton of time, work and love really are something precious. Like, even beyond my surface-level enjoyment of the thing.

I totally get the 'Sleeping Dogs is meaningfully different' argument. But I guess I just can't risk it. I just can't face the prospect of to any degree degrading that elusive feeling of 'holy fuck, I'm going to be looking back on this nostalgically' a game like GTA can provide.

EDIT: But will play it this year, after GTAV.
