@thehbk: preach.

So I am gonna guess someone deleted my comment. I mean that really pisses me off but thanks for the backup. It is fucking disappointing you can't give an honest answer with reasoning and have someone get all scared because it is not PC.

I know people would go nuts for this but it seems like just another Japanese company being very lazy with their remakes. That whole 16:9 pan thing seems really stupid. And 30 fps? I will have to assume that is a choice because there is no way a game like this is demanding on the console. Hell I don't know why its not 1080p on the old consoles. You have static images with only character models from a console that came out in 2001. I know its cool just to get it on current consoles but thats all it is. Might as well come out on the Wii U on Virtual Console.

I wouldn't mind digital if it came in a box. Like what MS originally planned with the Xbox One. I thought it was cool to buy the game and not need the CD, like what physical games on PC do today.

I have to imagine paying a few dollars to start playing Dragon Age: Inquisition nearly a week before release is going to be awfully tempting, especially since your progress will be saved. Any takers?

Would I pay $5 a month to get access to a demo of Dragon Age: Inquisition 5 days before release? Even with progress from the demo carrying over to the full game that is a massive step too far, not a chance I'll pay EA to normalise charging for demos.

This is very narrow minded. You are not paying $5 a month for a demo to Dragon Age. You are playing the full game. That is just one perk. You get access to the back catalog they put up, discounts on purchasing games like Dragon Age for 10% off and DLC too. Please do us a favor and think and read before posting. You're welcome.

I just never see any real advantage to pre-ordering. The bonus items and such are rarely worthwhile, and there's always the possibility of bugs or server mishaps that'll make the game unplayable anyway. I've definitely become more of a "wait for a Steam Sale" kind of guy over the past couple of years.

I feel like I am seeing way more bonuses on preordering than before, not just a little piece of DLC, but like at places like Best Buy where you get $10 back for preordering and buying. Target gives you a $5 giftcard for $1 preorders. And they also sometimes have sales where if you preorder a game, you get $15 off game $40 and up. And coupled with the extra %5 off the target card, that can be a sweet deal too.

@s0mewh4td4m4ged: Given your options and reasons, I would stick with the PC. But if you were to buy a console now or later, I would go with the Xbox One solely because of being able to play with friends. That is my situation. I built a new PC a few months before the Xbox One launch and got the Xbox at launch because none of my friends want to go PC. PS4 is nice and all but exclusives and playing alone are not worth it. Maybe when it is $200 years down the line. Playing games with friends trumps exclusives that are not here yet.

I'd rather have 720p60.

Me too. The whole resolution thing is dumb. I wonder if they would ever put graphics options into games kinda like what we had on the N64 when the expansion pak was out.

You know as much as I reviled their original stance of always on DRM I would have respected Microsoft more had they the balls to actually weather the storm instead of constantly making panicked reactions.

Respect does not equal money. This is a business. I got the thing at launch but what good does it do me if the system fails because they want to stick to their guns instead of getting more systems out there. Respect that the changes have helped sales as June seems to indicate.
