I think you guys are making way too many conclusions on details that are just pieced together from bits and pieces of info.

Bits and pieces of info from the maker of the console itself, this is not idle speculation easily dismissed like the pre-reveal rumors. I disagree entirely that people are making something out of nothing, it's quite the opposite and you are giving them too much leeway in consideration here. Now is the time to voice opposition and condemn this sort of idiocy unless you want to see it on display on the shelves without any changes made.

Yeah, this is called PR. When people are upset you quiet down and ride it out. The only way these things change is if enough people are pissed off about it.

I bet you most people that wanted to buy the new console have no clue what DRM is or how that will affect them.
I personally can't get upset about the new xbox or PS4 DRM, won't make any difference for my PC games

That is one bland and ugly looking console.

The new COD (not that I want to play COD) looks practically the same graphics-wise as MW3 and this was supposed to "blow us away".

You seem to be reaching pretty hard there. I'm no CoD fan boy, but you must be blind as hell to not see the huge differences in graphics.

Unfortunately for COD, Crysis had better looking faces in 2007 on PC. Oh boy, consoles finally caught up to PC tech from 6 years ago!

I've been in that closet about a dozen times or so over the years; it's always better to be safe than sorry.

So I guess "coming out of the closet" has a slightly different meaning in your case

Just got back from Trek - really enjoyed it. If you liked the last one, I can't see you not liking this one.

And conversely those of us hated it will hate this one too?

I would say so as well. They're continuing an alternate timeline, with some similarities and some differences.

I'm glad that you're ok Blue. We don't know each other in real life but you have a large impact on my life and I'm sure the same is true for the rest of the people who visit daily. Your website is like no other and you've enriched our lives by giving us a home here at Bluesnews. Thanks man and while I'm at it, thanks to all the people who help make Bluesnews possible. And no, I haven't been drinking.

I take our daughter to McDonalds once in awhile because she loves it but generally speaking I do not eat at fast food places, no. If I'm going to have the calories and salt, I might as well do it at a real restaurant to get quality food and often the meal doesn't take much longer anyway. Fast food is also getting fairly pricey these days for what amounts to deep fried processed crap and junk ingredients.

Nothing food snob about it BTW, it's just sensible eating for your enjoyment and long term well being If fast food was a good value for body/money and tasted good I'd do it all the time.

I also love cooking and appreciate the work that goes into a real meal

food snobs! or maybe i'm just a human trash disposal. i eat it all (and i have a particular fondness for jack in the box). and no i'm not fat either =P not even mildly obese. i'm not the svelt 25 y/o athlete anymore, but i still look good in tight clothes.

I admit I sometimes eat stuff I probably shouldn't, but I also have 200-300 calories b-fasts and 250-400 calorie dinners most days, so I'd like to think it evens out.

A survey of thousands of peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals has found 97.1% agreed that climate change is caused by human activity.

I'm sure that we'll get lots of people who will deny AGW regardless of this research. To paraphrase Upton Sinclair, it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his lifestyle depends on his not understanding it.
