    All very valid points. My deal breaker is that I have to buy a license even though I have bought the hard copy from. I can understand they are trying to cope with piracy, but seriously, come on.

    Looking forward to PS4 and keeping my 360 with 30-something games (that I actually don't play any longer, because the simple Android games on my Samsung SII are so much more fun to kill time with). I love the mini-games of PS3 though! Looking forward to a lot more of those!

    I'm sticking with PC. Some wonderful racing sims coming out.

    I'll buy a 2nd hand PS3 when GTA5 comes out (my monitor currently supports 720p only anyways). If GTA6 comes out on the same date for PC/Xbox/PS4, I'd never buy a console again I reckon.

    Eh a PS fanboy bashing the xbox. I'll wait until it's released before deciding whether or not I'll be buying one. There's just too much speculation out right now, and M$ can always change their mind on the licensing thing. I think consumers are in such an outrage they won't have much of a choice in the matter.

    If all these points are true, I will not buy. I only bought a 360 because of forza and while it was good I didnt enjoy it as I did enjoy the early GTs (I might be getting too old..).

    Yep... I just simply don't have the time, or enjoyment level for it. I used to be a completionist.

    This is true, and why I said in first post that if I'm in the mood for gaming I'll just play on my Android phone instead...

    I have about 10 driving games on my PS3, I only played GT5 a lot, and loved the first D.I.R.T. game (very much), but the others are never used. Especially Need for speed series, they are garbage, all of them - always tempted to buy them because of newest car lineup and cool graphics, but ALWAYS disappointed...

    But maybe I will get PS4 any way, had every generation and got every one right at the launch. Come on Sony, reveal some details...

    My self built computer will run rings around any XBox 1, 2, 10 or whatever number they use. I don't like intrusive DRM policies, so no thanks.

    That's a real shame. I enjoyed playing games on both the original Xbox and the 360, but if a lot of these points are deal breakers. I hope Microsoft gets some push back and decides to change their stance.

    You can always buy a XBOX 360 or PS3 controller for PC use.

    But, for some games, for example: GranTurismo and the Forza series', it's not possible to play them on a PC.

    I'd be surprised if GranTurismo doesn't exist on PC as an emulator given how popular that series of games is. Granted, it's technically illegal to have the emulator, but if you own the hardcopy of the game and would prefer it on PC, you might be able to convince yourself of no wrongdoing. ;)
