This is what I was thinking last night as I was playing Gears2 and being continuously disconnected because the host left the game or had terrible lag. Why are we playing peer-to-peer AND paying for it?
The idea of not having to use windows on a mobile device is one of the reasons I want an iPhone. They won't be happy until they cram that(windows) into everything in America.
The record industry used to define a platinum seller as 1 million units until they started churning out garbage and no one would buy it. Then they dropped the requirements for "platinum" sales. They grade themselves on a curve now.
Again with the hate on used games. They do serve a purpose and that's to keep game prices from reaching insane amounts and balance the market. And Gamestop is the last place I would buy a game used, or even new for that matter. They take advantage of the consumer in either situation, that much I completely agree with.
It's not difficult to imagine 1 account per system. It makes a lot of sense considering to download anything off the PSN store you have to have an account even for the free items. So it really benefits everyone with an internet connection to have an account. And it's free so all the user has to do is take the time to make a password and userid.
Network now...
