Exactly what I was going to say. When that A New Microsoft came out, I was blown away and wondered what would happen to the person who produced it. Now he's on the Xbox design team, Awesome. I'll be buying a PS4 this time around though, I hate to use TCO as an example, but it really does matter - If you owned a 360 from day one and you subbed to xbox live, well in Australia that's $90 per year for the last 8 years, that's the cost of a whole second console. Hey how did I turn this into a PS4 vs Xbox One comment.


Not a great argument for the PS4, considering that online play will require a subscription no cheaper then XBL Gold.


Damn you're right, can't believe I missed that detail, I'd pretty much decided on a PS4 because, hey, free PSN

I guess it was pretty amazing to offer that for free, all good things...


In Australia cocaine's probably a cheaper habit than gaming.


Sadly you're right $99 AUD for $49 USD games. Yeeeep. That was fine when the Aussie dollar was buying 50 US cents....

It's like technical books here, 1998? 1999? I think that's around when the AUD bought 50/55 cents, Tech books skyrocketed to twice the price if the US RRP, fair enough. When the Aussie dollar reached parity last year or the year before, those tech books? Still twice the price.
