Sony Press Conference

Ok so the Sony Press conference just ended, and I'm Gonna quickly burn through the games that made a decent impression because there is something more important to talk about. Showed off Assassins Creed, Watch Dogs, Destiny, Kingdom Hearts 3 (sorta of), elder scrolls online, diablo 3, Mad Max, Final Fantasy 15 (formerly final fantasy versus 13), The Order (steam punk it'll do great), The Dark Sorcerer (I'm not 100% this is a game), Gran Tourismo 6, Batman: Arkham Origins, Beyond two souls, And a metric ton of indy games. Got all that? good. So about a week ago Microsoft put out a press release about how the Xbox One would have to Connect to the internet ever 24hrs to play any game, And how used games where to be handled. People where not pleased with this. So it seems Sony took that press release and wrote a 15 minute speech first saying no online authentication required, metaphorically pantsing Microsoft. Then continued to say trade in your games all you want and full backwards compatibility (something the Xbox One lacks completely), metaphorically giving Microsoft a wedgy. They then finished by saying that their system was going to be $399, continuing with the metaphorical actions this would be where Sony kicked Microsoft square in the testicles. It wasn't pretty. They then made this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaA. Thats just rubbing salt in the wounds. Now a good friend of mine did notice the fine print in that video saying for online multiplayer you would now need their membership services. Something that used to be free on the PS3. Which leads me to believe that Sony gave this massive slap in the face so you wouldn't notice this. Sony you are clever evil genius bastards. While I still have to watch the Nintendo event I think that Sony has the E3 brass ring right in it's reach.
