Maybe they’ll release one more, maybe, but I think that’s it after that. Gears of War on Playstation was already a strong indicator, but this seals it imo.

    But now the Xbox product matrix looks like a Taco Bell menu and console games are sprouting PC-style settings menus and inconsistent behaviour.

    I remember when the PS3 and Xbox360 came out with HDDs (tiny and propietary) and you had to install your games I figured that’d mark the beginning of the end. Used to be one of the better things for consoles was you put the game in and then you play the game and you don’t have to futz around with knowing system specs or fucking with settings. You buy the game with the logo on it and that was a guarantee shit works out of the box.

      The PS3 hard drive wasn’t propriatery. It was a normal 2.5" SATA drive; I took the old 120Gb SSD from a laptop and slid it in my 40Gb fat unit. Still noisy though.
