    Exactly. With all the great steam sales, the consoles would probably put gamestop out of business if they had a steam app. It would put an end to used games too. If you buy it off steam for 50% off, then the game company would get all the profit. Instead they charge full price and people resell it back to gamestop and all profit off those used games all goes to Gamestop. I'm honestly surprised companies aren't pushing the new console developers into adding a steam app just to increase their own profits. But the companies are mostly greedy. PSN digital download games never go on sale to the extent that the same games would on steam. Hell, I regretted buying Worms Reloaded on PS3 just because of the prices. About a month after I bought it on sale on PSN, steam had it for 50% off including all dlc. I ended up buying the game again because it ran better on my laptop.

    Thats the one thing I don't get about PS3... you cant download anything while the system is off.
     
    While I see you point. The main source of income for MS is its DLC and online community. Its been built that way through its XBL subscription service. Chances are if you have an xbox, you're paying for xbox live.... While Xbox does have single player games, the majority of its library is dedicated towards co-op and multiplayer. People may not like it, but online required is going to be a fixture of gaming in the future, especially when Google fiber goes global.
     
    Another way to look at this is the fact that most developers want online requirements. Lets say MS gives them this, while Sony does not? Who will get most the games, timed exclusives, and DLC content? If Microsoft has been pressured into this by the gaming industry then they are doing whats best for their business in terms of raking in exclusives. Meanwhile, Sony's console may claim that it doesn't have online requirements, but I can guarantee that games like Destiny will require online connectivity regardless. So while MS gives into pressure, it will adversely affect PS4 anyways.
     
    Online requirement will serve a different purpose on consoles. Rather than copyright issues, it will provide a way to better serve the player through on the fly patches, game balancing, and server updates without the need to interrupt gameplay. I've already notice this somewhat being done on COD when playlists get updated and people have to back out to the title screen to refresh their list to be able to join their friends that just got online.

    I doubt they'll ever be able to compete price wise. For one, Alien ware is overpriced. My ASUS runs BF3 at max and It was just as good as the best alienware on the market at that time and half its price. You can build your own for a lot cheaper as well if you're willing to put in the work... it certainly isn't difficult unless you sucked at legos and kenects as a kid.
     
    But even then, Microsoft and Sony subsidize the price of their machines through software and virtual purchases. PC manufactures cannot afford to take a loss on their machines or parts. Plus you are guaranteed that your machine will consistently run new games for 5-8 years without the need to upgrade anything.
     
    The only advantage PC gaming has right now is bundles and half off sale prices, but if it wasn't for consoles and piracy, the state of PC gaming wouldn't be in the shape it is now. lol

    Maybe I should play that game or at least find a video with a complete walkthrough / plot.. I got the basic game with no camera controls for PS2. There was so much dialogue with constant communications that I got bored.

    We need one of these on the moon, and on one of Jupiter's moons. That would be a pretty wild interactive view.

    Twitch.tv and Justin.tv will also auto-embed but you need to post the video link for them. Most twitch channels will have the current video playing.. thats not the correct link. You have to click on the video list on the page and copy the exact url of the video you want to post. Other than that it'll will auto-embed the video for you.

    Medal of Honor Warfighter had quite a few guns with multiple scopes and iron sights. It was a nice change compared to BF3 and CoD Black ops 2. I was able to switch between an ACOG, to a RDS, and rotate the gun over to iron sights. Of course I can't find a video of it at all tho. It was great for taking on enemies at all ranges.
