It's interesting though...

Microsoft attempts to implement DRM in an effort to introduce elements similar to what we see on Computers with Steam (Which theoretically makes it easier to sell indie games as well as bring down the price of regularly charged games) and Sony completely undercuts them with both a lower price point and total abdication on DRM ensuring current consumer models where games continue to sell at inflated prices and Gamestop reaps the rewards.

But why would they? The goodness of their hearts? Money has no heart. Especially at Sony.

This is two corps fighting it out.

kane i love you like a sister but sometimes you're so misguided. this xbox love you have is one of them. the reason why no one wants it "even though it's just like steam" is because the xbox is not a PC and microsoft is not valve. i don't want steam on my console. it's inconvenient to me. it's inconvenient to a lot of people. porting over PC systems to a console does not work. they are not the same device, they will never be the same device, and i doubt many people (aside from those who can make money off it) want it to be the same device.
