Fuck DRMed HDMI. Yay VGA connections.

You can't live with out DRM if you want to buy a new gaming console. :(
And yes, I do hate it sooo much.
There's one more example: http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/17262.cfm

Even the Wii has some form of DRM. Actually, almost every game console did, using the region lock. Strangely enough, there's no DRM at all on games downloaded from PlayStation Network, if I remember correctly.

As for the article... Apple are fools for trying to lock out the third-party accessories market for their iPod.

[Zucca]

Well. Wii may step out with a surprise.
That pretty much would do it. Since I don't need HD-multimedia I'd really go with Wii. But I'm still considering buying it... I can handle with my PC laptop quite well.

<OT>
An article on engadget told that Apple confirms that the chip is, indeed, a DRM chip.

A failure, I say.

hope it's okay to ask, what'd DRM?

[Zucca]

i doubt i would have actually bought one anyway

Digital rights management (DRM) refers to access control technologies used by publishers, copyright holders, and hardware manufacturers to limit usage of digital media or devices. In contrast to copy protection, which only attempts to prohibit unauthorized copies of media or files, digital rights management enables the publisher to control what can and cannot be done with a single instance. For example, a publisher can limit the number of viewings, number of copies, or which devices the media can be transferred to. Digital rights management is being used by companies such as Sony, Apple Inc., Microsoft and the BBC.

And one of the most interesting parts:

Asus released a soundcard which features a function called "Analog Loopback Transformation" to bypass the restrictions of DRM. This feature allows the user to record DRM-restricted audio via the soundcard's built-in analog I/O connection.

I just read on Slashdot that the new iPod Shuffle won't have DRM at all. The chip is for encoding.

[Semix]

thers a new one? aww mines gonna be old lol. I only have a little green shuffle, but still.

For some reason whenever i open itunes my pc re-installs it anwyay >-<

[Aolish]

There both fine systems, the only reason why I got the 360 is because I only know about 2 people that has a PS3 out of everyone that i know that has a 360. The whole point of me buying a console (I haven't bought one since PS1) was to play online with my friends and since I know VERY little ppl that has a PS3, it made sense to get a 360 right now. If I had the money I'd get myself a Wii, PS3, 360 and build the fastest gaming rig pc thats available. But obviously that will never happen lol

Missing option: neither of them

I'm with you on this issue

[Abominae]

I want a PS3. I've seen quite a lot of good games for it and off the top of my head, one of the first I'd like to buy is Disgae 3. I've heard it's actually better than Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (DS/PSP versions have slightly more content, but all in all are essentially the same game).

And let's not forget MGS:4 & Street Fighter 4.
