Next Gen Game Consoles

[Romero]

I'm not done with PS2 yet... And I keep looking for a PS One in good shape. So I'll not be needing a PS4 or Xbox 720 soon. And I vow to never buy something that can't use second hand games.

PS4, obviously... I mean, I'll always be a Sony loyalist, and I want to continue playing the Uncharted series. WiiU looks interesting, though.

Apparently, having millions of copies of Crysis 2 sold isn't enough for Crytek.

They will maybe not be able to do this against customers in the EU. Tuesday the European Court of Justice (ECJ, the highest court in EU) ruled that it is legal to resell digital copies of digital material (software, music, books etc.)

EU Court OKs Resale of Downloaded, Licensed Software

The European Union's highest court ruled Tuesday that software makers cannot keep people who download programs from selling their licenses for those programs to others -- as long as they disable their own copies.

A court in Munich Germany ruled almost the same in 2008, but that ruling was limited to software. This new ruling goes a step further and it's not limited to just software.

This will likely force the industry to make it possible to use second hand games. And it is not totally unlikely that a legal second hand market in Europe, if it grows very large, will make America adapt their legislation, whether the US likes it or not.

Yeah I heard about that. That's awesome!

Hopefully that will spill over to the US.

PS2 is by far the best console to ever exist.

Then can you tell me you never use Tidus? Everyone tells me he gets ridiculously overpowered later on, but I thought Auron was more developed to the tank role.

Originally yes auron is designed to be the tank but with the way I play I send my final team down a second.path
Tildy's goes down aurons
wakka goes down yunas then aurons
and rikku down lulu's then yunas

If you haven't played the game before then this dosent make much since
tidus becomes a faster tank while wakka does to but learns white magic as well and rikku learns all white and black magic

Autonomy is good for half of the game but hes not fast enough for my taste
