So I'm tired of listening to people blindly support and blindly bash this console in here. Even worse, I'm annoyed by people making assumptions about my viewpoints and calling names because of it. So, I am making this thread to (hopefully) avoid that ridiculousness. The intention here is to not do what we're already doing--call names, and say "I hate this," or "I love that." If you're going to post here, pretty simple rules:
1. If you want to say you don't like something, don't just say you don't like it. Offer a MEANINGFUL alternative to the problem. Case in point, don't just say, "remove the 24-hour check-in," suggest something like requiring the disc to be present for an initial spin-up to verify your ownership of the license, then let the disc drive sleep while you play the game from the HDD.
2. If you're going to discredit someone's suggestion, don't just dismiss it. Try to improve it or explain why it is an untenable philosophy. If you think that a disc-based check-in isn't a reasonable alternative to an online-based one, explain why.
3. Avoid name-calling. It doesn't progress the discussion in a positive manner, and it makes you look petty. More importantly, it makes you look unintelligent, as name-calling isn't a means of defending an argument.
So, that's that with this thread. I'm going to start posting suggestions here in a moment, and I encourage others to do the same.
