REPLACES DRAGON CON / ACE, INC. Dragon Con will Continue the Agreements With Hotels, Guests and Performers. ATLANTA – July 8, 2013 – The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Dragon Con / ACE, Inc., producer of Dragon*Con, Atlanta’s internationally known pop culture, fantasy and sci-fi convention, have agreed to merge the company into Dragon Con, Inc. (Dragon Con) in a cash-out merger. Led by Pat Henry, David Cody and Robert Dennis, ownership of Dragon Con includes five of the six founding owners of Dragon Con / ACE (the old Dragon Con). The effective date of the merger is July 8, 2013. Edward Kramer, who has not had any role in managing or organizing the convention since 2000, was offered cash for his shares in the old company. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. “This decision only affects the ownership of the old Dragon Con,” said Pat Henry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dragon Con. “Our members and others who attend Dragon*Con 2013 will experience the same fantastic convention they have come to expect from us.” Dragon Con will continue the agreements with each of the host and overflow hotels associated with the convention as well as all of the guests and performers scheduled to appear at this year’s event, either “as is” or with amendments recognizing Dragon Con as owner.
  8. I dont think they can pull a switch now and go back to their original Plan... If they do they are setting themselves up for major lawsuits What they can do is make awesome games that follow this original game plan. Want to play Halo 5? Oh, that requires checking in online. Excited for the new Gears of War? Install your copy to the hard drive, and get a free weapons pack and bonus levels. And so on... Thats a publisher thing... If microsoft implements it at the console level thats different.

  10. If they hadn't have changed their mind, the Xbox One would have been Microsoft's last foray in consoles. I don't remember if it was them or HP that had a major tablet flop, but if it was them then a flop with the Xbox could settle them firmly back into software and nothing more, and even Windows is losing market share, isn't it? That would have been bad for them all around. It was HP
  11. Could be she was caught with three woman in the womens room.
  12. That is correct for Xbox. Think so on the PS4, but you will need PS Plus to play mutliplayer on the PS4. On PS4 no Plus needed to access Netflix but yes on the Multiplayer. Kida sucks you end up paying twice for Nextflix on Xbox
  13. I heard and I could be wrong in order to access Netflix and other non X-box Content you need to have a Xbox gold account on teh Xbox 1. With PS4 you do not need to have any kind of membership
  14. If anything the industry needs one machine less, not one machine more. I would say its not a market they need to go into. Then again, I would have said the same thing about the phone market before the iphone Apple is hedging the casual gamers market. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember reading a story that said that more games are played on Apple devices than consoles and other smartphones/tablets. Those are just casual games that dont compare to the console pc games.
  15. I can share a PS4 game with as many people as I want who are not in my familly. I wonder How Companies like EA will cope with the two systems having two different DRM methods
  16. Are they sayin most of Europe, China and Africa dont have internet?
  17. I checked worldwide release dates... Looks like they wont be showing it in Canada as it has no release date
  18. Yoshida: 'PS4 is region free'. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/11/yoshida-ps4-is-region-free/..The PlayStation 4 is "region free," according to Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida. At Monday's E3 conference, Sony announced its new console will launch at $399, and comes with "no restrictions" on used games. Afterwards, Yoshida took to Twitter with the extra bit of PS4 news. It's unclear if Yoshida's statement indicates the PS4 will be region-free in the same way the PS3 is. The PS3 can play game discs no matter which geographical region they're tied to, minus the sole exception of Persona 4 Arena. There are region-based PlayStation Network restrictions when it comes to downloadable games on the PS3. Update: When approached about Yoshida's comment, a Sony Computer Entertainment spokesperson gave us the following statement: "In general, neither digital or disc-based games will be region locked, but we recommend users purchase games at the region of their residence to guarantee the best overall consumer experience (eg, customer service). In addition, certain software makers' game titles may be region locked."
  19. Is this true?!!!! This alone could sway my choice over to the PS4. Same here but I hear you will need a Playstation Plus membership to play online http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/06/11/e3-2013-playstation-plus-required-for-ps4-online-play At its E3 press briefing, Sony confirmed that PlayStation 4 will require PlayStation Plus in order to play games online. This is similar to Microsoft's current approach to online gaming with Xbox Live Gold. At the same time, Sony also confirmed that you'll be able to play all single-player games as well as use all media services without subscribing to PS+. Your current PS3 membership will transfer over to PS4.
  20. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2420118,00.asp Microsoft Xbox One: No Internet? Big Problem Since Microsoft's Xbox One announcement, hardcore gamers have been nervous about the system's limiting features thanks to Microsoft's mixed messages about how the console will function. Putting aside the mechanics of game trading and a Big Brother-esque Kinect sensor, Microsoft has confirmed one important detail about the Xbox One: It will have to connect to the Internet every 24 hours to play games... What happens if they get hacked ala PS3 and servers go down for a month? What happens if you lose your Internet connection for a few days?
  21. Sorry but you have been misinformed. You do not need to be online all the time and you will be able to buy used games. http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4352542/xbox-one-always-online-not-required-used-games-work Let's begin at the beginning. Will it be backwards compatible? No, confirmed thus far by Gamespot. Of course, this is the same site that announced it will require an Internet connection before the press release. Will there be a fee for used games? Unclear, but looking to be that way. This means the preowned market is severely limited on this console. Either way it won't matter. I won't buy or sell it...oh wait, as a dealer I may not be able to...no loss! MS has confirmed that it will not be backward compatible. Which is no big deal to me. I was excited that the 360 was able to play some of the first Xbox's games and then I never played any of the first gen games. I know for some people this is important, but for me it's not a big deal. I'll still have the the 360 in the house so if I want to play an old game I'll be able to. Old games find their way to the system. I downloaded the first Haol game to the 360 when it was released. I also found an old PS1 game Vigilante 8, and downloaded that. So the old discs may not work, but if the game is popular it will find it's way to the system. I think we need to wait until MS tells us what the cost will be for a used game before we determine how much it will hurt places like Gamestop. Also correct me if I am wrong but isn't Sony talking about the same thing with used games? I like the ability to load the game to the hard drive and then and then never have to put the disc in to play the game. I am going to guess that you will be able to purchase a game on the MS Live and download it to the machine. That is something I would use. I know they have a deal with the NFL, but not sure what that entails. I also want to know more about watching TV through the Xbox. I may be able to send my set-top-box back to Verizon. Finally live action Halo TV show. Problem is, per GameSpot: All those downloaded Xbox Live games you have will NOT transfer to the new system and you will need (thus far) to allow the Xbox One access to an internet connection at least once a day. This is very sad news in my opinion. I will not be buying. Then again, if it wasn't for the 60 GB backwards compatible PS3 that I bought two of brand new; I wouldn't own a PS3 system either... The once a day (or week or month what ever it is) doesn't bother me. It will make the system worthless once the servers are turned off but that's the direction the industry is going. If I have the ability to load the game to my HD and play it without the disc, what prevents me from just giving the game to all my friends? I don't see it as a big deal, but that's me. The PS4 wont be backward compatible either so will you be passing on that system too? I also think this will be the last generation that has a physical copy of a game. I can see the PS5 and the Xbox [whatever] having a big HD and no DVD player. That would be a big shift in the industry. Over all the new Xbox looks good, and I do plan on purchasing one. All I need to know is the release date. The game disc loads the files onto hard drive but to play it you need to use the activation code. Once code is used once it cannot be used again.. So go ahead and lend the disc to friends. In order for them to activate game they need to buy a new code wich microsoft will be happy to sell them at a very high price
