Episode 705: Commercial Bliss

This week is heavy on content on the PlayStation 4 unveiling as the next-generation approaches for both Sony and Microsoft – there’s no room for Nintendo in this episode. Nor is there a lot of Reader, er, Listener Feedback, nor any Gaming Flashback.

This week’s major news includes:

• Sony unveils PS4 at “See the Future”
• Sony: Pre-owned game blockage “up to publishers” on PS4
• Fans express outrage at offline/LAN play for console version of Diablo III
• Rumor: Microsoft revealing next-gen console in April

The Question of the Week is “What was the first videogame periodical or site you enjoyed?”
