Microsoft is *(censored)*. I really don't know what they were thinking. The PS3 was set up for failure, but they've rebounded fairly well. Xbox One just has so many restrictions and bad press.

I'll likely be getting a job next summer, so I'll probably buy a PS4 around then. If I get enough money, I might also buy one of the handhelds. Not sure which

explain pls

What I had in mind was that when you picked a player to keep, you would forfeit a draft pick based on where he was drafted the year before. For example, I picked Harvey in the 17th round, so if I were to keep him, I'd give up my 17th round pick in the draft. I feel this is the most fun and fair because it rewards those that took the chance on young players who brokeout. Plus, it adds strategy to it. Do you keep the 20th best pitcher and lose a 15th rounder, or do you keep the 12th better pitcher and lose a 3rd rounder?

But the way ESPN has it set up is that you lose your first draft picks no matter who you keep. If you keep five players, even if they were late round grabs, you lose your first five draft picks. All this does is force people to keep solely on talent, and not on value.

The only work-around would be if we all agreed not to take each other's keepers.

Does any of that make sense?

I'd rather just do it ESPN's way.

Really? Why?

Because it's easier to get everyone to cooperate that way, and likely everyone would lose at least a couple picks. Essentially there would be no drafting for the first few rounds, except for new members and anyone lazy enough/with a bad enough team to not have keepers.

Awesome! In that case, I'm just gonna ask for a PS4 for Christmas, instead of getting a PS3 for my birthday. I didn't expect the price to be so low!

<3 u sony

Yeah it's my birthday tomorrow, kind of a big deal

Keep a couple things in mind though. Online isn't free on the PS4, you'll need PS+. Games will likely increase to $70 each, instead of the $60 they are now. Plus, it seems that you'll be the only person here to have one. And seeing you live in a small town, you might be the only person to have one there too.

Yeah, I saw that online won't be free. But have they announced how much it'll be per year? And hopefully they don't increase the price of games... $60 is plenty right now.

PS+ is $50 for a year. So, that's $10 cheaper than Live. PS+ also gives you many discounts and free games. But if your PS+ runs out, you lose those free games until you renew.

And it's not confirmed to be $70. But looking at the trends of inflation and previous generations, it's looks like there's a decent chance

I was reading on another forum, and they made it sound like games would stay $60. Hopefully those guys are right. :lol:

And PS4 is just owning XBOX1 in everything. :lol:
