OT Console question
My favourite games before that were FF:XI and FF:XII on my PS2.
But you could just play the games and not have to hook up the machine to the internet (well, except for FF:XI, obviously).
Now it seems to me that every new generation of console requires not only to be connected to the internet, but some seem to also have obligatory monthly fees just to connect to their networks? or am I misunderstanding some of the systems?
If I were to buy a new console, it would be to play RPG's, like Phantasy Star, or my old FF:XII (which remains my favourite off-line RPG).
If I bought a Playstation console, would it require a subscription or something?
How about the Microsoft machine?
I also read that, for example, the new PS consoles won't play PS2 games. So I'd have to DL the game from Sony despite already owning it?

Re: OT Console question
As Rawr said you can download them pretty cheaply sometimes (and often a nicer HD version of the same game) and I use it as the lounge Blu-Ray player. We have an xbox 360 too but I got that for my fiance just so he could play Halo and Fable.
we havent bothered to upgrade either yet as none of the "next gen" games really excite me enough.
