@Razieluigi Yes. I think there's a lot of reasons people are doing this and 'just because we can' is certainly on that list too. I see a large portion of the gaming market getting tired of the direction modern gaming is going. My last tattoo my artist was telling me about getting a PS2 and how shocked he was he could just put the disc in and play. He'd never experienced gaming without updates, DLC, and insane install times. The trade off in graphics didn't even phase him because if he only has 20-30 minutes he can actually play something instead of sitting and watching an update or something. This stuff is also dramatically cheaper for devs and consumers. I see this trend only growing over time.
Twelve whole frames of rewind huh? Better realize your mistake really, really fast. Here's what will happen (because it's what they always do): it will be released with some fairly major bug. A firmware update will appear eventually that fixes most of the issues and they'll never update it again and everyone will be stuck with a box that mostly works like it should if they knew about the update. The other people that don't Google obscure stuff like that will be left with a box that doesn't work for crap.
