Sony needs to work on the psn system. I added PayPal to buy Under Defeat, and instead of just taking the $2, it emptied my PayPal (which was only $3 something) and then PayPal said I had $0 in it. I have my bank linked to PayPal. To make matters worse, when I removed the billing agreement, I get an email stating "Victor Cardenas has cancelled a Billing Agreement"

Quickly rechecked PayPal to see they rounded it up to $5, which only took $1.69 out of the bank. That's fine, but thanks Sony for making me about shit my pants.

Minimum on PS3 is $5.00/£5.00 for some reason. It will charge it for just the single amount on PS4.

Well, first of all the links are pretty clear most of this was for the beta. Of course that was going to phone home.

Second, the installer for the full version explicitly tells you what data is collected and lets you disable any or all of it on first boot. Fair play none of that stuff should be enabled by default in the first place, but it spells it out in black and white and gives you the option before it even lets you use the thing. They couldn't have made it any more clear.

Methinks you're overreacting just a bit.

Did the Prison of Elders with my Titan, first run of course. The damned exotic I got was a fucking Thunderlord.

Linux isn't that hard to use. There are beginner distros that are as user friendly and all out GUI as it gets.Linux Mint is a great distro for beginners

[toxic]

plus you can just try it out easily with live media, you can boot it from a usb drive or a dvd and use it for a bit without installing anything on your computer

You got 2 decent alternatives, Linux Mint and ReactOS.

ReactOS is not a linux distro, it is a built from the ground up open source OS that is designed to run windows programs natively.

yup.

unless theres no avoiding it I'll stick with 7 also.

See the previous.

Naw, no overreacting here.

Just not ignorant about how microsoft thinks it can do as it pleases to the general user.

Mint is not really designed for beginners, its just designed to be user friendly and with as less hassle as possible.

To me so far Mint is the king of the linux distros .

Except you are on both counts. It has to collect data in order for voice recognition and other features to work, but they're completely optional and you don't have to use them if you don't want to. It literally shoves the menu in your face and lets you disable all this stuff on install.
