Xbox One-80's their DRM policy

[KGameLover1 1306]

http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/update

-No more 24-hour online connection. You can play offline games whenever.

-Disc-based games work like they always have. Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today.

-In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- Xbox One is region free. (!!!!!!)

Meh. I'm glad they changed this. Now it all comes down to the games - and right now, for me, the X1 is winning. (Still buying both, it's a question of which I buy first.)

[Marvin 1296]

Too little, too late. I'm buying a PS4.

[Don Danzone 410]

I have the feeling they listened to their users a few days/weeks to late... they should have presented this at E3...

[SexyBatman 705]

They should have done this from the beginning, no excuse for even having any of those "features."

Also I find it kinda funny after a week of them trying to justify all the drm and shit, they just go ahead and pull the plug.

we'll see but I honestly doubt it.

If it doesn't, no problem. Just throw a fucking towel over top of it if you're so worried.

[L_Bacon 22]

I feel like this would be such a pain to try to change in their software or is it actually a pretty easy thing to fix?

[Ghost X 710]

It's a bit late, but it's good of them to admit mistakes and correct them.

[ElectronicDrug 7496]

It'll take a lot of work to 180 the development. Luckily it'll also be less work for them in certain areas

[TurtleFrenzy 2612]

I wouldn't think the WHOLE SYSTEM would revolve around the DRM, rather it was a preference they chose to take.

Well, I still think it's too late for Xbox. They may have brought back a few people who previously were Xbox fans, but those who were on the fence have pretty much made their mind already with how the E3 performances went. At least they -finally- realized how much they screwed up.

[ZachPL 1754]

It is a serious joke if you guys think it is too late for xbox. 

[Jiyeon 369]

This is a huge plus for them. Not necessarily too late, but I feel like they would have had a lot more buyers right off the bat if they did this initially.

[Ethan 63]

Still a lot of kids with rich parents will be getting them. It isn't even close to "over" for Xbox, they just might not beat the PS4 in sales.

[MisterTurkes 544]

100 bucks less im an xbox guy but that price is away to fuckin steep on the. we callin it the 180 now? 

[TurtleFrenzy 2612]

It is a serious joke if you guys think it is too late for xbox.

It's too late for them to get a majority of people who were on the fence about buying either console.

[fps_trucka 1715]

I just don't know what to think, I am pretty sure I will still probably go with the PS4.

They'll win because Xbox pissed off its market. Simple as that. Like people have said most consumers who were deciding which console to buy have already decided on a PS4.

[IntoxicatedDog 125]

we'll see but I honestly doubt it.

If it doesn't, no problem. Just throw a fucking towel over top of it if you're so worried.

So just have it recording everything then?

[Arrkham 291]

I thought that either Microsoft would take the risk and leave it how it was, or change it to how it is now. Glad they changed it, cause now I will be buying one.

[Siesan 1802]

The problems with the Xbone are as follows:

1. shitty shovelware exclusives

2. 2 or 3 actual good exclusives

3. Praises itself off of things that have already been done

4. "the next watercooler"

5. always-on camera when Xbone is online from the guys who supported prism (see, 1984)

6. support in 21 or so countries (not including Japan or Poland)

6.5: Witcher 3 devs can't develop for Xbone because they live in Poland

7. trying too hard to make xbox live into a steam competitor

8. Microsoft employees advertising the Xbone at best buys during nintendo's best buy events

9. the fact they used computers with windows 7 (lel) for all the playable demos at E3

10. their "share among 10 family members" thing was scrapped in favor of PR

 

MS went into full force damage control and it's turning out to be a PR nightmare. The Xbone itself doesn't look promising, and most of it's good games are multiplats i can buy on either the PS4 or Steam. Microsoft what are you doing?

Out of both Xbox one and PS4, I think the clear winner here is PC.
