An incredible turn around if Microsoft admit they were wrong about almost everything they have been saying was right! Welcome none the less, the gamer ultimately wins.

Yes. They will take a while to implement it. They are going to dump it all. Do not worry. They realize it is a bad decision.


Yeah right...that very encouraging. It seals the deal then! Xbone won the generation!

I see that you have a Last of Us sig and Avatar. For some reason I think you are being sarcastic.


Cause you are jumping the gun so quick. As for now, everything I've seen is that the site will be updated, so who knows what will still be in place and what will be taken down. I know Idon't, at least yet. Certainly not from the Turkish thread where you also claimed instant victory.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

how does the PS4 have more problems? The internet has made it's decision and the PS4 has taken over the Xbox One... The other system that is in big problems is the Wii U.

Sales determine the winner, and neither are out yet...so who knows.

well, financials determine the winner in my opinion but yes, we will maybe only know after the third holiday season or so who will win the gen and surely not today or in two months.

Whats INSANE is how fast this all happened. I learned a few things yesterday and now a massive policy change in response? This litteraly happened in the past 24 or so hours


You are one of our largest Microsoft supporters on this site. Before these announcements, did you think it would be a hard road to the top for Microsoft this generation? Or were you not worried about these policies?

 

It is amazing that a company actually paid attention to it's fans. Especially this fast.

Especially when I am used to Nintendo never listening to us. Makes me very happy to see this.


But it was all sony fans complaining about everything xbone with no intention to ever buy it? So MS hasn't listened to their fans. This is sarcasm by the way. Since you asked someone else if they were being sarcastic.

If they do actually change things, it does make it look a lot more appealing, but it doesn't change the fact that the PS4 still has a lot going for it. This won't turn the tide, but it will help MS tremendously. Again, if it's for real.



They're still more expensive than the PS4, but they're certainly in much better shape than they were 30 minutes ago.



Huh. I'm still not sure if Microsoft cut enough out to actually change things, but I was sure Microsoft was going to eat dirt for two years after launch before backtracking. Being willing to respond before launch is promising.


I didn't have a problem with the ideas behind Microsoft's policies, but I found their application to be inexcusably draconian. Had the check-in system been once a week, with an initial two week grace period (for loaning games) I wouldn't have even blinked. Yeah, it's totally fair to expect a borrowed game to return to the owner in three weeks. I can complete the biggest RPGs in that time. But locking out borrowing games completely? Checking my papers more often than I boot my console? That's way over the line.

I'm still reserving judgement, but backtracking on anything is promising.



Probably not, but it seems less likely to fail horribly now.

Took steps in the right direction, but it might not be enough still.
Damage has been done and it's still more expensive and less powerful on paper than PS4.
No region lock seems to be the most unexpected change however (as long as it applies to retail too).
