Yes, it really did. The online check in every 24 hours thing doesn't even bother me that much, it's more of a minor annoyance. What gets to me is the blocking used games. I simply refuse to spend $60 (or probably even more than that this gen) per game. Last generation, I also refused to buy most of my games at this price, and the most viable way to get games cheaper was either to wait a year or 2 for the price to drop, or buy them used. Naturally, I often opted for the second option. Now MS has removed that choice from my hands, so I will respond by not buying their product. Apparently they don't want me as a consumer any more. So be it.
Then you have forced Kinect support, and I hate Kinect.
And the no BC is actually a pretty big deal to me. Now I can't play my old and new games on a single console, and so much for selling my 360. My basement is cluttered enough as it is with all the consoles, controllers, and perhiperals.
I am still baffled MS would be this stupid/crazy. This easily trumps $599USD. At least the PS3 EVENTUALLY came down to a more reasonable price, whereas with Xbox One, we are stuck with this.
I will just stick to my 360 for a couple more years, until I decide to buy a Wii U, and eventually maybe even a PS4. Especially with my new gaming rig that has 8 gig RAM DDR3 and a pretty solid graphics card, why would I ever need an Xbox One?
