I'm just recommending a bit of healthy scepticism on all y'all's part so that you will avoid both over-hyping this thing and being disappointed when the full reality of the situation is revealed.

 

I see no over hyping, all I see is Sony fans downplaying the feature and making up limitations and decrying it as impossible simply because it's a great feature for gamers.  People are reacting to Sony fans saying this isn't possible, if you all stop saying it's not possible then the discussion can move on.  It's not the Microsoft fans that need to be more reasonable, this is after all their area of the forum to discuss their console.

Oh Gods, lets not start suggesting forum segregation. This is not an area only for MS fans to talk about MS stuff. This is the area of the forum for ANYONE to talk about MS stuff, good, bad or indifferent, praise or criticism, right or wrong.

I guess we'll see whether "a great feature for gamers" is over hyping or not once the Xbone releases and Xbone owners start to use this feature. Count me as one who is very sceptical about how this thing will play out, simply for the reason that, as badgenome has already pointed out, 3rd parties forced Sony to cut the 5 activated platforms down to 2 for PSN games. If the sharing thing is exactly as you guys think then expect 10 to be cut back substantially.

And there you go again, its rather sad to fly in the face of all the evidence and statements that have been OFFICIALLY given.  I understand this will be devastating to all your arguments about how anti consumer the XBO is but please try and at least debate the facts we have to hand now rather than making stuff up.

It's already been shoved down our throats that Microsoft themselves have told publishers that this is the DRM model they are going to use so I doubt they have that much power to stop anything and it's quite clear Microsoft have showed them how they can make more profit with this model.  This is a great feature to engage more gamers to try software they wouldn't normally get the chance to play, I would imagine the publishers realize it is a great market to entice more potential customers to future products.

If people cant even accept that the XBO might have a single positive feature then perhaps we should look at segregation.  It is literally impossible to have any positive discussion about the XBO on this forum and nothing is done about those trolling.  So far since E3 it's been inferred I'm an idiot/fanboy for liking the XBO, I don't give a shit about consumer rights, I'm in denial, etc, etc.  NOT one poster has been banned for making these statements, its a joke.
