I'm a collector, so in 20 years, I'd like to own the games I've purchased this or any generation. Can't do that with the Xbox One so I'd never get one.

That being said. I'm not going to deny I'm pro Sony and I'm happy to know that Sony is going to be back in first. Back where the Playstation brand belongs.


You can.

This is actually really good news if it's true.  I'll probably get one at the end of the console life cycle if that's the case.  Hopefully Xbox One doesn't get hacked to pirate games before the end of the systems life, but in the event that Microsoft doesn't stay true to their word of allowing us to play when servers are shut down.  Atleast we'll have a hacker who makes sure we still can. 

The thing is.  I really don't believe Microsoft will go through with removing the 24 hour restriction and the authentication.  If those are removed, because all games are to be installed on the harddrive, then the Xbox One doesn't have to be hacked and any Xbox One game would play.  I just don't see Microsoft doing this, even if it's a dead console, because they could eventually rerelease those g ames one day.
