well we'll see how far it goes. i'm sure they have some plan.

basically they would have been crushed in pre-orders by the PS4. thats the only real reason they would change this. their plan is to make money. the DRM issues got in the way of that. so now they changed it. if they could pull anything like this off and it wouldnt effect their console sales you bet your ass they would do it in a heart beat

EXACTLY!  If they would have announced at E3 that they were dropping the DRM and all that stuff along with releasing a $400 Kinectless SKU: we would have known they are making these changes to make money AND because it is clearly what their consumers want.  

But instead they acted arragant as hell and dropped it once they realized the launch ratio would have been 6:1 in favor of PS4.  

In all honesty I think they should have just made the DRM worth it and stuck with it at this point.  Now they look like they really don't know what they are doing.  The damage has already been done.  It will only be outsold 3:1 instead of dead on arrival...
