hmmm forbes and major news broadcast are actually digging the XB1.... so the ruckus people in the hardcore sphere is making is irrelevant.... I already read a lot of buzz in the non specialized news giving MS the upper hand... the US media are already pushing behind XB1 and that is more valuable than most policy change choice they'll do to please handful of dead bit past century standard pseudo geeks....
Those fees and terms will be exactly as onerous as Microsoft (and the publishers pulling Microsoft's strings) think they can get away with.
If it really matters to you, now's the time to raise a stink.

I wonder what made them think this was such a bright idea in the first place? i hope they do change it though, it's not too late, but they will have to give very good incentives in order to win gamers hearts back and sell consoles.
It's true what they say, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."

I for one don't see the issue with always on and even the fee system if it ends being like steam or the app/music model in the smartphone world.... but as much as we all bitch one way or the other.... this model is the one that will be enforced more and more across the board for everything tech related in the future so you better get use to it..... |
Hmmm.. MS shill? Wouldn't surprise me. I don't see how any logical gamer (that isn't one of the 1% of super rich folk) would be fine with this.
Anyway, the "geeks" are generally the ones that will buy into this sort of thing, if anything. So, if even the geeks are complaining about this, how do you suppose the average consumer will respond, who don't care nearly as much about gaming? Xbox one is set to be a complete sales disaster if MS doesn't get rid of the whole used game fee and always online thing..
Get used to spending full price on used games? No thanks.. I'd rather just not buy the thing.
no it's not.... look at iTune sales results, and the app store system on any cellphone or tablets, mass customers doesn't look at the second hand market, people like us the minority of hardcore gamer does.... and it's a false problem, from experience it is cheaper to buy new from ebay or amazon than from game stop used.... so I don't see why that would change.....
and the XB1 is really well placed in every general and financial news blog and website I came across.... only in the very secular hardcore gamer sphere are they really bitching....
So far from what I see in headlines PS4 is behind XB1...... but hey in less than 4 month we'll know... but looking at MS future plan and financial health I wouldn't bet a dime on sony for the next decade....wouldn't be surprised to see them end up like Kodak....
