Forums - Microsoft Discussion - XBOX FANS ONLY: Did the DRM news really kill all your interest of ever getting a Xbox One?

I've slept on all this tragic news about the Xbox One. But in retrospect, it doesn't change my plans all that much.

I hate that it'll likely change my gaming habits. I won't be able to rent, borrow, or buy dirt cheap used games. But when prices go down and Halo 5 is released, its gonna be hard to resist. So I know I'm gonna have to buy it eventually.

For the next year or two I'm gonna be fine just playing PS3 and 360. I still got a large back log and games are still coming.

So I ask again! Did this news really kill any interest of ever getting a Xbox One?

Around the Network

Never even crossed my mind not to get an Xbox One, online unclarity and no used games don't affect me in the slightest, A: My net is stable, B: Microsoft has yet to work out the full details, C: Don't buy or used sell games anyway.



If the used games part of it is true then yes. Everything else about the Xbox One didn't bother me in the slightest.



I am not a early adopter, but this by any means wasn't a deal breaker to me.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Ill get it eventually, but it sure as hell wont be a launch buy.

Its not just the DRM. Its the lack of information regarding anywhere that isnt America.

Something killed my interest but it would be unfair to blame only the DRM...

Yeah it suck that something that ms does in the US you cant get in the UK, forget that nobody else does it in the first place and therefore you cant get it from them either.

broken logic.

All I want to know is, will all that stuff shown work with the current Sky setup they have with 360.

If they let me know that, then Ill be at least somewhat happy. 

Are they putting a huge focus on this NFL thing ($400 Million focus) and totally ignoring anyone outside of America? Will they get the Premier League? Will they get La Liga? Bundesliga?

If this stuff doesnt work over here, then its not a selling point. If they only focus on NFL, then its not a selling point over here. Then, when you consider that there was only 3 seconds of gameplay, then its not exactly impressive for anyone outside of America if those features are NA exclusive.

E3 will be exciting. But right now, no. Im not impressed.



                            

Never cared for second hand trades, so no. Also have a very stable internet connection.



The new Rare game and the many exclusives seems intriguing though. As well as Halo, of course.



There are some things I am not happy about, but buying the console is still not out out of the question. I am still going to wait until after E3.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
