Keep dreaming they will not change their policies. The infrastructure can not be changed that easily. Watch the angry joe interview with major nelson. He grabs the mic from joe when asked about changing the system's on DRM, connecting every 24 hours and used games policy. He says no it is not that easy to do and these are the policies moving forward. The used games policy is especially squashed seeing how the Disc you buy at the store is just used once like a pc disc. It's worthless after you load the disc into xbox one. Worthless!

Where the decision cames top-down... from the execs itself... everything can be changed... I work for a company like MS.

I HATE SANY FAN BOYS that shit is their fault..... I'm not happy right now

this >>>>>>These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.


this is bollocks outdated Sony way of doing things..... oh well 10 more years and I'll get it the way I want.... no matter what it will happen sooner or later.... this just a battle lost not the war.... hopefully we'll see a steambox soon.... I might drop XB after all

So this is why it was dropped from GameStop! So now the whole E3 thing with the PS4 is nonsense, as it doesn't matter?

Of couse it is matter... if Sony didn't do that at E3 you think we will see these changes today?

Sony jab at E3 was the begin of all... people started to preorder PS4 instead Xbone... even the press pro MS started to say it was a bad move from MS.

Consumers needs to be respected... and now MS undertood that (with low preorder numbers).

Arguably, but in the long run both systems will have the same policies now so...well, you know.

But the price is just too high now. If they were the same price, say with no Kinect, then Xbone wins anyday.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

no region-locking?
" Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions."

It was a cloud service locking... not real region locking.

Well obviously the majority of people didn't want it and pre-ordered the PS4, thats why MS have changed. (+ its Sony, not Sany)

Why blame Sony fanboys for all of this? They didn't tell people not to preorder the XBox One. 

 

I guess you hate the consumer majority.

Xbox One PR and image with gamers during this fiasco

Do you think the new policies are a fiasco?

I don't think they are a fiasco but deatils are still missing...

1. What happens with family plan and sharing? 

2. How will they combat piracy? I install 30 disk based games on an Xbox One and take it offline forever and play single player. Then I give the disks to a friend who does the same...etc

1.) I would say it is gone.

2.) They said all disc based games would require the disc to be in the disc drive in order to work.


You're right... Jesus Fucking Christ.

Back to PC gaming I guess...

I still lost a lot of respect for people who defended the DRM

.... Some people will have a hard time with that... losing internet respect from hatmoza... I hope it was worth it..


Ahahaha! I don't know what I ever did to you for you to always back-hand compliment me (must of hurt your feelings some time ago) but I think it's cute that you still stalk me on VGC after so many years. Say hello to your imaginary girlfriend for me ;P

YAY! :D
This is the best news I've heard this week. Now all they have to do is lower that price to $399 and I'll be buying the Xbox 1 before the PS4!
