The used digital games thing is only a survey, not a truthfact :(

Nov. 15 launch would be the best thing in the world for me. Stores would be chaotic. I'd just go to watch the fun, then wait for Amazon in the morning.


haha, i agree.  i'd love for a nov 15 date just to see the mad rush of them both releasing the same day.  epic!

 

really hope the digital resell thing happens (xbone and ps4).  it just seems like the right thing to do.  would keep prices soo much more fair across the industry,.. not that digital isn't much much better priced as is but i hate waiting for certain games from subborn companies to drop to fair market prices

Instead to say he is wrong just show some proof...

He is right except the Sony date for now... the post are there to you read and deal with it.

Funny fact... it is now the turn of Xbone fans believe in CBOAT

Why? 

The fact of the matter is, Microsoft has to comply with the law.  In the EU, a judge has determined that the First Sale Doctrine (as it's called in the US) still applies to digital media and that companies must make provisions for that.  That is, consumers must be able to resell their digital media if they want.  So, in part, Microsoft halting its active DRM policy without having certain features in place would have caused it to meet with contention in courts in Europe.

Not to mention, I know I recommended many of the features above to Microsoft and I have to imagine there were a fair number of like-minded people who did too.  Whether what CBOAT says is true or not, doesn't matter.  In the end, the smart thing to do for Microsoft is in-line with what he wrote.  There are several additional things that Microsoft can also do, which isn't included there, but that's a different thing altogether.

It would be great to resell digital games. But I remain skeptical. It's not really needed if the games lower their price after a while. Currently Bully: Scholarship Edition is under $5 on Xbox Live. It's hard to beat things like that.

And with CBOAT's latest track record I remain skeptical.

An interesting post over on Reddit about CBOAT:

1) He said PS4 will launch in October as a "truthfact,' meaning it's fact. False, middle and end of November for NA/EU.

2) He said there is no final indie solution, and that it will come post launch. False, we got a coherent self-publishing statement at Gamescom, taken into effect immediately; you can tweet or email ID@XBOX to get your independent game on Xbox One.

3) He said indie devs will be limited to 3GB RAM total. False, as said at Gamescom indies will get FULL access to Xbox One and all it's RAM/power.

4) He said indies on Xbox One will be published through the "windows store ghetto." False on multiple accounts.

5) He said PSN will have no paywall. False, it was announced you need to pay to play online with PS4 right after.

6) He said he saw an exclusive Prince of Persia for Xbox E3 conference. False, he got the desert from Halo mixed up with PoP, especially because Master Chief was wearing a poncho to hide his appearance from his enemies. He has since apologized, but this goes to show his position within Microsoft, not even knowing something as big and staple as Halo from PoP.

I've seen a few more things in another comprehensive list on NeoGAF, but this week alone drastically affected his percentage rate. Sure he's obviously a whistleblower within MS, but it's funny that he gets to be wrong so many times and have no repercussions on a site that was built on banning people even if wrong one time, all because he's leaked some info in the past. He's able to troll Xbox fans and call them "xbotz" or "xbottlez," and even say he enjoys their "tears."

The vast majority of his "leaks" never end up being proven and/or are extremely vague, and yet people (usually with agendas) take it as gospel. You can tell that over the years he became a disgruntled employee through his post history. Why only post negative info? He can say something like Gamescom announcement not being streamed because the hardware isn't ready, but not because its at 5AM EST? Not because there IS no conference, really? Even though there was tons of game play and UI navigation showed, and over 100 Xbox One consoles to be played by gamers there? Riiiight.

I wonder if he was leaked the wrong info on purpose and caught out. ;)

http://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/1krnbo/cboat_has_gotten_so_many_leaks_wrong_that_its/

I have this strong suspicion that Microsoft is probably throwing false leak info out just to see where it flows to.

Apparently, this isn't out of the ordinary for Microsoft.  Even high up the executive chain.  They will offer (leak) false information to employees to see if it makes it out of the company.

You know that most of the credible VG related info comes from or passes through GAF, right?



ethomaz said:

 So why when I posted my thread everybody said it was false... my thread get proved true after all.


Because you are not telling the full picture.

Like in this your post, why not the quote all from cboat, why only part (hint: because you will be wrong)?

Nah, you are wrong. It is good as news agregator, but origins from there only cboat nonsence.

I quoted the full post... CBOAT just said that about the delay. Are you joking with me?
