It's all been facetious. This is some of the best trolling I've done in ages.

I'm having a serious deja vu flashback to the election last year. M$ flips as much as R-money did.

Still not buying because
1. kinect shit I don't want
2. the arrogance and hubris displayed by microshit at E3.
3. still 100€ more expensive than the ps4

I doubt Microsoft did this to appease consumers. I bet the publishers were not happy dealing with 2 different ways of publishing games, so they would likely go with the (early) winner of PS4, which would leave Xbone in the dust without 3rd party support. That's a more likely scenario.

I might get one down the line when it drops prices a couple of times. I still don't like the Kinect requirement and wary of MS' policies change.

I was thinking more along the lines of they couldn't get the details hashed out with GameStop on the fees for being able to take in used games and I'm sure the sharing with up to 10 people was a licensing nightmare too. So rather than force an idea that wasn't popular, they just caved.

This is some nutty shit, firmware updates brick some PS3's and M$ does this the day after

Still doesn't sway me towards them as I still have a bad taste from dealing with them during the early 360 days, the Kinect shit and since jpn doesn't care about M$ most of their games are multiplatform

You're a scrappy son of a bitch M$ I'll give you that

I find it odd that the only person defending the Xbox One is some dude who drones on and on about how PCs are superior and says he doesn't give a shit about console games, and yet has probably a third of the posts in this thread.

Your shrill, repetitive voice has been noted. The rest of us clearly think you're full of shit. Why don't you show us all how superior you are by going back to playing stuff with your beloved mouse and keyboard on your wonderful computer? Move on.
The Xbox One isn't his main agenda. His main agenda is that he is Microsoft fan 101. Big time. He's defending the company, which in turn, is defending the Xbox OneEighty (Lantus).

He said similar things in a recent thread where 95% agreed Win8 is gash. But, again, it was everyone else's inability to move on and be forward thinking (etc).

Liquid metal, and all that jazz. We all know who won that fight.

I don't get it. People bitch because Microsoft plans for game licensing and 24 hour phone home and when they revise the blah based on feedback, he same people bitch because Microsoft "caved".


*scratches head*

I guess some people need to bitch, even it they get their way.

Only people bitching about this reversal are MS fanboys.

So I wonder if enough people bitch about the change will they change it back? That would be pretty funny. No, no but really though I have to admit I am surprised they changed direction. Seems like some place I had read something about the change was in the works already before E3 but they wanted to find out reactions first. Sort of like they had it as a plan B all along.

It's funny, I had said to friends that they were going to do a day one update to pull the phone home and DRM parts. They came out with the announcement yesterday and I instantly thought about joining the psychic friends network.
