Maybe going full digital was the only way they could get publishers on board? It would be great if we could opt in to the 24 hour check and such to get all the benefits but I bet that would be very complicated to do.

It was Steam with games that cost $20 more at full price, no sales, and no offline.

I think supporting the XBO's original features just became "cool" judging by reactions on the gaming side.
This is too funny.
This is too funny.
because it's a BS system that just escalate the problem they were 'fixing'.
Complain about lost money on used game sales.....then instead make buying one or splitting the cost allowed, and 10 people have rights to it...hrmmmmm
They weren't doing any favors by anyone. Bunch of crock, they just wanted control over it.
biggest loss is that the bone used to be a console for the elites of society who want their games in a digital world where they come back from the office take off their tie and say xbone play game and start playing and watching tv while the game is finding a multiplayer match. while you are in the lobby between games, you can rotate your fantasy football roster and bring in Tebow for gronkowsi at tight end.
Now every fucking used game buying sailor moon playing frankmans of this world living in alabama and greenbay can buy this shit. this is like if Lamborghini started making Minivans

If they had the system mostly in place already (like it sounds like they do if it has to be patched in), then having an opt in like that wouldn't be too hard technically.
You were complaining about DRM. I agreed. 24 hour check is dumb and was a deal breaker for me. But sales and cost are not DRM, which was your main issue
"I don't care. It could have had an automated robot arm use a built-in Fleshlight to jerk you off while you play, and it still wouldn't have been worth the DRM bullshit."

Can't wait for MS to backtrack on the backtrack and go back to DRM.
I was complaining about DRM. But Steam isn't just DRM.

Because people rest until every console is exactly the same.
It seems like the share thing may come back post-launch to DD games. That would be great. You are right about all the other stuff. MS' carrot for giving up trade ins and the like was the share thing. Steam's is the sales and the hats. If MS can do both then it will be a good way to ease people into the future
All gabe needs to do is add a game caring feature for households and family's, release a linux/dual os steam box and BAM.

UGH. Fucking sad news.
...and retail.
Steam exists for a reason and it's not because PC had a budding retail marketplace. Steam is a volume business. Unless you plan on converting retail to that instead of a pure margins business, the Steam comparison falls right apart.

Almost done with my third watch-through.
I think it hit me harder because I've spent a few hours a week with his performance, and it's such a thorough portrayal. You feel like you know the guy.

What a crazy day.
I still haven't watched it...
For some reason I don't finish shows anymore. Fell behind on Mad Men and Breaking Bad, started The Wire once... The only ones where I'm up to date are AD and

So many threads being locked In Gaming. So anyone getting a Xbox One at launch after today? For me this really changes nothing, I'm sill not in for a long time.

Doesn't change anything for me either. I'll wait till year two or three before taking the plunge. Maybe we can get an old school price war this time around, but I doubt it.
I've been catching random episodes on TV during dinner, and it's just as good as I remembered it. This is a bummer.
You should watch it. It's part of my big 3 - The Shield, The Sopranos, The Wire
