Slay's gonna start a militia.
we are. i think its a sign of the times. i feel like everybody wants to be "beyond race" w/o actually putting in the effort and gaining the knowledge it would take to be beyond race.
i know IRL i generally let shit slide for the sake of harmony and because it's just exhausting to check people. i already catch the rep of the angry/mean black guy when that isn't the case at all. if you ask me it's because i don't smile, dance & joke for no reason but that's another story. but i don't need to validate that angry/mean shit by actually living it out.
Shittt, you want to see some real gun control laws? Have a few brothas in the woods with a stockpile of AKs. They would make it illegal to even picture a gun.

Patrick from GiantBomb says its true. Gamechanger for sure, they lost tons of momentum but if its true they can start trying to convince people that the XB1 is worth an extra $100 instead of deflecting questions about whether or not they built skynet.
I preordred one as soon as I heard. If their manufacturing woes are true and they giveup on DRM I'm sure I can flip one for a profit.
If it doesn't happen...LOL

You can still get a day one Xbone on Amazon.
If they get rid of the kinect and drop the price, I'll buy one for personal use instead of scalping it.
As it stands the only thing keeping me away is/was kinect required, no rentals and a higher price for weaker hardware.

Guess they bout to make some adjustments to THE CLOUD
So what are the exact changes? I can't access that xbox wire site and from the GAF thread some are saying only a few of their DRM policies are being changed and not all of them. Some are saying the no used games thing is still unchanged.
Have you seen Titantfall tho?

Last week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.
For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.
Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One.
You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.
So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:
An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.
Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.
In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.
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.
We appreciate your passion, support and willingness to challenge the assumptions of digital licensing and connectivity. While we believe that the majority of people will play games online and access the cloud for both games and entertainment, we will give consumers the choice of both physical and digital content. We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds.
Thank you again for your candid feedback. Our team remains committed to listening, taking feedback and delivering a great product for you later this year.
Fuck these dudes for even attempting this backwards-ass draconian nonsense, but uh...now I can but one(with a price drop) when Halo 5 60fps edition drops and not feel like an asshole

Good for all that. Now drop the Kinect from the box and the price

Get rid of that camera, drop it to 350 and you got me. $500 is still too much for what they're offering vs 400 for what Sony's offering.

Meh, had both preordered anyway, so no biggie. Was really looking forward to that family plan feature though.

I don't want that camera at all. Not sure if my opinion is unpopular or not but that thing was pointless and I don't see it adding functionality to any games I like in any meaningful way. Get that shit out of the box and charge me less.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Even as a Sony fan it's impossible to be salty when you realize that all the developers and executives that spent the last three months taking a huge dump over the industry were just forced to shovel their shit back into their own mouths. Couple that with the fact that this was a win not only for Microsoft but the entire industry in terms of standing up to draconian digital rights implementation and I'd say this was a flawless victory for everyone with an interest in video games.

Anyone trying to spin this as anything other than good news needs to take a breath.
You can still not want one, but having a box like that out there was dangerous because of the chance it had to be successful regardless of have slim that chance was.
As for subsidy talk, I have no idea why cable/internet companies would be interested in helping push a box that is actively trying to get you out of their ecosystem of for sale/rent content.

Agreed, this shit would have set a bad precedent for future gaming policies had they gone on with it and (inevitably) been successful. Hopefully everyone has learned from this, and it will never be attempted again in the future.
My favorite part about this is game journalists being wrong.
My least favorite part is game journalists never admitting they were wrong.
also I wonder how much generic angry gimmick englishman is crying on twitter.
it's just been something that has been talked about and rumored for so long that it just feels like it would be the "trump" card. Unless like you said everyone basically said no
That completely defeats the purpose though. They're packing it in so developers will actually give it the time of day. Peripherals that splinter the market are rarely successful in the long run. Yeah, it tacks on additional cost and not everyone wants it, but it's pretty much the only way to ensure that developers will contemplate utilizing it.
