Good news indeed! Very Happy


If there's something you DON'T like about the Xbox One you should speak up, M$ are paying loads of people to troll forums, youtube, google+ and other places for intel. If you didn't think they would listen you must be pretty stupid. Personally, there wasn't anything in the announcement i didn't like apart from the fact that you had to have the kinect sensor always connected. Fuck that, but if i have to i will.

To be fair Hobbs M$ usualy listens like a deaf person. Its all about the money. They realised they were driving customers to the competition so they backtracked. Was the same with their linux war, now M$ contributes code and cash to linux development

And that proves my point that they were afraid of sales not coming in which is the only reason why they got rid of drm.

But even churches ask for money Laughing

Someone on another froum said they could decide to go back to drm with a future update.

I bet it was a ps forum, that's just ridiculous. they can't change the requirements of console after they sale the first one

It matters is that they can't change it.

That was one of the problems of the X360, they sold a version with no HDD so they couldnt force people to play a game on HDD only and games like Rage suffer from that

I dont think there is anything legally stoping them from future firmware update to run their DRM scenario. Have you ever read their license agreements? You know, the ones we scroll down 50 pages, or just click accept when initially setting up a system or when updating..... They reserve the right to pretty much do what ever they want with their software and additionally any use of it on the hardware we "buy"!

I just refuse to believe they would have the balls to after recent events.
