Doesn't scare me. I'm as old school as you can possibly get but I like technology, I like change too. Things can't stay the same forever. We can't really stop it. I'm not going to stop gaming or being interested in gaming no matter what happens. At least for now, there is choice and we can have it both ways. Most likely there will always be PC to turn too so don't give up hope.

All this is is a rental disguised as a purchase. The only way M$ could make it more insulting is if they hired a team of bruisers to go into your house and take the console back when they decide the rental is over.

And if M$ continues with this plan then the lifespan of the console is going to be pathetic. Majority will jump to PS4 and PC just leaving the die-hard fanboys who buy it just cause its XBOX.

When you buy something it equals ownsership. When the seller can just take it back whenever they want it means you own nothing. Seriously who wans to be at the whim of M$? They have one of the worst track records in the history of computers. And just wait until something breaks, yaay time to talk to some whack job in Bangalore who cant even speak or understand english.

It's starting to get really old when people talk about consoles and they always fall back to talk about pc's.

PC is going the same route thanks to Steam BARF. RE6 is a perfect example of the impending switch to download, no physical media. But at least Steam does let you play offline as long as you want, but I dont see that lasting if M$ is succesful with this push. Either way though Im no fan of no physical copy. Or of these games that cheap out and dont even include a manual but rather a link to download it. I think more than anything the hate comes back to people hoding the belief if you buy it nobody can tell you what to do with it, and M$ wants to change this. They want to dictate from moment 1, get paid for the product yet retain all rights and treat you like a blubbering idiot. It reminds me of how M$ used to try and make people buy a new license for Windows or Office if they switch to another PC or did extensive upgrading to the hardware.
