YOOOOOOOOOOOO XD

Well, so much for all that talk of this being the "exciting vision of the future" huh? All that sweet shit about how the DRM and constant internet connection would be a big step over the PS4, aka "the Xbox 360 2.0" according to MS, just went out the fucking window.

So what will CliffyB say now? He was going on about how "we were all being punked" by Sony and that they'd put in the same restrictions to justify all the budgetary bloat in the industry at the high end. Thankfully, MS was smart enough to listen to consumers, instead of the corporate sycophants and bean counters that goaded them into their stupid ass policies to begin with.

Granted, I'm still not looking to get a Xone anytime soon. The PS4 will be cheaper, isn't being hawked as a media box nearly as hard, and isn't pushing the new camera or Move down our throats. But at least now, if I want to get a Xone down the road when to play stuff like Killer Instinct, it won't feel like a deal with the devil.

And thus, just one week after getting stomped out by Sony, MS was forced to completely reverse course. What do you think about it?

This is great news. I won't be buying a X1, but at least those that do won't have to worry about owning a paperweight when MS shuts the servers down. Let's just hope they don't go back and change it again lol.

I think they've already embarassed themselves enough. :p

I feel about the same. I'm still getting a PS4 first but I applaud microsoft for listening. (And I'll be more likely to get an Xbox 1 in the future)

I'm still not going to get one right away, not until there are enough good games I want to play on it to warrant a purchase.  That's the deciding factor on when I buy a new console.

I think from a business standpoint Microsoft made the smart choice even if did take half the gaming world to change there mind.

I think Microsoft may have learned a very important lesson here: people vote with their wallets when they're pissed off. Also, don't make your customers angry, it will come back and bite you in the ass.

I will be getting a PS4 as well. Glad that Microsoft changed it's mind though. I have and will always be a Playstation gamer. I do own a Xbox and Xbox 360 though.

I will now wait until a decent time after launch to make sure everyone is on the same page, and you early adopting lemmings have worked out any kinks for me. Tongue Out

But seriously, great news. Must have been getting outpaced in those pre-sales pretty hard.

Good for them. I don't give much importance to the news since i'm not very interested in getting and Xbone and I kinda got burned out by discussions regarding the console.

I hope someone writes a book about all of this to see exactly what was going on in the minds of microsoft employees that had a hand in creating the Xbox One's policies and reversals. I'd read it.
