the original DRM implementation and all the features were looking so damn amazing and looked truly next gen, people jumped to conclusions and took rumors as facts (when they were just bullshit rumors) without even giving it a chance. Family share was incredible, sharing your game with up to 10 ppl was amazing, yea only 1 person could play at a time, but its much easier and faster than keep going between friends houses to lend them games and get them back.

Now after the cry babies and the revert, the features wont work to their full potential unless you buy digitally, Which now is restricted to not being able to share and you’d have to pay double price to own the disc into your collection.

I was looking forward to buying a disc, installing and leaving the disc aside in a collection of games for show and not needing to worry about them.

In reality, what people thought was less restricting (the whole non locking of a disc) is actually more restricting when you look properly into the X1 features.

In reply to Dr. Littles. Choice is the key. MS to date has clearly been all over the shop, and I'm not sure they even had (or have) a clear plan. Hopefully they'll catch their breath and actually think about what they're trying to achieve, and put a clear vision and options forward. That said, MS isn't very good at choice (just look at Windows 8), but hopefully they're learning (see upcoming patch for Windows 8 :)).

In reply to brianc6234. FAKE!, Now if you could just get Respawn Entertainment and Nasa to believe that.

In reply to brianc6234. That's what Sony fanboys were saying about XBL years ago, and look how hard Sony has worked to copy that. You really think Sony bought Gaikai, just for streaming games? If you aren't investing in a digital future, and cloud computing, you're being left behind.

Stop talking about this cloud crap. It’s all fake. It won’t work. Just a gimmick Microsoft started using because they know the Xbone fails huge next to the much more powerful PS4.

The solution to XBOX ONE problems lies with XBOX LIVE. Microsoft forgot
what built the XBOX brand, XBOX LIVE. Why not offer the gamers a choice
to choose, rather than forcing the issue. Allowing gamers a choice could
usher in a new era of gaming. Digital is the future but forcing it is
not the answer. Steam and iTunes are models that XBOX ONE is attempting
emulate within the gaming sector. These models felt resistance but
instead of jumping under a rock, they embraced the concerns of the
consumer and found a balance approach to please the masses. Microsoft I
offer you a simple solution: Silver (Free), Gold Basic ($49.99), and
Gold Plus ($59.99). Give gamers the best of both worlds, physical and
digital media. More importantly, give us choices. If you agree with
choices below, maybe someone can offer a polling to see if this something
the gaming community would like to see Microsoft implement.
