Xbox 180, lmao.

So, the Microdouches have pulled a 180 with their DRM policies and some other features that were anti-consumer due to the flak they've been receiving from everyone. The best part was how the same spokesperson who said, "You don't like the features, get a 360" is now saying how they've always cared about their customers' inputs. The best part is they'll most likely implement their DRM policies through small updates and patches. Fucking douchebags

Anyways, they're going to try and give as little to the consumer as possible. And speak more bullshit than a politician on election year it looks like. Obviously they can't just pull a complete 180 in a day because of shareholders and all that bullshit. They've already dug themselves a hole, they have to know they're going to be losing even some of their die-hard fans of the lolxbox.

I just like that they had that guy say that, you know that guy got his ass torn behind the scenes because that is an awful thing to say.

But my guess is, they'll keep those policies until they see the dip on the chart and they'll start rolling out patches. They aren't promising people shit with that post.

Out of everyone talking about this stuff I haven't heard a single mention of the kinect still being bundled and them still being able to hear/see you lol

They're still bundling it. It'll still have all the same skynet qualities too.

""However, there will be something of a trade-off for gamers. Microsoft had planned to allow customers to "trade" downloaded games online in exchange for money off new titles. The change of stance means that gamers will no longer be able to do this - something gamers may regret in the future, one analyst suggested."

There were far too many restrictions for it to be viable, or worth your time. I'm not going to buy anything from a company that flat out lied about not being able to get rid of their DRM and other retarded ass restrictions. They're a fickle company who honestly wants sheep for consumers. If Sony hadn't utterly destroyed them in pre-order sales, they would've still kept their original plan. Don't buy into their crap, wouldn't be surprised if they're just spouting shit so that gamers beg for them to reinstate the anti-consumer practices Microsoft originally concocted.

The fucked up part is if they change their mind all it takes is a patch and all of those things people hate so much are instantly back and there's nothing they can do lol

Well, that is what will happen. They'll slowly implement their original design through updates and they won't give two shits because they'll already have their consumers' money. Seriously, fuck them.
