MS has just announced a name change as well:
Xbox One is now known as Xbox 180.

That made my day, man. Good one!

Stupid policies that never should've been there in the first place. I'm impressed they actually listened to their customers, but I'm more impressed that obviously MS fans also spoke out against the restrictions, or else MS never would have caved in like this. This benefits all gamers, and I'm glad no one listened to the fanboys telling us all to shut up and take it quietly.

Good thing it was only a small minority willing to bend over and pick up the soap

MS:

Very well educated idiots.

 

[Solidus]

That's cause their "PC-like experience" was not even a little teeny tiny bit close to steam, at all.

It was actually worse

I'm happy because they have a deal with DICE for first release map packs for BF4 before PS4 (opposite of BF3 which Sony had the deal).

But I might need to take a shower after I buy the X1, i'm going to feel dirty buying it.

This is good news! I always believed they'd change their minds, although I didn't expect them to completely abandon their policies like this.

However, with the good, comes the bad. For one, we lose the family/friends sharing plan, which I thought was the best thing about the Xbox One.

Family game sharing is out. Also the disc has to be in the console now for it to work. (like this gen)

This is disappointing. I think they were more on the right track then anyone else. Physical disks are soon going to become like tapes, vhs, records, ect.. Once that happens some of the stuff like family plan would have been awesome not so much. Anyone who has more that one gamer should be upset by this but most probably never understood how this could have been good for them. A dad and his kid now have to buy two copies, but hey they can trade them in now for pennies on the dollar vs one copy they might not be able to trade in.

It's too good to be true. It all makes sense now. The Xbox Ones will ship with timed explosives!

I thought this was eliminated.

There's something i'm clearly not understanding.

Or maybe they can buy a single copy and play it on as many accounts as they want. .

Yeah, cx lost the feature to share games with up to 10 family members, now they can only share the game with an infinite amount of family members.

They got rid of the family plan. Things are just like they are now. So if two people in a house want to play same game at same time two copies. With family play a family could have one copy and the main person on plan could play with an additional person at the same time using one copy.

Wow, I am so excited. I love the Xbox one exclusives, and the fact that disc based games will live on on the One....no Internet required to play, I am sold!

Yes, Microsoft you have made the right move!

Physical disks are not going to become like VHS. VHS is not around anymore because it went to dvd now Bluray. Their will always be a demand for physical media. People like to collect **** and actually physically be able to hold their items. Oh and who the hell said records are gone? WTF are you smoking. If anything they are coming back in. RSD is getting bigger and bigger every year. So many more stores are offering up exlcusive colors/packaging for new releases as well.

Not at the same time

Oh no? So you can't just install the game on as many consoles as you want, get offline and play the game.... yeah bummer.

As far as I'm concerned it will only affect multiplayer but the customer gained much much more.

thank you for explaining

the gains outweigh this though.

In addition, CDs have not gone the way of the dodo just because of MP3 file sharing and legal downloads on the Internet.

Physical media will always exist. Not to mention, that personally, I need a physical copy of something to carry to video game signing events. A creator or voice actor can't sign something that exists purely digitally .
