I'll not reward Microsoft for coming to its senses and covering its ass A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 20/06/2013 10:15:09 AM

If anything, I'm shocked it took them this long, and especially at the string of ridiculously stupid remarks various members of their camp have made. "We have a device for that, it's called a 360," and so on.

I am perfectly happy gaming on my PC. I'd like a console, but I can get by just fine without one as well. I certainly wouldn't touch the Xbox One with a ten foot pole, no matter what they do at this point, simply because they've been so anti-consumer and so stupid for so long that I've lost all respect and interest in them. No, it's a PS4 or nothing for me.

But before I am accused of being a fanboy (although thankfully this forum isn't like what typical gaming forums devolve into), in this case it isn't that I love Sony more, but simply hate it less. As I said, I'd be just fine without a console anyway, and I am not going to purchase a PS4 earlier than Black Friday 2014, so I'll simply wait and see how it shapes up then. And if by that time Microsoft has also done away with their mandatory Kinect policy and generally shaped up, perhaps I'll give the Xbox One a moment's consideration too.

Aaaaaaand Microsoft does a 180. No more phone-home, used game restrictions, etc. - 19/06/2013 10:26:37 PM 1497 Views
No, it's cool...we didn't really mean it. - 19/06/2013 10:38:56 PM 962 Views
The technology is still there... - 19/06/2013 10:51:53 PM 798 Views
It's just software, of course it's still there. - 20/06/2013 02:03:35 AM 1046 Views

Why not? That's exactly what's supposed to happen. - 20/06/2013 04:02:30 PM 1031 Views

Ok, makes more sense with the body of the message. - 20/06/2013 07:00:36 PM 845 Views
