MS: Heh...uh...Hey Guys! Good News!! We've disabled the DRM! Heh! Yeah...we didn't think it was possible....but it really was. So yeah. Its just a patch, so you still need the internet when you fire it up or its still a big plastic brick, and it leaves the option open for us to just switch it back on after we have your money....but yay for the return of disc based games! Right?



MS: "The Kinect is not optional. It is always on and is an integral, critical part of the hardware."

Consumers: "Yeah, not paying 100 extra dollars for something that barely functions properly, and is probably spying on my household since it's never off. *flips MS the double bird once again.*

MS: Oh you guys! Heh. You know how we kid! Surprise! Heh heh. So guess what! A version of the XBOX One is now available without the Kinect! Yes! We didn't think it was possible either!



MS: "The XBOX One will not feature backward compatability."

Consumers: "K. Ill just take your original suggestion and stick with my 360 then. Enjoy not getting my money!"

MS: "Hey guys! You caught us again! Guess what!?! Backward Compatability!! YES! You can play your 360 games on the XB1 now!!"



These guys have been so full of shit at literally every turn with this console. I get that its hard to admit that you missed the mark with consumers with nearly every aspect of this console, but to sit there and say the shit that they've said only to backpedal and produce the demanded feature later on is just comical.

I own a 360. Ive enjoyed it, and I only purchased it through Sony's colossal screwup with the PS3 launching for a ridiculous 600 dollars.

I doubt Ill be getting the XB1 though. Just waaay too much bullshit thusfar to consider committing to MS for another console.


Those screw ups were all Don Matrick and he's no longer with the company.

They are moving in the right direction now.
