Topic: New Xbox

Well there is no day one patch to remove the DRM, nothings shipped yet so thats just not going to be in there. I wouldn't think MS would reverse the stance after people buy in because thats just walking into a class action lawsuit.

Patrick is a good games journalist.

Patrick was the one who broke the news about the DRM.

He was just on Rev3Games on "Address The Sess" live stream/chat minutes ago, just for a few minutes.
This chat is currently in progress about DRM and E3.

I guess its true that you can't please everyone.

Ah, hell.  Things were so black and white, for once.  Now it's back to seeing what shakes, and weighing alternatives.

hahahaha I know right? Suddenly it is so hard to choose between the two again.

Why MS? WHY?

Well there is still a day one mandatory firmware update for the Xbox One, so you have to take it online when setting it up for the first time. So at least for me that kinda keeps me out (until the later models and price drops where I assume those updates will already be rolled in).

They did this on purpose so the still horrible DRM seems more palpable.

Funny enough, Xbox.com and Xbox Live are totally down right now. GFWL is also down but no one noticed (har har).

I saw it go down a few hours ago, but I was getting off anyway.  I wonder what happened.
