{confirmed} Xbox reverses DRM decisions and connectivity

Yup. So now for a 100$ more i get.

Then New Kinect
the deal with NFL Network
All the media hoopla
.....wait for it...wait for it..

i still get the new CoD maps a month before Sony :)
 
Kinect, don't need it
NFL, what's that?
PS4 can be used as a media machine
COD, overrated

Plus it's more than likely they'll add the restrictions back on with a software update. I'll stick with the more powerful PS4

:p:D

more powerful? Please explain. Other than the different type of Ram they're the same for the most part.


I was going to buy the Xbone regardless. But the 24 hour check meant i just wasn't going to get it at launch. I have both reserved. I was going with PS4 at launch and Xbone later. Now that will probably reverse.

some people don't like CoD and yeah don't need or want the other stuff. Personally for me i'm interested in it. Not to mention i've always like the Xbox Dashboard better anyway.

FWIW i do and have for the last several years owned the PS3 and 360
 
Yeah I know there's not a lot in it. The PS4's custom cpu/gpu is slightly better. I was just pulling your leg more than anything else:)

I used to love CoD, but I really disliked where Activision took the franchise, so I stopped playing it altogether. If I want my (short-lived) FPS fix, I'll play BF4 since it's more realistic anyway.

As do I, but I just can't give them money after this stunt. I refuse. We're enabling them to continue their greed and arrogance.

but after the reversal what greed are they displaying? you have to pay for PSplus.

PS+ isn't a requirement though. Also, I wasn't referring to greed as in charging to use XBL. I already know that XBL is the superior online experience from being a long time M$ supporter since the OG Xbox. However, what I am referring to is the fact that they really did think that the anti-consumer policies were a good idea and fully planned to stick by them until all of the backlash came about. I believe the damage has been done already and M$ will see their sales take quite a hit because of this nonsense they pulled.
 
Not only that, but I don't think I'll still be getting the Xbox One simply because of what M$ tried to do to us and thought it's fans would still get the console regardless of the restrictions and DRM. They'll probably go back on what they said once people get roped in since they can change their policy anytime they see fit. Plus, in my opinion I could care less for Call Of Duty. :)

PS+ will be required for online play with the PS4. But, I agree with you. M$ made the big announcement to test the waters and see how bad the response would be. Even though they've reversed the policies, the damage is done. It's not good for consumer trust to propose anti-consumer policies, and then flip-flop when there's vocal opposition.

The fact that they are able to change it so easily makes me think they knew they knew it wouldn't fly. All their arrogant talk about connected experiences, and "buy a 360 if you don't have internet," didn't help either.

Not all PS4 online games are going to require PS Plus. It's up to the developer.

Well idk about the monthly price but the 12 month charge is 60 for the Live and for PSN+ its 50

But if what is rumored to be the price is indeed 5 dollars per month, 5*12 = 60. So maybe there will be a monthly rate and a yearly bundle reduced rate when the new system launches? Or maybe that 50 is going to go up to 60. :confused:

I think that's only for certain titles. It really doesn't matter to me though because the bundle I pre-ordered on Amazon comes with 1 yr of PS+ alongside BF4 and the console. I'll probably end up snagging Watch Dogs and any other interesting launch titles.
