I'll admit, the idea of everything digital and discs just a distribution method sounds cool, in that if the world was filled of XOs, I could go anywhere, login, and there's all of my stuff (games and saves). Though, I primarily game from home (but my 3DS does go with me on business trips), so that's not a huge factor for me.

Or you could go anywhere, log in, wait an hour or so for your game to download, and then, there's your stuff.
Until internet speeds are 100x the speed they currently are, cloud gaming isnt worth a shit. (and i still want a tangible product)

Take a look at this little article and tell me shat you think. I happen to agree with the writer. I am curious what the other members thing though.

Not that we need to beat this dead horse any further, but...
If your Xbox account is banned for any reason, you lose all your games

Yup. Very well written.
I don't want the xone to fail, I want ms to change their tactics.
I have a feeling that things are going to get very messy. This thing will be hacked really quickly, piracy is going to be rife, and there is a danger of it going down down the drain for no other reason than a few stupid decisions regarding drm. Get ready for the shit storm when games start appearing on line. Rather than spending money on development, ms are going to be taking the world and his wife to court.
If a car manufacturer told me I wasn't allowed to sell my car, other than through their own channels, and they would be keeping most of the money from said sale, I'd tell them to stick it. I think the gaming community should be doing the same with this. If we speak out with hardware sales, they will be forced to rethink early on, rather than the inevitable low software sales for some of the smaller developers, putting them out of business. Leaving us with not much more than COD/halo games on the market.
I never resell games, but my collection is something I may wish to sell in the future. Why would I lay down thousands of dollars/pounds/euros for a collection that may have no resale value if/when I decide to get rid of it.
I am torn though, because as a piece of tech kit, it does interest me. It's a powerful little box, and I like how it looks. I guess we all just need to sit tight and see how it pans out.

i didn't even care about xbone being demoed on pcs with windows 7 because that's fairly standard procedure, but it's interestng to note that ps4 demos at e3 were actually running on ps4s. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Xbox-One-Games-E3-Were-Running-Windows-7-With-Nvidia-GTX-Cards-56737.html
because it's saying something about their engineers, along with the facts that the xbone is bigger yet less powerful and apparently having overheating issues. i hear they may need to downclock them too, but it's hard to know for sure with all the schadenfreude in the news right now.
