well, this was expected. would've been fun to see them try to actual keep at it, but everyone agreed it was doomed from the start. still seems sketchy to me. and their "no" towards drm is really forced and insincere so i don't trust them not to bring it back later now that they have all the systems in place. but for what it's worth, the kinect is now the only thing preventing me from picking one of these up somewhere along the line, eventually. and if they're gonna keep caving then removing that would knock the price down in the process... |

It is because of a day one patch that needs to take the 24 hour check off of the system. |

The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray. --- End quote --- So, my game sharing example in my post above (being able to define a friends/family group of 10 and having an online pool of games to pull from), that my friends and I were excited about and looking forward to now goes away. Downloadable copies can no longer be shared, and disc based games (where in the DRM model, they were simply a means to getting the installation files and for all intensive purposes were downloadable copies), now require the disc, just like the 360 and PS3 (and PS4 I assume). Granted, we could technically still share games by mailing a disc it seems, though, again, I was willing to trade the DRM for the convenience, especially since we are scattered across the country. I mean, if my friend that's a 27 hour drive away just wanted to play some Crimson Dragon for a few hours, he could, and wouldn't have to wait for me to mail him my disc, and for him to mail it back when he was done borrowing it, and for me, the same, if I wanted to play some Forza. Lame. Again, I can understand why some people might be excited about this (those that flip their games, and don't have a reliable Internet connection), though, for my circle of friends, where we typically hold on to our games, and we all have broadband connections, the new DRM model offered up some cool game sharing possibilities (open access to your digital game library to your circle of friends) that are now lost. And again, lame. --- End quote --- I hold onto my games as well. I just have more than what was going to be allowed to "lend" games to. I for one am glad the only 10 thing is dead, or dying rather. |
