Preordered one just in case this is true and hoping for a price reduction. If not, i'll just cancel.

Chutebox

lol

I bet a few people are doing that... Then we will have the Xbox fanboys on here screaming about pre-orders again.

I kind off... liked... some of the... restrictions...?

It's just that they didn't apply to me at all and I like to own the physical copy of a game, but really prefered the digital ease of use. Xbox One's policies made it possible to have both. That seemed so awesome to me and if this is true, that's gone.

But I guess it's great for those who really were struck by it.

Also, now it's on.

I doubt it, I'm sure they would have researched how people would react to these policies, done target groups and questionnaires throughout development. They would have known it wouldn't go over too well, so I think they will just stick with their original vision. Making it region free, DRM free and being able to trade games will likely require an entire change in design of how the OS and such is currently set up.

The fact that they even considered this *shivers* Lemmings may hate us for the relentless XB1 bashing, but ultimately we helped them get a drm-free console.

Not really a dream, only rumors until its official. I'm happily onboard for the way things are now, but Im not stupid,. This would be a smart move. And there's no humiliation or shame in admitting you made a mistake.. The shame comes from being to prideful to correct the mistake. This is a 270 billion dollar company and its 5 months to launch. Its insane top think they won't do anything to be successful.

Not going to happen. They already confirmed multiple of times that they weren't going to change anything and they don't see the PS4 as competition. I hope this isn't true because I want the FGC on 1 system :(

I want MS to do it just so I can see the 180 reversals from lems. It took Sony over 3 years to salvage the sinking ship that was their PR department. That gave cows a lot of time to think of excuses in the mean time. MS u-turned their policy in the matter of 3 months. Lems are going to have to think on the fly with this. Should be hilarious. I guess the real world wasn't ready for "the future". :lol:

Hope something like comes off so people can play offline. But if its at expense of family sharing and playing any game without disk it would be a real bummer.

You could do this far out there concept called giving your disc to a friend.

The thing is that you could share a game online and then play that game with the person with whom you shared it. Basically, it meant I can play Destiny or Forza 5 with my friend even if she doesn't own it. That sounded really **** awesome and I had more use for it than physical lending. It would suck if that's gone.

"Region locks have been dropped"

he was talking about his complains about gaming sharing being dropped (digitally). I told him it being dropped didn't matter because the old policy was region locked.

 

I really hope these rumors are true. It shows that the consumer has power.

lol, i`ll keep game sharing thanks. Also, the user base will be small but cool and full of knowledge :) the braindead consumer will flock to the PS4... its like the good ol xbox days again. Please, be a false rumor.
