The X1 games look better to me so if some of the policies change I for sure would get a X1 instead.I am leaning towards PS4 not because PS4 looks great but MS policies look bad.

Still more expensive and weaker.. Nope.

That difference in power will not matter because it's not as big as people make it out to be. Besides, Respawn explained really well how Microsoft's cloud is a huge benefit, not only to computing power, but also to development of games.

The page cannot be found Whoops, sorry. We dont know what youre looking for, but were pretty sure this isnt it. Try clicking the link below and starting over at our homepage. You can search there too.

Obviously not up yet. But they are changing something. Makes the rumor INFINITELY more credible.

The link on the page you linked to doesn't work for me.

Depending on what they change, this will be a good day for gaming. Such draconian policies would only have been determental if they took hold, and if they get rid of them completly, then the Xbox one just rose a hell of a lot in my mind.

There's an updated policy as of today, but that page won't load. So, still a rumour as what they changed might not reflect what Giant Bomb is reporting, we'll find out soon enough.

Article isn't up yet. But this confirms things are changing, and for it to happen just as the other rumor is coming out makes that rumor more or less certain.

The official update was still weak. The console is still pretty restrictive and binding you to an online connection. Used games and trading games are still very unclear. 

Still $100 more for worse hardware and a whole mess of legal confusion.

[QUOTE="NEWMAHAY"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] "Region locks have been dropped"blue_hazy_basic
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.

Sorry, my bad :P

not a problem. I guess it seems more official now (new blog updates).

 

I am so happy that the consumers have some say in the industry

That's not the update. It still leads nowhere, the other stuff is old information. Rumor is online is not required, used games, trading etc. is possible as it is now.
