I guess, but IMO that is minor as hell compared to the DRM issues, and online check ups.

A family.member of mine works at MS, specifically for the Xbox. These policies are their future, we had a very long discussion about it. I wouldn't trust these changes to stay permanent. But it's great the gaming community lashed out as they did and made a difference at least for the short term.

yea of course but they're not gonna change the hardware so close to the end of the cycle, they cant afford to give sony more of a head start by delaying it. & just cuz they're overriding all the DRM for now, i highly doubt it wont still be in the console itself waiting to get rolled out eventually.

@ 2-0-sixx^^ Hopefully he can let you know if there are any inside leadership changes coming along. The way they handled the PR, and how they didn't care that people from the military wouldn't be able to access it pissed off alot of people including myself. They need to get rid of anyone from that tool Major Nelson and even Spencer. They showed their true colors fuckin queers.
yeah those policies won't last very long you don't say this type of shit and then really expect em to completely switch their polices it will be pure comedy when they switch back in like a year

Same thing for can be said for Sony. It's all up to the publishers with how they wanna restrict their games.

Yes we spoke about that and she felt a couple people will be fired, just like Steven Sinofsky was fired after the release of Windows 8.
Apparently there was a ton of research and all of the advice through the research teams was not to state these policies and there would be a big backlash. But, predictably the higher ups ignored the warnings because of arrogance and the rest is history.

Yes, exactly. Basically MS fucked up by releasing all this information now instead of either gradually integrating them over time, or just not saying shit until after launch.
The other problem was the mass confusion at MS. Only certain people know specific things thus all the various leaks and contradictions between MS employees on twitter and in interviews. In fact, most MS employees involved with the xbone learned a lot of this shit from the xbox reveal and E3. Only the very higher ups knew all of the details and plans.

It's possible but it would be smart for them to remain the "anti Microsoft" for as long as possible.
Eventually everything will be digital though, there is no way around that. Maybe not entirely for this generation of consoles but soon after everything will be digital, that's the direction of the industry.
