With so many years of Xbox, you always know that when you come for games you will get the top quality you deserve. When you go back and look at original Xbox games, what were your favorites? Which would yo like to see make a comeback in the future.
Even though the X1 and the new systems MS have in place are quite frankly shit, the amount of fanboys trying to play the victim card or even worse, moral outrage (as if anything MS is doing is immoral or evil) are just laughable.

Yeah, this. The people who like it can buy it, the people who don't like it don't have to buy it. End of story. I think the fear is that if enough dumb consumers buy into it, its could effect other consumer products as well. Microsoft has already shown how profitable it is to remove full premium expansion packs and free map packs and replacing them with Microtransactions (disc locked even). This could get much worse with their new schemes. What you describe already happened before the involvement of us at Microsoft. Spreading misinformation is not right.
Our competitor released a game by a dev people overrate, so it gets high scores. Not realizing that this game does not know its own genre, ad there is next to no challenge or survival in this game.
[QUOTE="redskins26rocs"][QUOTE="Don-Mattrick"][QUOTE="darkspineslayer"] Superior? I would love to hear you make that case, William. Particularly for XBL as it compares to PSN today. Xbox Live offer more features, better servers, more dicounts, more software, more movies, more music, more apps. More discounts do we have different versions of Xbox Live because the only good deal in the past year I recall is the one they had on TWD, while PSN+ members get free games every month. As for your argument on movies and tv shows, I have looked at both occasionally and they seem to both have a huge library, not so sure about music. The apps argument is kind of pointless, because most of them are unnecessary and used by almost no one, and the ones that are actually good are found on PS3. Our competitor does not give you free games, XBL does, and better discounts. Games you downlod you keep forever. Also, we are having a temporary free games program till the launch of Xboxone, which you can also keep forever.
Well that was quick. According to @XboxSupport1 the original tweet was intended for the Xbox 360, not Xbox One. While this would not be the first time Xbox Support said something in error, it would also not be the first time they revealed something before it was ready. I personally hope this was a simple mistake, but that leaves a burning question in my mind. What about all the other tweets?
@Jeffrey_Jue There was some confusion here. That tweet was intended to refer to downloadable games on the Xbox 360 actually. ^AD
[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"][QUOTE="Don-Mattrick"]OH NO, people who pirated games they did not pay for or hacked for games they did not pay for DON'T GT THOSE GAMES!!! Why do people think thee guys deserve their games again? You can get banned for other reasons. Piracy? It's pretty hard to pirate on a always-online-no-used-games system... I see you have to work on your skills. You know the 360 was the one being discussed.
Well we've been discussing about prices and policies of consoles, games and services... most of the time it's obvious we're referring to rich countries (CA/US/EU/AUS/JPN) where consumers can afford to pay huge sums for their entertainment and hobbies.
But has been anyone curious about what's the situation in 3rd world countries? Places like latin America, Africa, Asia, India, Middle East, Russia(not sure if 3rd world)... etc I mean lately their economies started growing and emergin and many are predicting that in the near future middle class in those countries will be the majority but let's forget about that... this topic is not about economics.
What I wanted to ask is if anyone over here is from those regions, can he share some experiences he had when he tried to keep up with gaming? Or anyone else that knows anything about prices or policies on internet, consoles, games or anything that is related with gaming?
Feel free to post articles, statistics, graphs or just plain experience stories.
