Or if it wasn't for MS testing the waters, Sony would've tried it themselves. They do after all have a DRM tech patent.

It wasn't sony that made MS reverse, it was ignorance and lazy consumers afraid of change. Sad that you exalt our next gen machines being kept in 2005.

@DeViLzzz

And sony could flip flop and decide to use the DRM patent they have.

They could flip flop and decide to include an eye if the kinect proves it's worth.

I find you drones so funny while you defend the company that thought rootkit was the right thing to do.

@sk8rjason

Did MS copy Sony, or did Sony make their system like the 360?

Going back to an old policy is not "copying" anything.

Only a child would scream copying and use it as something to cry about.

You're the last one to be calling someone a child.

@david1230

You really are starting to sound crazy. Did you know I wasn't set on an x1 until I started reading and came to my own conclusion? I've owned every xbox that came out and am a huge halo fan, but this time around I wasn't so sure because of all the bad things I heard. But I wasn't going to base my purchase off of the comments section or bad reporting.

And society isn't at fault for the social problems or stupid things kids do, it's the fault of bad parenting and broken homes. So please stop trying to tell me why I like something.I'm a 35 year old man with a good career, a wife and 2 kids. I've owned and operated a business for two years before closing it's doors. I've got enough experience in life to know what I want.

You don't like the x1, fine, all the more power to you. But don't give be this bull that I'm some kind of zombie.

@david1230

The pace of the whole industry happens pretty fast. Look how much time there has been since E3 and preorders. MS had to scramble and react to the reaction they were getting, It's doesn't make me distrust them, it makes me more confident in their ability to adjust on the fly and make the product they're selling me a success.

The same thing can be said of the PS4. There are a number of things that could brick it. It makes no sense to point that out. I have a working kinect that's survived the abuse of a 5 year old knocking it over and such. I'm not too concerned about the build quality of V2.

The US gov will spy on you with a number of devices. I'm a proponent of chaging the gov more than I am of letting something that "might" happen keep me from enjoying a product I like.

I can turn the camera off if I'm afraid of ads. MS has stated this and until you have proof, you're just stating opinion.

@zintarr

how exactly is MS bending me over? they are not forcing me to buy an x1, I'm doing it out of my own free will.

What I see is a bunch of drones apply a different standard to MS than they do other products they consume. I simply ask how they justify giving certain products more leeway than they do MS. But they can't because their whole reasoning and opinion is based in hate.

@Don_Mattrick

Is he suppossed to defend the PS4 on an article about the X1? I highly doubt you're that fair.

A lot of you are unreasonable and deserved to be bashed and called out. It's absurd to come to a x1 story, make fun of it, then cry because people are challenging you and calling names.

You make fun of MS for a policy you view as bad, then bash them when they change. It's very immature and shows how you don't understand business or how it's done. Business go under from making bad decisions and not reacting fast enough to consumer demand.

There is a reason MS is as big as it is. They make mistakes because they are run by humans.

They changed policies this gen and tested the waters. It didn't work for a variety of reasons. Dumb would be not to do what's necessary to recover from past blunders.

It's easy to throw rocks and make fun of them as you and most of the other drones have. It doesn't make you look smart, all it does is making you look like a person who's rational is clouded by fanboyism.

@b09h

Next time you buy a smart phone, tell them you don't want to pay for the data plan.

Or when you go to buy a car, tell them you want a reduced price because you'll be supplying your own tires.

You drones make it sound as if the X1 is the only product in existence you can't custom order.

I'm going to demand sony include the eye so I can use the ps4 functions as originally intended.

@b09h

Nice reach. The reversal of policies have nothing to do with what the system can do. It's not like they took the non-game related features out of the system.

@Oozyrat

I'm confused, why would you suggest getting a ps4 first if they don't have the games? What's the point of saving $100 if what your getting is not going to be as enjoyable as the more expensive system?

If nothing is going to interest you, then you're wasting $400 rather than saving $100
