Don't care, I like being the owner of a game I purchased, so PS4 for me.
I don't want to have to ask Papa Microsoft for permission to play a game I spent money on. If I own a disc, I should be able to play that game. The fact that discs on the Xbox One mean diddly squat really irritates me. And I still don't even understand the 24-hour check in. Does Papa Microsoft need to make sure you're not off pirating games or something? Sheesh.

I feel that the way it should work is if you have the disc you can play it offline. If it's a digital copy and it hasn't been "checked" in 24 hours then you can't play it offline. Not perfect but a step in the right direction.

That would be so much more acceptable, I still probably wouldn't get an Xbox One, but that would just be my personal tastes at play rather than there being an actual issue with their policy or way they're running things.

You're never the owner of the game, just the licence to play the game, even when you have a disk.

ts kinda like a car you can have it but it aain't shit if you don't have the proper licenses and insurance maybe you should get rid of your car too and just take the bus everywhere

Bull--blam!-ing-[i][b][u]SHIT[/u][/b][/i]....my god, what utter nonsense, that has got to be the single [i]dumbest[/i] thing I have seen all day. The minute you guy something in the store, that object, whether it be a book, board-game, toy, table, chair, or video game, it is yours to do with however you please. Whether that be inviting friends over to play your newest, hottest game with you and have a grand old time, or a new end-table that you decide you want to paint a picture on the surface of. Video games are not magically different from every other object produced by companies, they are no different than everything else. The same rules apply to them as to everything else. The [i]only[/i] thing you can't do is making copies and then selling them yourself....anything else is fair game. You want to buy a game simply to destroy it? You go ahead and do that. You want to buy a game so you can give it as a gift to someone else? You go ahead and do that. Want a new game for yourself and then later on decide you don't like it and then decide to sell it to make some money? You go ahead and do that. Or, your friend has the game you really want, and you have one that he really wants, but neither of you like the one you have so you decide to swap the games? You go ahead and do that. There is no difference between video games and any other object when it comes to the customer.

That doesn't take away from what I said. in Legal terms, the disk is nothing more than a licence to play the game, you can do what you want with that licence, but the game itself belonged to the publisher. Digital downloads just means that you're not buying a physical licence, but a digital one. All you ever owned was a disk, the contents of that disk, belong to the developer.

I believe the idea is Microsoft is making a move to a digital platform. Sony will soon be behind and will only have any ground because of that cheap lie they dropped during their conference. First party games won't require DRM, (as it's always been) but developers can chose to have it.

Edited by MR DEATHBOT: 6/14/2013 5:36:22 PMHow do you not understand the 24 hour check in? Yes, it's to check your licenses to see if you've sold, or given a game away to your friend. The whole 24 hour check in wouldn't be necessary if they weren't trying retain [i]some[/i] freedom for people. If it really pisses you off that much they can always remove it. Then you can't give your friends games and you can't trade games into stores, how about that? Would you rather the 24 hour check in, or just have them make all sales final.

Not only that. They would just end the whole Digital games thing that they are trying so hard to make work. The only way to be free of DRM is if MS got rid of discs all together. If there was no DRM one copy of the game could be used on countless offline consoles. People say MS is shooting themselves in the foot with DRM. Reality is if they removed DRM they'd be shooting themselves in the head.
