limpid Posted June 19, 2013 Administrator Share Posted June 19, 2013 I stopped reading after "sources indicate". ITK rubbish. For something this big, why wouldn't MS just come out and say it, why would they let it leak? It's the usual ITK fodder though. It's quite likely to happen so the ITKs are backing the rumour.

nobler Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Giant Bomb have gone with this news too and their site has exploded. Very interesting if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted June 19, 2013 Administrator Share Posted June 19, 2013 I can't think of any reason they'd get on the ITK thing. (ahem ad revenue). It might be true, but they are just repeating gossip made up by someone who is having a right laugh. If there was really going to be an announcement, this will probably delay it. What I don't get though, is that DRM is clearly MS's intention. They'll bring it in by the backdoor if they want it to happen. They'll offer deals to the developers to only allow 2nd hand sales using the MS system in return for some reduction in MS's percentage of the sale. That way they push the wrath of the masses onto the developers. As I said, they have previous for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm fairly familiar with Klepek's work, and I'm not sure he would publish something without a genuine belief there is something in it. Giant Bomb has never been the sort of site which goes for link bait too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 19, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Last week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future. Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One. You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.We appreciate your passion, support and willingness to challenge the assumptions of digital licensing and connectivity. While we believe that the majority of people will play games online and access the cloud for both games and entertainment, we will give consumers the choice of both physical and digital content. We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds.Thank you again for your candid feedback. Our team remains committed to listening, taking feedback and delivering a great product for you later this yea Edited June 19, 2013 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 So MS have backtracked.

PieFacE Posted June 19, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2013 This really makes things difficult for me now. Part of me thinks the damage is already done, because so many people will have ordered a PS4 and there will just generally be more people on playstation. But... I do quite want an xbox. I'm confused again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused again now. This. I'm gonna hold off for a year either way and see what thoughts are in 18 months time. Didn't expect Xbox to make the changes they did though, good for them.
