The two biggest complaints about the new upcoming Xbox One have been dropped. No more always Internet, and game sharing is available. Take a look. 👇👇👇

HOLY FK THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!

No, not really, I still prefer the Playstation... Smaller controller fits my slender fingers better :P

It's from a blog, I need a reliable source (such as the company actually saying this on their website) in order to believe it.

It's cool that they changed their mind and all, but the fact that Microsoft is dumb enough to even try pulling that crap on its customers? I'm still converting to PS4.

So, Microsoft will now let you play games without the internet. Genius!

PS4 FTW.

I don't see why we thank Sony for not putting DRM on its console. This is something they should already be doing anyways. (Not putting DRM).

Bahaha. Bill got out of that sham while he could. Don is who you should be pointing fingers at.

They could have easily opted to place restrictions. They listened to the public and chose not to, and generally I tend to thank people who take on board what I say. They were under no obligation to drop DRM. How MS ever thought it was a good idea to begin with is purely mind boggling.

The Xbox will still be terrible! Yeah!

Actually, I hate to say it, but there WAS a benefit to the DRM... You could bring your entire game library and sign into your account on a friend's Xbox one to play your games via download.

This is entirely possible without the restrictions.

Or, carry a cd booklet with your games inside of it, if you are going to a friends house to game.
All of your games, zero download time.

I now have both xboxes and all 3 playstations and always preferred the xbox, so probably will buy the xbox one now they dropped those ridiculous rules.
