Xbox a New Generation Discussion
Randomness:
The Xbox One with its extreme anti-piracy status is going to completely backfire.
Always-online statuses and this extreme block against used games is going to not only kill GameFly and other services, but give reason a people to pirate in the first place.
Note: I don't condone piracy, but that's just how it works. People hack their consoles to get around certain things in the first place. The 3DS? Noone wants that region lock. The Wii? Same reason: region lock.
The Xbox One? Not JUST a region lock, but now people will hack it to play used games!
Dracpot:
don't buy the xbox one
don't support the constant monitoring of your living room

kinda a coincidence since facebook just bought out some company that made a bunch of fancy face recognition software.
an xbox watching you is far less creepy.

and bisjac thinks up some random conspiracy theory about yet another thing.
