Going back to news that is somewhat more legitimate, but no less comedy gold. - Microsoft isn't backing down on the DRM - if anything they'll try to brainwash people into seeing benefits to it... not unlike Stockholm Syndrome, come to think of it. - Games are digitally locked until launch day, so leaked games will be completely unplayable until then... this is, like, one of two benefits I've seen coming out of the Xbone so far. And you probably still could've done it without a DRMbox anyway. EDIT: Though I wonder if the same will happen to review copies? - They think Sony isn't a threat. Quick reminder, last time they said that, Sony gave them an absolutely fucking legendary beatdown at E3. And that was last week. They also think they're fucking clairvoyants or something, because they're saying the PS4 will be less optimized and run hotter than the Xbone - which is ironic, because their own console was reported to have been rushed so badly a while ago that they had to underclock it. - Microsoft has finally realized that Don Mattrick is a flaming fucking idiot and is looking to shut him up. Funny that, ever since Adam Orth got fired Don's been pulling the exact same shit he was given the sack for. - The Xbone has already been revealed to be completely unplayable to deployed military personnel, but they think this won't be a problem because the PS3 and 4 "can't connect to DoD networks". Considering both of those consoles are playable without any internet connection, the point has flown so far over Microsoft's heads that it's probably pierced Jupiter by now.

Well gee, we all remember what happened the last time the military wasn't pleased with Microsoft's console: |

So... Microsoft's console is a rushed piece of garbage that they had to underclock just to get it to not melt down, couldn't even use actual XBoned devkits during E3 (and got their asses handed to them by Sony), think that the PS4 can't stomp their multimedia box into the dirt, think that gamers will learn to love their BS, and think that the military is going to switch to their console even though it has hideously restrictive limitations? Are these guys on cocanium or something? 'Cause they have to be on something to perform like a company out of Dilbert. |

Review copies will probably be slightly different than retail releases, signed differently in order to allow access. And yeah, MS is linking this console totally to online capabilities. Which has been the strong spot for the 360, in their defense. It's also called eviscerating yourself with your own fucking shield. |

Their strong spot? That was their strong spot? It's just as capable as the PS3's is, except at the cost of money. Or whatever chat feature the PS3 was missing. |

It would be a sign if it wasn't still available on their site. But that could be a possibility of the stock per store quota they have. Especially since we already know that M$ is going with a "lower unit count so it looks like we sold out" approach. |

Arcana's got a point, though it's still plausible that certain district managers may have opted not to stock the console that is attempting to put them out of business. Either way, it's a sign; the former being Microsoft taking a very stupid business decision and making it a reality and the latter being stores completely bypassing their console. |

As far as I'm aware, Xbox users had less lag and better server availability (and didn't get hacked as hard) in this generation. Also I wasn't aware that gamestop District Managers had the authority to limit such numbers...I'm going with Arcana that they just ran out at the stores of the "Guaranteed" consoles. I don't think they wanna take money and then not have the consoles.... Ok Gamestop TOTALLY wants to take your money. |

That's like saying PC servers get less lag and have better availability; it's because a large majority of the 360's games are online based and third party developers obviously dedicated more resources to the console because it was selling them more games. Also, 360 users have been prone to hacking on multiple occasions, as opposed to the PS3's one time (though it was big and comprehensive). |

I think it was one of those things that snowballed (the reputation for lag and availability) and I'm aware of the FIFA hacks and the retarded "OH hey we'll reveal your account email address" thing, but they weren't as big a black eye as PSN to me.

That was made possible by the server checks.... The only thing of "value" that was lost was no longer needing the disks, but I'll take no checks over that. |
