Also, will they backpedal on used game fee as well or just DRM?
Well there never was a used game fee.

lol wow.Fallon mentioned that the PS4 would support used games and no internet checks while the Xbox wouldn't.
I'm guessing the "Unlimited power of the cloud" was mostly bullshit then?
An Internet connection is only required when initially setting up the console
Dude, just shut up and enjoy this good news with us.
It would be the biggest u-turn the industry has ever seen, if true.
I would respect Microsoft for doing it. It would be humiliating, they'd be seen as a follower and not as an industry leader, but its the only thing I can see them doing that would allow them to escape the black hole of negative PR they are currently trapped in.
Not at launch, but perhaps down the road. If this is true, I'll go from never buying it, to being on my radar when it has enough games.If true, anyone going to just pickup a XBONE?
mmmh....
- No more always online requirement
- The console no longer has to check in every 24 hours
- All game discs will work on Xbox One as they do on Xbox 360
[*]An Internet connection is only required when initially setting up the console- All downloaded games will function the same when online or offline
- No additional restrictions on trading games or loaning discs
- Region locks have been dropped
Well that looks good. I guess we can also hope they drop the price to $400?
Well, wouldn't it be more like "what if a dude who's been circling my block in his car for a few years decides to finally hit me... like he's planned to for years?"
It's not like lack of DRM was the only thing Sony had going for them.
If true, anyone going to just pickup a XBONE?
It's trade off
Im expecting something with it...possibly a 2014 launch instead
I just dont see how they can make the rest of the features work without the drm
I will be, but will be waiting a year, most likely two so I can be sure they don't try to pull a fast one and re-implement them
WE FUCKING DID IT!
Because...games.PC gamer here, console GAF, even if MS drops their DRM policies, the XBone still has weaker hardware and is more expensive than the PS4. Why choose to buy it??
EA must be pissed.
They have MS titanfall some exclusive Fifa shit because of the promise of DRM. If they backtrack they will be sending some angry emails.
No way they do ALL of those things. I would have believed it if it was a subset of those items.
All of them? No.
It's not like lack of DRM was the only thing Sony had going for them.
Still a cheaper and better console.So much for Sony's advantage.
What happened on Fallon?
