What a fucking mess, Sony the table is served!! Or what a great time for the steambox to come out of nowhere!!
A good VPN is more like $60 a year at least (I use them a lot). Why not save the money and problem by NOT BUYING A XBONE in the first place.

Wow. I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Regardless, personal attacks are uncalled for.

This is the most amazing ongoing trainwreck I've ever seen in console gaming. Every day it just keeps on wrecking. It's like watching Code Geass.

Well that just sucks. Microsoft is digging their own grave.. soon they'll make it to the center of the Earth.

Well I would be very surprised if that happened but I guess everything is indeed possible. Until that happens let's speak what is the most likely scenario.
Let's not get into politics but you know what the difference is? It matters as a whole how other people are off in a country. You can't just think of yourself because you're living in a community.
Now we're talking video games. I couldn't give a shit even if tried if a product that I supported got succesful and those questionable policies carried on. As long as they don't affect me I just can't and won't care.
Phew.
Interesting...
How deep can the rabbit hole go?
Of course you can sell the physical hardware. Can it be activated on another account though?

1 billion people in India can't play Xbox One? I know most people there are poor, but it has enough richer gamers that buy games on Xbox Live for 360.

Well, that's one perspective to bring to discussions.
Blablabla. "I don't care", "i'm a privileged man" and all of this stuff really scare me.
Don't you understand even the console is becoming a service?
You don't own it anymore. It's another restriction for the consumer... What you gain? Nothing.
What you lose? The possibility to travel with your things. Why? Because a company says so. Why they do this? Because they don't want you to import. Why? Because you have to pay the price they have chosen for you and your nationality.
You owe them nothing.

In any case can someone ask the Twitter account about country locking? Would love to get an official "We don't have a clue either" response.

Well, that's a quick turnaround, or he's saying "Sure, you could sell it, what happens to the other guy, who knows?"

i am from Argentina, so no xbone for me

They'll sell. They obviously are looking at a long game here. I wouldn't be surprised if they said "We're going to get the shit kick out of us for the first few years, but after the dust settles, we'll be ahead of the game."

Is the Xbone 'officially' region locked? because if not, this is some de facto bullshit.

Well apparently nothing affects you so why would you care?

Don't worry, money makes up for any kind of bad feeling.
Come on now. I'm a human being with feelings. I don't sell consoles though so they could restrict it as much as they wanted and I couldn't bother to care so you're right with that.

This is bad news for me. Oh well. Microsoft wants to get rid of me as a customer, then so be it.

You're part of a global community. Supporting Xbox One's horrific policies and potentially making it a success fucks others in the global community by allowing such practices to gain a foothold and potentially continue in the future.
It's fine if you want to be selfish (we're all selfish in our own ways), but you can't claim you're on your own little island with this.

Surely bots or marketing agencies are voting, because if you look at it, it's the most Xbone country out there... it's like, trying to tip the scale.
Or, like someone else mentioned, some gaming forum having fun.

China and the US is a bad example as that one wouldn't be so surprising. I'm more dreading the probability of someone from Belgium not being able to buy games he bought 5 km across the border in the Netherlands due to IP blocking or whatever other thing they might think of. Not the "traditional" PAL, NTSC divide.
Yo, no launch XBone at 8-4 Play office, right?

I don't see many people insulting them, a lot of them actually feel sorry for them. As it stands however, it's their job to answer these questions regardless of whether they are currently equipped to do so and it's the only direct channel people outside the press have as no journalist afaik has asked an exec yet.
