Well, it was good that people got onto them about it. They need to know
what's good and what's not good. Like a child being taught. MS is a child.

Comes with the job I guess, I mean look at the shining, apparently the actress in the film playing the wife had alot more lines, however they were cut due to the directors disappointment with her delivery.

So i guess you just have to accept it, but I guess it would suck

To be perfectly honest, I feel bad for their employees who were working on all the technologies that were just scrapped. Who knows how long they were working on it and now it was all for nothing.

Nope

Now DRM 180 is a win for consumer but that doesn't change the fact that it's a inferior system and doesn't have any games I want to play.

Also, given recent years of MS pushing casual, casual, casual and non-gaming *bleep* at E3 this is all just way to lure the first batch of actual gamers in so they can start marketing it like a tv box again.

Honestly, if they really hate it that much, all they have to do is not buy it.

well yes, but they just spent E3 praising what they were doing only to make a u-turn Kinda funny in my eyes.

Edit good tweet i found

@JeremyJahns: "Apparently, addressing #BOXone issues after you defended it throughout the biggest game expo of the year is the smart approach. #XBoxDone"
