for the people that were raging bashing boycotting xbox one. to then probably switch sides after a few little touch ups by ms called a "mask" sigh. but as well it is only my opinion ppl can take it or leave it.

Withdraw from commercial or social relations with (a country, organization, or person) as a punishment or protest. that is boycott by definition !
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, and the XBox boycott was because people disagreed with what they were doing and wanted them to change. XBox then changed, so there was no reason for a boycott anymore. That was literally the entire point of the boycott. Why would you keep boycotting them if they stopped doing what the boycotters didn't like?
Comment has been collapsed.
true, but i said for the ppl that "were" i don't mean as they are doing it now. lol
Comment has been collapsed.
you missed the point. the people who were but aren't anymore were boycotting because of their drm and internet requirements. those requirements are now dropped, boycotters won, boycott is over. lol
boycott =/= an eternal ban on purchasing. generally its an attempt to force a change.
personally I'm holding out for the right to disable that eternally vigilant electronic eye...always watching...always listening, but thats just me.

Yeah, as others have said, when Microsoft changes many of the negative sides about the console, you have a legitimate reason to go and buy one. If MS had instead said something like, "Everyone who buys an XBox One will get free $100 in games," then they would be a "sell-out."

Some people will go with xbox no matter what. They would have bought it even with the stupid DRM and always online crap. The reason a lot of people stick to it is because there friends play on it. They all play certain games together. Even if they changed there policies on DRM and online access, they still have inferior Hardware, and a bigger price tag. PS4 is superior in everyway, if people don't see that they dont deserve to play on a Ps4.

ps4 is superior, but like i said in my video as well, that shout out to the "hardcore" "fans" that stuck it out threw thick and thin. i even gave them prop's because that is what a true fan is. no someone that hops on different bandwagons.
Comment has been collapsed.
never understood that "true fan" corporate/brand loyalty thing. if the company isn't loyal to me why should I be to them? if prices or products change I migrate to what caters to me best regardless of the logo. anything else is irrational and sheepish. (its like the people who vote politics by team and choose idiots because they wear the right color tie, and then support them to their dieing breath whatever they do(or who pick fights because their buddy likes the wrong soccer team)) its stupid to identify yourself so much by random artificial factions for no reason.
Comment has been collapsed.
you consider it "corporate loyalty" but "loyalty" it's self is way more then just a word to toss out there. if you're honestly loyal you do not be disloyal. loyalty is in your blood. or maybe i was just raised different but the fact of the matter is it's called "principals". which happened to Microsoft because of their greedy actions.
Comment has been collapsed.
....so you were bred for the purpose of buying sony, and therefore it is phony to not continue to blindly hate xbox after they caved to consumer demands and you should not buy the now acceptable product out of spite(they're the wrong team afterall)?
But you'd be happy if people who liked xbox decided to buy it anyway back when microsoft was actively screwing them(before and during the boycott) because they were being honest and true to their "fandom"? thats crazy. humans are loyal because the object of their loyalty is worthy, only dogs are loyal for no reason even if they get kicked for it.

they couldn't keep their word after e3 because they would have gotten dominated and maybe even bankrupt i understand it was a business decision by any means. but my rant was mostly to the bandwagon jumpers !

People just have to remember how Microsoft conducts itself. It took a stand to protect developers work from being pirated. EA is doing the same thing to fight piracy, but at the same time they're going so far that they're wanting to take things away from the everyday gamer, and people who just play single player content offline. They are a business, and every business is about making money. Piracy cuts into that bottomline. The players force them to such extremes by supporting Piracy. I don't agree with how EA or Microsoft attempts to treat there customers, but I can certainly understand where they are coming from.
"Bandwagon jumpers" that's pretty funny
Comment has been collapsed.
Hardly. A company listened to their customer feedback only after they tried to push a product customer feedback could have told them would not work.
Comment has been collapsed.
it's a so so, reasons were they could not stick to their word. but my rant goes more onto the bandwagon hoppers.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well when they were being threatened with such utter failure they would have to do something, they're a company, they're there to earn money.
As for the so called "bandwagon hoppers", I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with it either. They changed to PS because xbox made mistakes, those mistakes were fixed, what's wrong with them therefore changing back? The problems have been fixed, so there's no reason not to. However yes, I do agree that the PS still has several advantages over the xbox, particularly the price tag, but I guess if you were an xbox fan before, then brand loyalty applies.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not something they had to "Fix" they attempted to change the way everyone conducts business with games this generation. The response was overwhelmingly against it so they caved, and changed how they will conduct business. Customers won this time because they spoke with their wallets. BRAVO PEOPLE BRAVO!!!
If more people spoke with their wallet corporate share owned companies like EA/Microsoft will change to sell their product. They will always push to change it to how they want it run though ALWAYS.

How is SPENDING MONEY make you a sellout? Do you even know what a sellout is, or do you think it is just a fancy word you can use to express your pointless point? People wanted an xbox, but not its DRM policies. Now the DRM policies are gone, why wouldn't they buy an xbox one?
Comment has been collapsed.
as i stated in the topic, as well in others post such as the same of your's my rant is mostly towards the bandwagon jumpers.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, it is inferior compared to the PS4, and it still costs $100 more. I personally do not desire to purchase the game console, but people who wants its exclusives do. Inferior hardware is not a reason to not buy a console if you really want one. If it was, Nintendo wouldn't of won the console wars last time.

I don't trust them anyway, Windows 8 was a failure (and in my opinion still is), Xbox One presentations so far we're terrible (i mean they showcased the games on friggin PC's with Windows 7 for crying out loud) and Spyware 2.0 i mean Kinect 2.0, no thx i will stick to the PC, but if i ever think about buying a Console, it will be either PS4 or Wii-U
Comment has been collapsed.
LMAO that was funny specially when they had the error at e3 while someone was playing a demo and it crashed into a windows 7 WHY Didn't THEY USE WINDOWS 8 MS DOESN'T TRUST THEIR OWN PRODUCTS LMAOO !
Comment has been collapsed.
Most corporations upgrade their employees' computers fairly infrequently (i.e. every couple of years). Even though Microsoft owns Windows and thus can do OS upgrades at much lower expense, it still takes time and energy to do an upgrade, so it is perfectly understandable that the PR department would still be on Windows 7 instead of Windows 8.

Comment has been collapsed.
not if, you posted several videos of smack talking and saying how your going to ps4. sony all the way and what not. that would make that person a "hypocrite"
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, but if all your smack talk was based on policies that don't exist anymore, then you'd still be true to your ideals. The people smack-talking the Xbone were saying "I won't buy a console that requires a almost-always-on Internet connection or that won't let me lend games to my friends. The Xbone is a console just like that, so I won't buy it." Now that the Xbone does neither of those things, they have no reason to hate it. Those people will still refuse to buy any console that requires an almost-always-on connection or restricts game lending, so they aren't hypocrites.
Comment has been collapsed.
you make good points. but the only reason it was changed was due to "us" the "consumers" which wouldn't of happened unless the rage begun. also if ps4 pre order's didn't go threw the roof. But Now MS want's to pull a "band-aid" out in order to gain back some ppl and start making some sale's who's to say they don't switch the drm feature on after one year into it's release. + plus kinnect still is a requirement i for one do not want no spy cam watching me all the damn time.
Comment has been collapsed.
True, Microsoft could pull a reversal in a year and require the internet connection again and restrict game lending. But even if they did that (which I highly doubt given that it would be PR suicide), they wouldn't be able to apply the new rules retroactively; they legally couldn't force anyone who bought games or consoles before the policy change to agree to the new policies (and if they tried to force people, I can guarantee you that a class-action lawsuit would be filed).
And yeah, the Kinect concerns are still as active as ever, and I'm sure plenty of people will still opposed to the Xbone based on those. I think Microsoft has stated that it would be possible to disable all Kinect functionality in the options, plus you can just hide it in a drawer, so I'm personally not too worried about that, but I understand why other people would be. (Also, only the microphone will be active while the console is off, not the camera. plus, it will only be able to listen for the words "xbox on"; even if Microsoft wanted to abuse the microphone and record audio 24/7, it wouldn't be technologically possible because the hard drive and internet connection will both be powered off when the console is off, so there would be no way that it could store or upload recorded audio.)
But yeah I totally agree with you that there are still good reasons to be opposed to the Xbone even after this announcement. I was just saying that the people who do change their minds aren't necessarily hypocrites.

i understand good paragraph great use of words. + 2 for you oxguy3

Like how the PlayStation 3 removed Other OS? We all saw how well that class action lawsuit ended. Nobody got nothing. And guess what? You still lost Other OS.
Face it, if MS changes it 2 months down the road 6 months down the road there isn't a fucking thing anyone can do about it, because you've already bought their console.

Microsoft is listening to their customers. People talk, Microsoft listen and take the good way to solve the problem. The kinect doesn't watches you, it just wait for you to say "Xbox On", NOTHING ELSE. Do you unplug your kinect when you are not using or your just not using it because you fear that you might be recorded? Are you paranoiac?

Somehow I don't trust microsoft with that kind of power.

i don't own a kinect. + keep telling yourself that they won't watch u. or send your data to 3rd parties, LMAO why don't u think its a requirement! + that cam has so much advance technology. but hey it's only listening to "xbox on" LMAO

you never know the say the xbox one goes into a sleep mode and the internet is still connected ?
Comment has been collapsed.
If they do that, then the Xbone will have to continue to be active on your home LAN even when it's off. A very basic scan of one's home LAN while the Xbone is off would reveal this if such were the case. So if Microsoft does try to do that, people will be very quick to notice it.
Comment has been collapsed.
name your source for the video being on while the console is off
yes it will still be powered on, but as I explained, it won't be able to record anything because the hard drive won't be on (so it can't save recorded data) and the internet connection won't be on (so it can't upload the data). The only place it could record Kinect data to while the console is offline is the RAM, and the RAM gets wiped when the system turns on.

Any company has to listen to its consumers when 90% are saying they wont buy the next product from them.
