So with the recent news regarding Microsoft reversing it's DRM policy, the one thing that had been keeping me from going for the One has been resolved: I can now play games offline without the need of the 24 hour check in. I know some people saw it as a non-issue, but for me it was just a matter of long-term planning. I don't want the possibility of my console becoming a brick when it is no longer supported and the 24 hour check in is no longer possible. Besides, the need of an Internet connection to play a game like Skyrim, just an example, seems odd to me.
That said I do feel sorry to dedicated MS supporters with the loss of some of the features like family sharing. Honestly, that sucks. However, I'm confident that MS will find a way to incorporate what they had to remove some day down the line.
See ya'll on Live.

People are now changing back because the Xbox is finally the exact same as the PS4! Except the PS4 has better hardware and is cheaper! People are insane, and for those of us who didn't mind the 24 hour check-in have now lost the ability to digitally, via the cloud scroll through our close friends game library's and also need to have the discs in the trays again to play them! I swear, I hope that all the kids that complained about the changes causing this flip-flop by MS have there discs stolen, broken or lost. Then lets hear them whine about what could have been!
