And there's a bloody good chance that for some it will be the straw that broke the camels back in terms of cost. For new adopters to Xbox and Live it's another cost added to the already scary price of the console with Live and a game. £550 or thereabouts is a fucking mental price.Mod74 wrote:Not including a headset is silly, maybe. Deal breaking, no. Stingy, fuck yes.

Me too. As it stands, I can see me cancelling my PS4 pre-order at some point between now and the end of the year. If they can sort the shitty DRM out, I'll stay at base camp.

Me and my two bros could legitimately share a game between us, and as we are only all online at the same time to play together anyway, all just chip in for a copy.Olimite wrote:Me too.

Bojangles wrote:Probably a rare question right now given the costs but does anyone know how the DRM will work if you add a second X1? I'll probably be looking to add a second Box into the house for my boys within a couple of years. Will we be able to play co-op or mp across two different consoles using the same game licence or will I need to purchase a second one? I'll be surprised if anyone knows yet tbh. I doubt MS have explained that one yet.
I'm pretty sceptical about these systems now. They seemed to sort of work on the 360 early on when people were playing a spread of on-line MP. Once it settled into everyone playing a dozen or so huge titles, the needs of their matchmaking systems seemed to take over. Less successful games with smaller communities simply can't do anything but try and find you a full lobby.Bojangles wrote:Wasn't this meant to be implemented years ago on the 360? The five star reputation system and the gaming zones. It seems to have been phased out as Live had been updated through the years. It never worked anyway. This, if it works, will be a huge improvement.
