I know all of you can't actually be pirates like that.Conventional wisdom says well what is xbox live goes down... But the fact is that with 300k servers what are the odds. Its not likely that they will get hacked and be down for a month like ps3 was. So I don't get the gripes outside of piracy.
Why is everyone so against DRM?

What happens when the servers get shut down though?
Go and try find a game on HALO 1. You can't. The XB servers are shut down, at least you can still play campaign though.
BUT, what happens If they do that with the XBOX One? You're screwed. You wont be able to play ANYTHING.
I bought a DVD awhile ago that allowed me to download a Digital copy of the movie through WMP, I couldn't. You know why? The servers were shut down because the movie was 6 years old. Microsoft are known for this and they will do this again, IF YOU LET THEM.
The servers won't be up forever and you're stupid If you think they will be... they'll release the game for their next console and make you purchase the game again for that particular console.

I like the option to sell my games when I'm done with them. Most games don't have much replay value for me so when I finish them I trade them in to knock the price down on other games/electronics.
300,000 servers. If they are hurting and need to shut them down then they are doing something right. 300,000 servers is unprecedented. So I can understand why we are all confused and comparing it do a dvd which didn't have anywhere near that.
Oh. I mean I guess. Used games are great but ehhh. But I don't plan on buying any used games. Though I always do though. I don't like gamestop making soooo much middle man money while cheating consumers.

I don't buy used games, I haven't done it since my minimum wage high school days and I don't go through gamestop to do trades.
99% of the time I buy from Amazon new and when I'm done with them I sell them. I like that I'm able to do it so console that supports that I would have roled with first.

Can someone reiterate what the fukk this guy is trying to say?
He is just rabbiting some shyt about 300k dedicated servers that X-Box fanbois love to bang on about (even though Sony had dedicated servers for many many games years ago).
If they plan to shut the servers down, it's easy to send out one last instruction to unlock the game. Whenever support for Xbox One is over I'm sure they will unlock the consoles for indefinite use.
How many though? Cause if ps4 has a third of that its an easy decision for me.
Select games have dedicated servers, but most don't. Sony hasn't really addressed any upgrades to PSN so it's safe to assume it will be the same as last gen.
Xbox One will support this scenario.
