I know all about that stuff. I also work in the game industry. I also know that technology was both A. available, and B. affordable back when Windows Live was implemented - by, oh wait a minute, Microsoft, a company that even then had plenty of money to be able to do all of that with.

The problem is their obsession…

You know that you cannot play any of those games you buy on the shared console on your console offline right? They only allow a license transfer once every 6 months....Try it out none of them will work offline

Exactly my thoughts. It should have been an apology:

Yeah - though I'm right there with you, this is less "Hooray, Microsoft is the best!" and more "Hooray, Microsoft is finally going to stop fucking up this super basic thing!"

Yea, GFWL can go and burn in hell, for all I care.

Serious question: Why celebrate a "feature" that isn't a feature, and should have been implemented before release of said product from day 1?

Sure, be happy that something so basic is finally available for use. Fine. But at the same time, shouldn't we be more concerned that it took this long "to do" (when really we…

But then how would the manage to sell you their confirmed 360 headset adapter??? They know people with turtle beach headsets or Trittons will want to continue using them, which is why they will happily sell you the confirmed 360 headset adapter which is probably $50 bucks.....I just love MS and their Free-to-Pay scheme

it is. but it's really shocking some of the things you say. i feel compelled to let you know it...

yes, windows makes. you wouldn't believe the amount of gamers that wanted to game on another OS but CAN'T.
that PC will lose in performance to consoles in a very short time.. consoles will be around for 10 years or so,…

not because you have a different opinion at all but rather because you say this:

it actually is a big deal to most people. 99% of the reasons console gamers didn't record their gaming is because of money. which is 99% of the reasons people get consoles instead of PCs to game. both Sony and MS said they had statistics that pointed that one of the most demanded features on console is recording…

Or you could have just designed your controller with a non-proprietary plug so I could use the earbuds with built-in Mic that I already own.

LOOK BABY! NO MORE DRM! SEE BABY I HAVE CHANGED! AND LOOK, A MIC! PLEASE COME BACK...PLEASE...I NEEEEEEEEED YOU!

"I DIDN'T MEAN TO HIT YOU, BABY. I'LL CHANGE. FOR YOU! WE CAN BE HAPPY!"

I don't know if it's them listening to customers more than just seeing what they can get away with. It's not until Sony does the whole "You know that thing Microsoft is doing that you hate? Yeah, we're not doing that!" and then Microsoft has to turn around and go "No wait comeback....please? We've changed, for real…

Or their wallets

they are the differences between the consoles and it was copy pasted from other comments..

sorry just recycling here xD

i get it, it's not a big deal at all TO YOU.
but it is a big deal to a lot of people, most even i dare estimate.

I'll give Microsoft this much. They've done almost EVERYTHING wrong with announcing the system but they've been really good about listening to consumers.

Fuck this, their messaging was really confusing and non-coordinated and now it gets worse. Feeding small little features and changes and then changed back and in out up down headset drm fuuucckkkk is going on?!

1st of all you can set PS4 to record as much as your HDD can handle. the 15 minutes are just the automatic recording.

Someone at Sony must just sit around waiting for Microsoft to reveal information, just so that they can jump in and Falcon Punch them...
