That is a rather dubious distinction... and it is at the root of the confusion over the legal difference between physical and digital "ownership".

When you buy a disc you do, technically, own the physical media itself... but the ownership rights over the data on that disc is limited in (pretty much) exactly the same…

Consumer rights is a fun buzzword, isn't it?

the notion that a physical disk is any different than a download is a flawed one. It's the exact same content...just a bunch of 1's and 0's. Guess what, when you install a game on your hard drive, where does it go?...It sits on a DISK.

Why? The console sits there, with almost no interaction. If they had not flip-flopped on the DRM, you literally would only need to touch the thing when you bought a new game, so you could load it on the HDD. The idea that the box needs to be stylish is just stupid - it needs to fit in an AV cabinet, hold all the…

YOUR NAME IS TOBY!

Freakin' waste of time watching this.

Being "color blind" is about as bad as seeing race in everything. That's why this country is messed up the way it is today. People are too afraid to talk about race when it's necessary or they don't want to avoid talking about it when it's not (see Zimmerman trial).

The majority of white people calling in to philly radio 97.5 the fanatic are pretty sickening. "it's just a word. black people say honky".

This is the real problem with the video game industry and internet/videogame culture as a whole. It's all a bunch of manchildren (myself included at times, I will freely admit). Any time someone disagrees, it creates this ridiculous behavior of becoming children. Children. Because an adult would deal with their…

What did they try to do? Realize that in a few years everything would be digital and try to give you an avenue to still be able to trade/lend/sell your games?

"We released fantastic games, and, most importantly, we expanded Xbox to go beyond great gaming to deliver all the entertainment people want — sports, music, movies, live television and much more."

Not to get racial, but a lot of these execs are coming from homes where drinking is normalised and then they go to college and enter mostly white frats and drink a bunch. I don't want to say that white people are all alcoholics, but it does seem like something that activists in the white community might want to focus…

I see you guys are getting along just fine in here! Agree on all points about the feature set growing being a huge deal. And it's not zero-sum; you'll see plenty of great games from Microsoft, just like you will from Sony and both of their partners.

Except, white people don't really have their own culture. Hence the fact that they keep appropriating other race's cultures as their own.

DRM doesn't equal no used games. DRM means Digital Rights Management. In definition it means that you are using digital software that you have a license for that is usually not transferable and an internet connection is used to keep track of that license. Microsoft's DRM policy for the XBOX One is a hybrid for what…

I'd love to see a real and honest discussion of DRM here.
