Looks like I'll be getting an Xbox One now
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.

OP, we share the same thoughts. Although I also would have enjoyed the benefits the DRM policies would had offered, I am glad to see them removed. As I buy most of my games on demand already, I shall have no problems using the console to it's full potential (the only games I can see myself buying a physical edition are games I pre-order, such as [i]Destiny Limited Edition[/i] or [i]Halo 5 Limited Edition[/i].) I believe one of the comments below me said something along the lines of "Xbox One is a more expensive version of the PS4, but with worse hardware." ... Well, Playstation 3 had better hardware than the Xbox 360, and that didn't stop it from being superior. I digress, but new, exclusives titles like [i]Ryse: Son of Rome[/i] and [i]Titanfall[/i] interest me more than [i]Knack[/i] and [i]The Order: 1886.[/i] But this is the opinion of an anonymous Internet user, and is viewed with harsh criticism. What could I know but only what I feel is more beneficial for myself?
