I guess that's one way to view it. never saw it that way. I mean now, i'll be buying a glorified xbox360. just like sony buyers will be playing a glorified ps3.

and rape is a harsh word. amazon showed xbox one outselling ps4, before they changed their drm. so it was probably closer than the media/fanboys made it out to be.

I don't think it's that cut and dry. I've actually read a lot of arguments by industry critics in favor of the old policies and they do make sense once you think about it. For example: http://gizmodo.com/the-xbox-one-just...ault-514411905

I think the main problem is Microsoft's trying to generate a massive change in the way people buy games, and ironically enough, the video game community is a VERY conservative community. While everyone wants the latest and greatest thing, they really don't want major changes.

Personally I'm happy they removed some of those policies because I know they wouldn't make sense for a lot of people (including me at times), but I don't think it was Microsoft being completely evil.

to get back on topic, I hope I can download this game, through the console...

[Overflow]

I don't know if you can do that with the new games.. But I'm interested in finding out.

[FenwickHockey65]

It depends. They're really stressing downloading rather than picking up a disc so it's definitely possible.

[Overflow]

Honestly I think I'd much rather have it on a disc. Plus I plan on ordering the Day One Edition.

[FenwickHockey65]

Same. I don't really mind downloading games I won't really care about (IE Halo 3 in July) but I'd rather have a physical disc for other games.

would be easy to download a day one edition. and for me, the less disks, the better. lol

I don't know why Microsoft isn't offering packages such as an Xbox One with Halo 5 or Forza.

[PoorMansCamaro]

forza pre-ordered!!!

[Overflow]

Sweet!! Hopefully I'll pre-order mine too soon. Pretty pumped about this game.

Jason, isn't this the first time you've played Xbox in a while?

yeah, haven't played in 2 years. and I've never played forza. lol

You'll really like it. Forza 4 was a great game. I'm pretty sure Turn 10 just made Horizon to buy them more time to work on Forza 5.

You're going to love it. Forza is the best racing game I have ever played.
