Microsoft Reputation Manager's Guide To Xbox One

Posted by timothy on from the good-question-glad-you-asked-that dept.

symbolset writes "In the wake of a disastrous E3 product reveal Microsoft has purportedly distributed a confidential internal 100-point 'FAQ' for the Xbox One that reads like it's from the Ministry of Truth. It was of course immediately leaked on pastebin. Kotaku has the story and an amusing online poll. In the discussion below make sure to line up the FAQ entries with the AC comments for extra 'Informative' moderation."

    101. Since I would have to pay 500$ for it, will I be able to run my own software on the Xbox One?

    I still won't buy a PS4. Microsoft may have screwed themselves over, but Sony can't be trusted. As I said above, play games on a PC, in Linux ideally.

    Amazon put up a poll for XBOX ONE versus PLAYSTATION 4 and they quickly canceled the poll, because with about 45,000 votes, 95% of them were for the PS4. It was a slaughter.

    Running Steam isn't much of a hassle now. It used to be a bit of a resource hog, but not any more - it's currently using 74MB of RAM. Whoopdie shit. Other than an OCD obsession from the 90s about not having any background apps left open, it doesn't make any significant difference.

    Most games on Steam don't have additional DRM, and I don't buy those that do.

    And if you don't like Steam, go with GOG.com games. All of 'em are DRM free.
