Xbox One

So Today it was officially announced my Microsoft that all the terrible things that the Xbox One was going to do are all fixed and put away. In case you have been under a rock for a few months I'll explain a bit. When the Xbox One was announced earlier it was to require an internet connection at least once every 24 hours to even play offline games, and it was unable to play rented or used games without you purchasing a code which was rumoured to be valued at full game price, which is crazy right? Well everyone and their dogs decided to complain to Microsoft about it and most very loudly announced that they would be buying PS4's this time around (including me). So apparently Microsoft does hear things and they do have a level of sense amongst their Top Men. Now the xbox doesn't need an internet connection aside from one during the first time you set it up, and game trading/buying will be as it is now. So effectively they are making it more like the 360 except with better graphics, more power, more available servers, more memory, more games, and you will be able to buy games through your Xbox One on their release date, which is great. So I will happily be returning to Xbox before leaving, which relieves a lot of stress because I was concerned about third party PS4 controllers in the Xbox style.
