Ik you guys are all getting tired of this Sony Vs MS bullshit. Just thought you guys would be interested in this & that its rumored ms tends to implement it via patches eventually for digital content only.

So yeah, it does suck we might not see this feature at launch.

Thanks for clearing that up. Still, I think this should've been posted in one of the other numerous Xbox1 vs. PS4 threads.

Half of the things people said about Xbox one where false.
My guess was to pull everyone's leg including sony's. Seeing how Sony switched to a paid service as well.

I really liked the Idea when I first heard it, then I started doubting Microsoft when I heard it was for 1 hour only. Now, I'm sad to see its not going to be available for some time

I didn't watch it, but I heard Sony really fucked up at E3:
Bugged game froze & crashed
Spent a lot of time on their anti-drm campaign and decided they wouldn't enforce game-pass

Then suddenly Microsoft drops their DRM, sort of making PS4's decisions less meaningful as the competition isn't there to compete with anymore (in terms of game-passes etc)

It sounds almost as if it were a sophisticated plan if only it didn't give MS such bad PR and reputation. I don't think it was planned, and I don't think it was easy to remove DRM though. There are probably MS engineers working overtime because of that decision.

Not saying it's fake, but who is the guy stating it's false?
PC is still my preferred choice.

Well it shows you that MS is some what contaminated to doing.

Regardless xbox has already lost a shit load of money due to pre orders for the ps4.

True, but I wonder how the faces of people will be when they see that the PS4 isn't expect what they thought it was.

Corporate Vice President, Xbox - That is his title on twitter.

The sheer lack of appreciation for the cloud is unfortunate, there is a lot of power behind it.


Also a cool fact: MS's Xbox One runs two operating systems, both are ran inside of a container:

Sorry, I'm just not in the mood for lengthy reading.
Would you mind summing it up for me a bit?

Okie dokie that's 2 xbox threads for today. Let's go for the three.

TBH I am more into software engineering than I am into server architect, but I can try.

Basically, the Xbox One runs two different operating systems inside of another which acts as a container for both of them to co-exist on the same system. Sorta of like running two guest OSs on one Virtual Machine (like VMWare). It isn't as bad as it sounds in terms of performance overhead though due to a type 1 hyper-v technology they're utilizing (that means no virtualization of hardware components) that is tailored for the XBox One hardware in particular.

The two kernels can be placed into a suspended state freeing up system resources - and then instantly resumed. One of the OSs is developed just for low-level hardware access and optimal game performance, the other is designed for more abstraction for software app development (i.e, for skype). The third is the container for the two that manages their resources.

This is what allows you to go from browsing the web to playing a matched game in a matter of seconds. Because the second OS is suspended and the one meant to play your games is resumed.
