It's funny and sad how quickly they have forgotten about RROD. |

Sure they have been thinking about this for more than a year but now is the strategically best moment to make a move.
I also bet that they have some insiders and knew about Microsofts plans months in advance.
Now there are still 5 months left until the consoles come out and then a year of testing and refining their digital frameworks.
Even more time for Gaben - by 2015 the global multiplat digital market will be a completely different beast.

Valve couldn't implement something like this in a couple of weeks to save their lives, the way they work. Pretty sure MS had 0 influence. They have hinted before they want on Steam such features as even game reselling..
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."

Has there been anything concrete on how digital sharing/selling/trading will even work on the new Xbox anyway?

| Quote: |
If you were planning on preordering your Xbox One from GameStop, you'll have to try another retailer, such as Amazon. GameStop has halted all preorders for the console, and Polygon has found that retailers are claiming that the company has reached its launch-day allocation already. In fact, before the company nationwide sent out a message asking all preorders to stop, several individual locations had already stopped due to running out of their individual allocations.
GameStop does still have allocations left for the PlayStation 4 as they have said the allocations for preorders were much higher than those for the Xbox One.
From Polygon's calls to individual stores, they were told the following:
One store manager in California said, "We were only given an allocation of 16 Xbox Ones but we have 60 PlayStation 4s and we're still taking orders." Another in Texas said, "There's no point trying any GameStops. We've stopped that SKU until we get notice."
All preorder allocations are determined by the console companies, not GameStop. For whatever reason, Microsoft has severely limited the allocated preorders for their device overall or at the very least, they've singled out a particular retailer, which is an interesting and odd move.

If i was gamestop, i would had been promoting PS4 to death and not sell a single xbox to anyone..
Why would someone sell a product that endorse behavior that can destroy an important income source for them?!

Thats what a lot of them actually did, there are a lot of reports on NeoGAF. Gamestop people talking consumers out of buying the Xbone etc.
But this news has nothing to do with Gamestop sabotaging MS, it comes from Microsofts side, they themselves are limiting the pre-orders.
This could mean that
- they really have serious yield problems
- they change something with the console e.g. new launch bundle, 1-3 week release delay, price changes
So maybe those Xbones have shitty yields, get downclocked, delayed and Microsoft chokes on it. 
But it could also be they remove Kinect, make new launch bundles and drop the price to 399

There's no way I believe this, so I'll wait for MS's official refusal or their usual "we don't comment on rumours" nonsense. It would be magnificent for the gaming industry if it was true though, finally returning power to the consumer rather than the publisher.
... but yeah, no way am I believing this.
