what's up guys Lew here with a very important update regarding the Xbox one some of you have probably already heard but I felt compelled to make this video because I have content that I made in the past just a few days ago talking about this specific subject matter and so it's important for me to update you now and let you know about the changes that are going on I've got a document in front of me from the official Xbox blog this is news Xbox com I will link it down in the description if you want to follow along or read it for yourself but there have been some changes to Microsoft's official policy regarding the Xbox one so guess what they heard the community they heard your voices in the comments section give yourself a thumbs up down below because this is huge not often does the community get hurt and in this particular case listen we've been heard so first and foremost I'm going to read from the blog and then I'm going to have a few questions for you guys so just pay attention right now this is the official terminology that Microsoft has used on this page an internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox one games what a surprise I mean this is some really quick backtracking going on here after a one time system set up with a new Xbox one you can play any disk based game without ever connecting online again there is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox one anywhere you want and play your games just like you could on the Xbox 360 so for people with janky internet connections people in the military anybody who is concerned about this always-on 24 checking situation in Scenario you don't need to worry about it anymore it is gone that's point number one point number two is much larger and more important I'm going to read it word for word trade-in lend resell gift and rent disk-based games just like you do today there will be no limitations to using and sharing games it will work just as it does today on the Xbox 360 so once again a major backtrack from Microsoft on this particular point obviously the things that happened at e3 and the noise the community is making has changed their stance on this major major thing which gamers take for granted or have taken for granted up until this particular point console gamers especially there will be no restrictions you can hand a game to your friend and your friend can go ahead and install that game or not install it put it in there in their tray play the game and you know it'll work just as it would for the original user this is this is a really big deal means you're going to own your disks there it's not like a licensing agreement where you just have the right to play it no in this case that disk is just as valuable to you you know a month later or to the next individual to the next user there's going to be used games now game rentals will be untouched so this is a really really big deal and as I said earlier it's really a win for the community because it you know we've been making noise we've been talking about our criticisms regarding their system I mean not just us specifically but the entire greater large community and Microsoft listened they went back and they changed some things so I'm going to give them a thumbs up for that I mean that's that's good but the major question remains is this too little too late and this is my question for you guys are you interested in Xbox one now will you change your mind in this console war that's about to go on or is already going on are you still on Team ps4 or have you moved over to team Xbox one at this point now I'm going to tell you I still have one major criticism regarding the Xbox one I mean it's not as major probably as a couple of these but it really matters to me and it's the fact that you must buy the Kinect sensor with the console and I've talked about this in previous videos I think the better solution and you know thumbs up if you agree with me I think the better solution is to have a modular system where you can buy the console on its own and then at a later date get the Kinect sensor if you want it rather than being forced to buy it and forced to pay for it I think if Microsoft really wants to compete in this hyper-competitive space that them not having that lower price point that the ps4 has is really really going to hurt them and meanwhile they're trying to bundle this thing in that you know truly a lot of people don't want now I'm not speaking to everyone obviously some people do but that's why the modular setup is so much better it means that you can pay for it if you want it and you don't end up paying for it if you don't want it so that's the only other major thing that I'm really focusing on now I don't know if that's going to change I mean I'm obviously making noise about I don't know how many people are also making noise about that particular element on this particular console you can trust that I'm going to of course feature both consoles once they come out on the channel because that's what I do have feature brand-new products but once again just to close out this video the question now goes out to you because of these changes the ones that have occurred officially you can check them out once again at the link in the description because of these changes are you now in the Xbox one camp or you still on the ps4 side or were you always on the Xbox one camp and now you're just a little bit happier let me know in the comments section down below otherwise thanks as always for watching guys I just had to make this update because I've done so much on this particular topic and it's important for me to let you know exactly what's happening in order to replace some of the information on those previous videos because guess what that information is changed now I'm surprised you know I read this yesterday I was like I have to make a video I was busy all all night last night but I have to make a video so I'm doing it today thanks as always for watching guys and I'll catch you maybe on the next update who knows what's going to happen at this point but I'll definitely catch on the next video thanks again later
