Confirmed... with a few downsides

Of course the downsides (if you thought these were good in the first place) are that the "shared library" concept is going away, and so is the ability to play a game without the physical disc. Oh well. I think I'm still leaning more towards the PS4 at this point though because of the price point, but perhaps MS hasn't lost me as a gaming customer just yet.

Considering that the upside is that our consumer rights are going to be respected, I'd say today's news is a massive net positive for most people. I too am going to go PS4 first since it's cheaper, it's exclusives are marginally more interesting, and it seems like Destiny will be better on it, but at least I can feel comfortable getting an XBO now that my money won't be funding an anti-consumer business model.
