Microsoft preparing response to Xbox One DRM concerns
Responding to a Twitter user, Hryb said he will provide answers for DRM concerns and reiterated that Microsoft is listening to consumer feedback and that he is working on a response to address concerns. Hryb didn't say, however, if consumer feedback would have any impact on Microsoft's plans for the recently announced console.
Microsoft hasn't been clear on the exact DRM restrictions imposed by its upcoming console, causing confusion about how often it has to be connected to the Internet to work. Additionally, the company has said it's working on a feature "to enable customers to trade in and resell games," though it won't reveal how that method works until later.
Users of the gaming website NeoGAF recently started a campaign to bombard Microsoft and Sony with feedback on DRM issues such as persistent Internet connections requirements and similar issues, prompting Hryb's statements that Microsoft is listening to feedback. Microsoft had been expected to address DRM concerns at its E3 press conference on June 10, though the backlash may have sped up those plans.

Oasis-BTK-Woof I think the xbox one is fine.
i would have to agree with you
Same. It's called next gen for a reason, having internet access for everyone, everywhere is on the verge of being possible.
It's on the verge of being possible so it's something they should REQUIRE? I'm betting most of the people ok with the Xbox One are privileged and have never had to go without internet or live in an area where it gets knocked out for more than a day. Must be nice...

EqualiseTTGxWastedBugsBunny It would be nice to get a price...
Its rumoured to be 600 GBP on amazon but not sure
That price is probably just a place holder so people can pre-order it. It will change when the actual price is announced which will hopefully be at E3

Thats kind of ridiculous imo.
I'll just stick to my PC.
If it had many new features, that'd be cool.
It does have a lot of features, but a smart guy that knows where to look can get a high-end gaming PC for that much!
other websites have posted the Xbox One at 399.99, stating (like amazon) that this is not the official price and if it is lower at release you shall be charged the lower price. Amazon put it up to 600 probably to be on the safe side and not get peoples hopes up. it won't be 600, i think it will be a lot closer to the 400 mark

Persistence I hope that they sort out all of the negative issues by the time it's released.
they most likely will do, but we'll see.
