Not the point. Why pay to have your hands nailed?
what is not the point? to me, the point of a gaming console is to play games. xbox1 has more games i want to play. truly, this is not a tough concept to grasp.
before i purchase one i will decide if the pros outweigh the cons. when i look back on this past gen, the only thing that will really effect me with all these lame ass policies is the rental thing. they claim their working with their partners on this, but i am not confident that redbox will have anything for me to rent on xbox1.
ps3/xbox360 gen i purchased probably 45-50 games, and sold 1 of them - mgs4 because it was awful. BUT i also purchased it at $30 a week after launch knowing full well i could sell it for $30 if it sucked, and i did. probably would never have gotten it had it not been $30. i did purchase burnout paradise used, only used game i bought this gen. wish i had paid full price to support the devs though. i put probably over 100 hours into that game.
i also don't think i've ever played ps3 or xbox360 offline, so the 24h checkin doesn't bother me in the least. sure i think it's stupid as shit, but it doesn't bother me.
it amazes me how so many people cannot grasp the concept that all of these policies microsoft is putting in place don't effect or matter to everyone. it is the whole "OMG THEY DONT AGREE WITH ME THEY ARE IDIOTS!!!" mentality.
like right now in this thread you are trying to pick apart anyone's opinion that does not agree with yours.
