That's awesome. I'm glad they are informing customers off the bad DRM of Xbox One
I'm glad as well. I'm sure in the end there'll still be a lot of people buying the system and not realizing the DRM though.

I hope they are. This might be the first time i actively want a system to crash and burn so bad.
Not very smart if they want Microsoft to be one of their partners where people can trade-in games.

That would make sense.

Why can't it be both? Gamestop absolutely would makes moves that make them more profit.Tbh I think it's probably in Gamestop's best interest to inform customers of the Bone policies, as it will save them a lot of headaches in the future when people come in complaining they can't play their games and whatnot.
It's probably no more than that, I wouldn't assume an anti-MS agenda or anything.
That could be itThere is a reason that a PS4 ad has been displayed on Amazon since the Sony press conference and not an Xbox One ad: they are selling more of them.

PSP Go saw pushback from some retailers as well.
strange as one would figure GS would be one of the approved retailers
I think of all the anti-Xbone conversations that are happening right now. I just overheard one in class.Microsoft really shit the bed with this one. WTF were they thinking? I'm glad it's biting them in the ass so hard. They might be close to hitting the panic button.
And "approved retailers" are still giving up some of the profits! Before they had all of the pie, and now MS gets a cut? No thanks.They would be dumb to not see the writing on the wall from Microsoft at this point though. The "participating retailers" bit is a just for now thing and where Microsoft wants to be is a place where that isn't needed.
what would that have to do with anything? That is just a paid advert.
Was at a gamestop to pick up a $20 PS card and the employee and some customers were thrashing the XBox. The customer was the one who raised the topic, but the employee had plenty to say about it as well.
Now that public opinion is solidly in Sony's court, expect their promotions and advertising to favor Sony. Even if MS had no DRM, Sony's looking to make them the most money due to the price alone.

Dont underestimate the power of 'comfort'. People often stay loyal to a brand(speaking beyond just gaming here) because its what they are used to and what they know.All of those "loyal CoD-playing Xbox fans" that we imagine? They'll easily switch allegiances for a lower price and more power alone, and the DRM stuff is a fistful of extra nails in the coffin.
Took my kids to Gamestop to spend there allowance.
My kid loves asking questions. He saw the video of how to share games there. I loved his response. Well dah, of course that's how we share games. Were not stupid.
I was kind of embarrassed but the nice rep said you can't do that on Xbox One. That's why it's a big deal. He then looked at me and said dad, I want an PS4 for Christmas.
I just laughed as they are on pre-order already.
Gamestop managers being unprofessional, what's new. Except this time, I don't really mind....:X

I think they would rather the xbone fail and not have to give a cut to Sony for used PS4 games.
Propaganda machine in full swing
