Sounds like you're the man to find it!
I meant that sarcastically. There's a reason the thread discussing it got locked, I think.

Friday Without Goddamn what is it with today.
It's one of the biggest gaming websites in Poland and they had 1-2 global news first, but never anything related to Microsoft (at least I don't remember anything).
Why is all this happening today?
It's also in hands of the biggest Polish newscorp. 90% chance it's legit - they meet MS guys for lunch every day.
Ideally, Friday late afternoon. It's a cliche how companies in all industries, not just gaming, release unpopular news via a press release late on Friday to avoid some of the negative PR but it's actually pretty effective.
Bonus if you release the press release the afternoon before a long weekend or a guaranteed big news event like the beginning of E3 or the Olympics or something. It's actually hilarious how often companies and even governments around the world just so happen to release a bit of bad news the day before the Olympics or World Cup starts lol.
So almost half the countries will get the system at launch.
Looks more and more like going Region free and removing that DRM was the right answer...on so many levels.
What the fuck is happening right now? Did Friday break the gaming industry???
Does that work so well in the Internet age? You give people two days to go crazy about something and possibly misread/blow things out of proportion and you can't respond until Monday.

If they need a day one patch to go region free and remove the DRM - will you be able to patch if you aren't first in an official country?

As I understand it, it's 4.5-5.5.So there will be about 4.5/8 of the originally planned countries getting Xbox One at 2013 launch?
IMO, if Microsoft is going to be supply constrained, this is a good move. They'll likely lose in those "Tier 2" countries regardless. They need as much inventory as they can manage to try and fend off Sony in Microsoft's strongholds, i.e., the U.S. and UK.
Europe will be a wasteland for XB1.
Maybe they know for sure that Sony won't launch in 2013 in EU?

Why would anyone live in any of those countries?
