Ahaha, well. I guess I’m a little slow on things. Anyway, all’s well that ends well
BTW, considering that Microsoft can change their minds, I would thread with caution with their stuff.
Were you referring to me?
You and anyone else who might be thinking the same. “Forgive, but don’t forget”
Microsoft didn’t have a choice but to change their policies in order to stay anywhere near being Sony’s legit rival. Yea people would’ve went ahead and bought the X1 but over time consumers would’ve seen the difference in hassle/regulation between the consoles and slowly moved away from the X1. In the long run Microsoft would’ve lost more than it was worth.
My biggest issue with the policy was the 24hr check-ins. My question was always what happens when communities are devastated by natural disasters? Utilities such as water and electricity would be first to be put back on and the internet would come later b/c it obviously wouldn’t be a priority.
Ahaha, oh no, I’ve already both forgiven and forgotten. There’s no reason to hold a grudge against a big corporation, it’ll do nothing for me. All I was doing was voicing my opinion, not that anyone actually cared. I merely ask to e able to play fun games without a hassle 
June is around the corner and you know what that means. Predictions, announcements and all breaking news from the big event.
**So for the pre-E3 discussion, what are you expecting or predicting this year from the big 3?
**
I know I’m crossing my fingers for a Metroid on the 3DS.
Here are some videos to satisfy your hunger for now.

Newsflash: PlayStation TV coming to the West this autumn
*Philip Kendall
PlayStation TV, originally launched as PlayStation Vita TV in Japan, is coming to the US, Canada, and Europe this autumn, Sony has announced at E3.
The device allows players to stream gaming content to a television set not directly connected to a console, effectively making every TV in a person’s home a gameplay screen.
The original PlayStation Vita TV unit was launched in Japan in November last year. Unlike all of Sony’s other gaming hardware, however, the unit was not compatible with non-Japanese PlayStation Network accounts, something that gamers the world over who wanted to take their games from room to room bemoaned.
Sony has clearly been listening to its fans, however, as it was announced today during the company’s press conference that PlayStation TV would go on sale for US$99 this autumn. It will able to available as a bundle including a DualShock controller, an 8GB memory card, HDMI cable, and a game voucher for The Lego Movie Video Game, for $139.*
