So the stupid boycott website isn't going to make a difference huh? WELL SUCK ON THIS:

//http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/update

QuoteLast week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.

For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.

Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One.

You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.

So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:

    An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.

    Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.

In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.

These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.

We appreciate your passion, support and willingness to challenge the assumptions of digital licensing and connectivity. While we believe that the majority of people will play games online and access the cloud for both games and entertainment, we will give consumers the choice of both physical and digital content. We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds.

Thank you again for your candid feedback. Our team remains committed to listening, taking feedback and delivering a great product for you later this year.

It wasn't the boycott website in specific, it was people that spoke out against Microsoft just like the website. In the last 3 or 4 pages everybody was saying how it wouldn't make a difference and laughing at people who protested the new changes. They're just like the people who laughed at the Vietnam war protesters or the slavery abolitionists. I'm sorry if I come across as gloating, but it's just really satisfying when everybody is speaking out against and saying you aren't going to succeed, and then you do. I literally got up and did a victory dance when I heard the news.

You might want to wait until the box actually comes out and the game developers actually release titles for it before you do that victory dance.

Heard they are renaming the xbox one to the xbox 180 to represent the about face M$ did on their draconian DRM.
And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation now the time has come
Lost inside you\'ll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

Why would developers not make titles for the Xbox One?

Its not that they won't make titles. But there's more way than one way to skin a cat and what Microsoft wants, Microsoft usually gets. So I wouldn't put it past them to go ok yeah sure, we'll let you play disc based titles just like  you do now. And then they create a policy that makes it cost prohibitive for developers to release titles on disc thereby forcing developers to release most titles via 'net download only. Obviously I'm only speculating but its not a stretch to say that stranger things have happened. Put another way, I tend to be a I'll believe it when I see it type of guy.

That's understandable, but really I doubt any of the big titles will be download only. It may be bad for indie titles, but we'll just have to wait and see.

I am glad Microsoft is listeneing to the customer base.  Hopefully, I won't see any more Memes on FB making fun of it now.
