Xbox One does a 360.

With some breaking news off Microsoft's website, the Xbox One is looking a lot less new and a lot more like the 360 with some major changes to it's performance.
The Xbox One we were all familiar with had a DRM, a built-in kinect, a region block, and it had to be online at least once every 24 hours, and you couldn't rent or sell any games. Now, Microsoft's headlines say, "we've listened to your feedback," and have changed the system almost completely. The "new" Xbox One does not have a DRM at all, it will not always have a built-in kinect, it won't have a region block, you won't have to be online every 24 hours, and you can rent, buy, trade, and sell any games you want. These are some pretty impressive improvements that may attract more attention to the Xbox One. GOOD FOR THEM, they might have just saved their asses. Still, a lot of fans have to think twice about choosing between a One or PS4.
I'm glad Xbox made these changes to their system, but I still don't really care about TV, and the only reason I'd move onto One is to play Halo 5 since it's going to be exclusive by its release year 2015. Meanwhile I feel like bringing out the PS2 so I can get back into Kingdom Hearts and God of War. And maybe even my DS to play some Animal Crossing. :3
If you guys have any thoughts or comments on this, feel free to let it out down below. I'm curious to see if this shifted anybody's minds from the PS4 back to Xbox.
