Dear ladies and gentlegeeks, I’m happy to report that Microsoft has changed its position on the XBox One DRM policy, meaning that you will be able to trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today on your 360. The console also no longer requires a 24-hour online check-in to play games, which will now be region-free. The only time you’ll need to connect is at system set-up. That’s it! Yay!

The Xbox One has a new unofficial name: the Xbox One-Eighty ;).

Microsoft, thank you so much for listening to your fans.

Pre-Order the Xbox One on Amazon.com.
