The DRM talk, the other issues that got everyone on message boards up in arms (and with good reason) have been corrected by MS months ahead of launch. For the vast majority of consumers, those are going to be non-issues now, and certainly going forward. It's not going to matter. On message boards, and with "hardcore gamers," they'll still be thrown around, but I think, personally, the sentiment that the PS4 has it "won already" is ridiculous. Maybe in social media circles, but wait until the systems come out and we see what the sales are. Message board posts and fanboy bickering isn't necessarily a good indication of what's going to happen. Personally, I get the feeling many are going to be surprised by what ends up happening, especially in North America where the 360 has outsold the PS3 monthly for, what, years now? That kind of "brand loyalty" isn't going to be wiped out overnight because MS made a series of PR blunders at E3. For the majority, it's not going to matter when launch day comes -- the price obviously is still legit and on the table, but MS must feel they have an edge here and can afford the higher MSRP. We'll see how it works for them, but I know I've preordered my Xbox One and will stick with it since they reversed course on DRM. I have most of my friends on Xbox Live, I like the controller, and I want to stick with it.At any rate -- I am very excited about the news for FS. It's good news for the 360, it's good news for the Xbox One. They need revenue, we need the tables, and they've been frozen out of the market for far too long. Let's hope it all goes smoothly for them, and us, from here on out. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
