Well at least until MS (hopefully) backs off having fees for using used/your friend's games and that extremely confusing "not always on but once a day internet connectivity" feature.

The Xbox One is Microsoft's third video game console. It was released on November 22nd 2013 in 13 countries.
Is Anyone Else Going To Boycott Xbox One? (Topic 4 years old)
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I wouldn't call it a boycott. I don't plan on buying one though. I barely ever use my 360 as it is, and only things I don't like have been added to the new xbox. Other than better graphics and faster loading of course.
No. And most people who claim they are going to boycott it will end up buying it anyway.
yep
@blu3v3nom07: The one playin CSS is fo real, son.
I will wait until after E3 to decide when I am buying, but I know I will be getting it at some point down the line. E3 will just help me decide which one I am buying at or around launch.
quite.
Though I do enjoy it when people boycott things that they can't even buy, way to send a message.
That's the BEST!
That's the BEST!
That is what I had in mind when I made my post above actually.
I'm gonna create a petition to the white house to prevent Microsoft from releasing such a product! That will show them!
If you really wanted to mess with them you should just save a bunch of money and keep buying Xbox Ones at launch but no software; they sell for less then they cost to make, after all.
If they remove that tidbit then you still have to switch discs. Not having to switch discs is much more important than slightly cheaper games from illegitimate sources.
I should also mention that I want to be able to play offline for an extended period of time on whatever whim without having to check in with big brother regularly. Basically the Xbone has some stuff going against it right now that would be a deal breaker for me if these things are implemented.
But boycott? Don't be silly.
I will be boycotting every new system until they have games I want to play. I will also continue boycotting bananas because of their mushy texture and vaguely dick-like shape.
I don't "boycott" products based on the pricing structure a company adopts. Pricing structure simply informs my purchasing decisions in so much as it affects the value of the purchase. I feel the same way about always online, DRM, and legacy support issues because these all possibly devalue the product by limiting my accessibility.
I reserve boycotts, which I delineate to mean not purchasing from a specific company until a specific policy is modified, to companies with policies that I disagree with from a moral standpoint. From what I've seen so far, the most serious moralistic consequence of this policy is the possible penalty incurred by not-for-profit organizations receiving second-hand video games as donations. However, I would like to believe this could be an easily solvable problem with special licensing solutions for these organizations.

I am boycotting penises for similar reasons.
I'm not going to buy it, but I'm not going to boycott it. I just don't need more than one console and one is clearly better for me.
If by boycott you mean continue to have no plans on buying one... sure! I'm in. Continuing mission!
Anyone else want to join me in boycotting heroin?

This... I don't think of myself as being such a staunch Xbox customer that I think not buying their new system would constitute a boycott.
I am either not buying an Xbox One because I am boycotting it or because I don't give a shit. I will let you decide the answer...
I am already boycotting this product which isn't out yet and will only be available in limited quantities for a while after launch because I enjoy pointless gestures.
And pointless gestures would include your post in my thread. You're really good at this.
