    probably one of the most disastrous reveals in history that the company is still contending with years later.

    the drama was delicious though, I wasn’t planning on buying one so I just got to sit back and enjoy it. i was eating for days lmao

      The drama was delicious and meme-worthy, and Don Mattrick’s PR attempts fueled it more. What kind of idiot says “don’t buy our new console, buy the Xbox 360”? The always-online-DRM was then dropped but the damage had been done, and Phil Spencer stepping in mitigated it somewhat.

    Does anyone have the video that mashed up every time they brought up “TV” during showcases?

    Remember when it was going to be a DRM-laden garbage fire? Forcing you to connect online every day, and not allowing you to sell your used games?
