@TFJWM, maybe Crackdown by itself doesn't justify always online and DRM checks for concurrent use, though CrossTech and stream anywhere does explain why that is necessary... the ideas of those that reject "Ms" are always fLAMER.
Edit: I suppose I should explain about why I think it is needed for "stream anywhere"... because services such as PS Now are for casuals and game rental (and it doesn't require check-in because it uses much worse tech that ...
Microsoft is dominating Sony this gen where it really matters... PLATFORM.
People that naysay Ms are always BACKWARDS, such as saying that Ms is the worst for gaming while those opposing them are, as we see with how much needed DRM with always online will be, while those with Sony disc DRM will be "alienated", as they have to "phone home" (an E.T. reference for those too young to know) to ask for a disc swap to remotely play anywhere, as Windows or Xbox is...
I haven't tried these, though the disks that come with these are good (WD Red),

Keep in mind, 4TB means 2TB mirrored... 8TB means 4TB mirrored, etc.
Edit: I just now thought to double check searching for Xbox in the Amazon comments for this product,
Super Awesome!!!!!!!!

I think you're lucky. I've worked with many hundreds of disks over the years, and I don't find them reliable, especially Seagate.
I also think it is a bad idea to give people that impression.
When I read this article, it corroborated exactly what I've found true,

Although I suppose a 1TB drive isn't too annoying to recover from, buying very large disks for XO that aren't in USB RAID enclosures is a devastating failure waiting to happen that will require weeks or months of reinstalling to recover from with 1.5TB+ of data.
I suppose most people aren't tech savvy enough to realize how often hard disks fail.
Fortunately, SSDs are getting good enough that it could be practical not to RAID those (for systems tha...
At E3, Phil was describing how much he likes the idea of people playing their games wherever they are... of leaving somewhere and then picking up elsewhere, right where they left off... I expect implying both through CrossTech and streaming.
I believe Ms will eventually allow logging into Windows 10 or XOs anywhere in the world and streaming games from other XOs or Windows 10 devices... IMO, that's far better than a pay service (such as PS Now) where that people can only ...
@SilentNegotiator... that article makes my point. It is all "alleged" and evil dramatics (everyone on N4G should realize how that works... they dramatize BS for clicks), and you AGAIN are implying that people getting their accounts "hacked" is the same thing as hacking the service... people can call you on the phone and get your password for Live through lies, does that mean Live is "hacked" when that happens? NO. Quit spreading lies, FUD, BS, and SPIN.

It is obvious that Ms bought TR exclusivity for having a comparable exclusive to Uncharted 4 that was originally planned for release around the same time... it was exceptionally REASONABLE of Ms to compete that way, it was FANtastic of Ms to provide that for their customers, and fair to PS4 owners who would have had Uncharted 4 to play (and probably tout as better), while waiting until the next year to play TR and while benefiting from reviews and patches of the 2015 version.

What would you qualify as a hack that does not exploit a vulnerability?
@SilentNegotiator, all that indicates is someone targeted them specifically (such as with a keylogger\snooping over shoulder when they had to logon).
I don't think that means the Live service has ever actually been hacked.
@Disagree, Sony fans need to quit with the SPIN and BS, such as MAKE.believe about Microsoft (Parity) Clause\Claus\CLAWS hurts gamers (that has NEVER been verified, thus the real damage to gaming are all those who are obviously fairy ta...
Larry Hryb has been hinting\mentioning about (proper) mouse and keyboard support, since (at least) last year.
What I remember reading implied was that it will be up to developers whether or not it is enabled... I also think maybe they could allow mouse and keyboard for PC CrossPlay games or for games such as Fable Legends villain mode.
Months ago, Fable Legends videos show people testing the game with keyboards sitting in front of their XOs.
-$ony has a huge space in the "Con"?
I think M$ being half as large in the "Con" is better.
Playing with -$ymbol$ really can say a lot.
Edit: I suppose maybe your point is valid... implying that Ms has a lot of money, yet not having as much space, implies that Sony has a significant presence.
I just really get annoyed at "M$"... I think of Microsoft as "Ms", while I think M$ implies who...

@LostDjinn, I read the article... he specifically stated a "parity clause" does NOT exist, and your comment is what appears to be "complete fiction" (AKA you're BACKWARDS).
Liars\spinners\manipulators insisting that words indicating something vague, that they believe justifies their agenda to insult Microsoft with the term "parity CLAWS", are who are really evil.
As if Microsoft isn't allowed to require that games release...
@Ezz2013, I think you're BACKWARDS... those who reject "Ms" are who "SPIN" and end up fLAMER being BACKWARDS.
There is a negative "con"notation to the wording "clause\claws" that is negative SPIN towards Microsoft's "requirements". "Requirements" are often regarded as needed, such as for the optimal experience, while "clauses" are regarded as being fLAMER, thus how the SPIN.

You're BACKWARDS. Fanboy logic is "going there" when insulting the Xbox by claiming a game that gets a 7 "is bad on your platform".
The possible DX12 patch could improve the game's flaws on XBox, and he's also right about Forza 6... no need to get insulting when he points out a AAA Xbox game that PS4 doesn't have, and he didn't slight the PS4 version either, yet you're name calling him "fanboy".
Those tha...
From the GamerBolt article is a link about, "a new slightly slimmer edition of the PS4."
Then from the link they provided, "Unfortunately, that fat trimming has not come from the body, this new version has the same external dimensions so is not the PS4 Slim we are all waiting for."
Shouldn't articles that spread misinformation not be approved?
That article was practically a false advertisement for PS4...
The simple truth is, if PS4 doesn't have any really great AAA games this year other than Bloodborne, it deserves insulted the same way Sony fans have CONSTANTLY done towards Xbox, as you just did with, "Is that why Xbox hasn't had an AAA retail exclusive since November 2014? ".
Including this ENTIRE year, name one great game that's a AAA exclusive besides Bloodborne, not including remasters since you ignore State of Decay and ODST were released the first...
With childish pictures such as this article's from "playstationlifestyle.net ", is it any wonder that Sony makes the movie Chappie portraying criminal retards as heroic and family TV shows as being about kids eating ejaculate for superpowers.
Edit: BS that commenting about the article's picture and source isn't on topic.
I won't throw SF5 at you, though since you mentioned it... please explain how the SF5 exclusivity isn't much worse... it could be said to be over 14 million times worse.
The real disappointer of Sony fans is Sony, not Microsoft (such as Sony's firmware updates consistently not giving users the features they've been asking for and Sony's "consistent year-round" release delays).
Microsoft originally bought TR timed exclusivity to h...
