Would you buy an Xbox One now it's DRM free?

Want to hear what general consensus thinks. Personally, I'm with Sony because even trying to enable restrictions is terrible. Not to mention that Kinect is still required and the system is advertised as an entertainment hub versus a gaming console.

Update:

@Liam: You do realize that those TV functions are only available in the US at launch right? and the console still needs Kinect in order to fuction. It's not the fact that you can turn it off, It's the idea that the damn thing is required in order to work

    Hell no. Sony didn't try to pull that major bs like mircocrap. Microsoft is such a joke. They realized their system was going straight down the shitter, so they changed a couple bs policies, and now that makes everything better? Ridiculous. We all would like to hear the name of the person who had this vision of how he thought the new xbox should be. I don't want to have anything to do with MShit, PS4 is the way to go.

    I am getting Xbox One because it is more ahead into the future whereas all Sony have done is upgraded their hardware. I was going to get PS4 but since Microsoft have changed they policies I will be getting it. Also Xbox Kinect 2.0 can be turned off "Google it". Xbox has and always will have the best servers with over 300.000 thousand servers around the globe. Xbox has better exclusives and that is a fact, the PS4 has too many Japaneses/Asian games as far as i'm concerned. The Xbox controller is more comfortable because it was designed for "Gaming", even PS fans agree with that. Finally like i said earlier it is the future; Everything is going Voice control, and digital and the Kinect 2.0 is always on standby for you to say "Xbox On" this command instantly wakes up the console. The thing with live T.V is amazing. People just don't want a gaming console you want entertainment may that be Gaming or T.V. Think what you feel comfortable with though. If you have been an Xbox fan all your life go with XBOX ONE or if you've been a PS fanboy all you life go with PS.

    I am speaking the truth.

    Im sticking with the PS4 because it is $100 cheaper, and i pay it with my own money rather than all these kids using their mommys money. Also, Sony knew that people would want to share games and play offline, is Microsoft so crazy that they didn't even think about it and have to do it after EVERYONE complains about it? If microsoft couldn't even think of such a simple thing, I don't even trust buying their products.

    I'm actually with PC, the graphics still beat consoles and you can get some of the games on consoles cheaper on PC.If I couldn't get PC I'd get Wii U for Zelda and Smash Bros.

    i was gonna buy it anyway..it was the better console even with its restrictions..but now with no restrictions it is by far a better console...more and better exclusives, more entertainment, more for your money (i know its more expensive, but considering everything in it its not a bad deal at all)

    Getting both but i suggest PS4 first.

    I'm getting Xbox One when they actually lower it to 400 dollars.
