Me too, for 3 reasons: -
1. You would have been able to install games to the hard drive from a disc, but you wouldn't have to put the disc in to play the game. Even though they were going to limit where you could sell disc-based games, you could still sell them and trade them in.
2. Instant game switching. You can't do that if you have to get up and swap a disc.
3. The family sharing thing, which they scrapped.
I didn't really understand some of the whining to be honest. Tons of people use Steam, where you can't sell or trade in games and you don't really own them and now Steam is going to be implementing the same family sharing idea that MS would have had on the Xbox One, had they not backtracked on it.
A lot of the people whining about having to be online once a day for the console to phone home for licensing purposes seemed to be able to get online every day to moan on and on about it too, haha.
