Whoever made that is a very anti PS4.

So how does this share thing work on the Xbone? I don't think MS has clarified yet have they?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

They mentioned you can share games with 10 people...not necessarily family...they just need to be named (and suspect it will not allow constant changing of friends).

I also think that two people on the friends list can play the same game at the same time (please can others correct me) ie you the owner and another

And you don't need to be on the same console. (i think it works by account)

So the benefit mentioned would be that you could share buying of games with "friends".

No good to me..I don't like sharing, and no friends :D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

lol Colin i don't like sharing and i don't have many game console friends yet.

I wonder what happens if 1 of those friends is playing the game and another wants to play? I still dont think MS have worked it all out yet, but still months to go before things improve. :)

quote extract (from above link)
So that answers one question: Microsoft doesn't seem to care whether or not the ten people in the group are actually family members. They can be friends, roommates, boyfriends, girlfriends, your dog's groomer… you pick ten people, and you share games with them.

The question is how many people can play the game at the same time. Spencer told me he believed that two people can play one copy of a game concurrently, but he urged me to check Microsoft's official wording on the matter to be sure. This is what the licensing page states:

Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.
So one family member can play a game at a time, but can I be playing the same game? If I buy one copy of a multiplayer title, can I play it in co-op with my son if I own two Xbox One systems?

“The only limitation, it seems, is that only one person can be playing the shared copy of a single game at any given time,” Ars Technica reported after speaking with Microsoft Xbox Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Yusuf Mehdi. “All in all, this does sound like a pretty convenient feature that's more workable than simply passing discs around amongst friends who are actually in your area.”

Now imagine if 2 of your friends wish to play battlefield 4 at the same time i can see that being pretty annoying to the person who can't, but i guess it is first come first served.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

But wouldn't be your problem..which is key :D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It is , but being able to let one friend play your game at the same time as you is pretty cool !!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes i agree that is cool. :)

I hope they don't increase the cost of a Gold membership.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Me too , the last thing they need is more bad press though ;)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I can't see anymore bad press coming lol.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

When it says 'shared library' do you have to download the game in full from whoever has the original. How big will these games be? If you do have to download the library or game then everyone's going to be throttled.
