Would think there will be some clever compression used , hasn't been announced how this will work although I do remember an interview saying not all the game had to be downloaded to start playing it ;)

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Possibly no 24hr check in and no restriction on used games but I need to see facts.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Same here, I hope we can always keep kinetic off if desired too.

big move...and smart.

though it didn't stop me

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Possibly no family sharing now? Disk needs to be in the drive to.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I wasnt bothered by the DRM or the online check in but this makes brilliant news. Maybe now all the Sony fanboys will shut up

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes, it says that will not happen now..you need to have game in the tray

that is the trade-off

No issue for me...others might be disappointed..but you can't have everything

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I may get an Xbox now, the only 3 things stopping me maybe kinetic, games not region free and the ps4 having more power.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

"Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console — there will be no regional restrictions."

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

That's a bad trade IMO :( , could have saved a small fortune in games :(

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Region locks have been removed to.

Dave Mattress has now apparently confirmed that the 24 hour check-in nonsense has been backed out.

A victory for common sense.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The problem with people these days is they are too reluctant to embrace change , digital downloads are the future of gaming , yes the 24 hour checkin was a little over the top but the family sharing idea was groundbreaking in my opinion. It's now no more special than the ps4 in terms of evolution to the next generation.
