re: The Xbox One Thread
Everything is done through Xbox Live & Microsoft, you can't just take your game to a mates, stick it in the disc tray and play. The '10 people' refers to upto 10 people in your household using your account (though not GamerTag).
Plus the publishers can disallow trade ins, you can guarantee EA will be the first to do so, probably followed by Activision. |
re: The Xbox One Thread
Sony will be doing a very similar thing with the PS4. Also if you look at the EULA in any of your game manuals you will see that you don't actually own the game anyways. Also the publishers can already prevent trade ins if you read the EULA.

The bottom line is:

re: The Xbox One Thread
I wonder what happens if a household has 2 or more Xbox Ones and only 1 bought copy of a game, do they then have to keep registering it with each console to play it, and is there a limit to how often this can be done?
It all sounds rather complicated to me, i am glad i won't be one of these people that blindly buy the console on the first day of release without knowing the true facts. |

re: The Xbox One Thread
if you think they won't buy it I and most of the people I know won't be we also won't buy the PS4 if they do go down the same path.
I already spend more time playing games on my phone than I do on any of the consoles in the house (Wii 360 x 2 and 1 PS3) my son is most disapointed already that there is no Minecraft app for our lumias so switching to android will have him happy . MS I think just got a little to greasy and controlling. Developers don't seem that enthusiastic either And they are not making it easy for Independant developers either. If all else fails I am back off to playing RuneScape ;) |

I think that Sony may just leave it all up to the publishers (it's already said there's no mandatory online requirement for the system). Then it can put on an innocent face, while laughing in private. Instead of the system itself needing an internet connection every 24 hours, it could be on a per game basis depending on the publisher. Play Game 1 from Publisher X? No online needed, you can play offline and you can trade it in, no restrictions. Play Game 2 from Publisher Y? You must be online to play it, and you cannot trade it in unless you pay some sort of fee (or the person you sell it to pays a fee). ---------- Post added at 18:48 ---------- Previous post was at 18:45 ---------- Quote:
Including it with every Xbox One and making its connection mandatory means the developers don't have to worry about whether people have one or not: They will know that *everyone* has one. MS messed up with the 360 when it failed to make the HDD a standard mandatory component. |
re: The Xbox One Thread
Try sharing when you don't have net access and see how far you get under the released rules . Plus try playing games on holiday ( we take ours with on holiday for those lovely rainy days) unless you can log on there .

re: The Xbox One Thread
I have just read that you can share your entire games library with upto 10 people and can be accessed on any Xbox, now if that is correct that maybe very good indeed.
