Xbox One: Details on Connectivity, Licensing and Privacy Features

[The_Sheff]

You act like people can't post from their phones. After Hurricane Sandy, my internet was down for a while and I used my phone for all my internet tasks.

MS has said you can authenticate from your phone so you good on that front.

nikka please,

You got nikkaz in here celebrating not even knowing that shyt aint as sweet as they think it is.

i've had an internet connection since forever...i have no muthafukkin worries. You have no worries. Them other clowns have no worries. The nikkas who have no internet in 2013 most likely can't afford these systems...i guess microsoft is at fault there too...huh?

cop an x1 so i can share some games with u nikka...Haaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your phone has the Internet. X1 can use it to check in.

And you had power but no Internet?

Xbox Live has been around for 11 years and has NEVER suffered the outage that PSN has. You are pretending that there isnt an incentive for people to hack the service as we speak and they arent currently doing so.

So when the XB1 launches are the super hackers gonna show up specifically to take down the system so nobody can play games?

I'm saying the possibility that you won't be able to play your games at all if Live goes down longer than 24 hours is real. If Live went down before, it wasn't a big deal because your games do not NEED it to run. If Live for whatever reason goes down longer than 24 hours....you are UNABLE to use your Xbox One to play games. But you can watch TV.......It's a flaw.

That same phone would be used to assist offline gaming checks.

You, my good friend, are a prime candidate for the Xbox One

please explain how one can use a cell phone to check in on an Xbox One without paying for a mobile hotspot or without doing something warranty voiding like rooting / jailbreaking your phone.

oh shyt the power wend down a few blocks down but we still got power here. that's where my ISP powers their equipment so the internet and cable are out. better pay an extra $30 dollars this month so i can check in on my Xbox One.

Game sharing could be cool, but you still have to be a dumbass to buy this over the PS4. The system is confirmed more powerful, will have better looking graphics for multiplats, free online service, exclusives will be mindblowing, doesn't require online, allows indie games, have the more acclaimed game studios... Like wtf would you even cop an XB1 anyways? But that's just me

Most carriers charge to tether. Yes I had power and no internet. My power came back but the Verizon fiber line was ripped off the pole nikka. Is that really hard for you to comprehend?

the Ps3 was suppose to be more powerful than the 360...we saw how that turned out. Both systems will have great looking games, especially from the right developers.

I'll have both...but my baby the XOne will get all the love..

 

[ltheghost]

Oh now you triple


(Buys game and shares with ppl who pitched in so price is comparable to an XBLA title and keeps it movin)

I just find this shyt to be disrespectful to gamers and inherently a fukking bad idea. They put out this piece of shyt with less power than the PS4 then they add all these conditions for use. fukk Xbox One and Microsoft.

I know how steam works. The differnce here is that you can still buy and trade physical discs at the store. And you can share your entire game library with 10 different people. In order to achieve this obviously some rules had to be different.

discs are useless.

you are being way too gullible if you really think publishers are going to just sit there and let microsoft let people share games with 10 people without a catch.

It's almost hilarious going back and forth with you guys at this point

PS3's arch was too complicated. I'll probably have XB1 but as a secondary system. I just see Microsoft jerking it's consumers a lot next gen.

Maybe they will let you authenticate through Xbox glass

I'm gonna pay T-Mobile $15 every month to make sure I can check in the X1 in case my internet goes out? FOH.

i paid like $22.50 for Bioshock Infinite day one that it came out. not the $60 they're gonna want on a console. somebody bought a graphics card and sold me the code for the game on eBay with Crysis 3 for $45 combined.

on PC you can wheel and deal and get games very cheap. can't do that on Xbox One. if i pay $25 or so for a game i don't care about the resell but if i'm paying well over twice that i'd at least like the option.

let them live in their little bubble, its almost hilarious going back and forth with these kids about "new and advanced" features I was hyped up about in 2004/2005
