Xbox One: Details on Connectivity, Licensing and Privacy Features

[Rekkapryde]

yea? i can't get rid of game i own...ionno what it is. Oh well nikka...

Yeah, only authorized resellers. Private sales (craigslist, ebay, hand to hand) are out.


Also wouldn't shock me if the "authorized resellers" charge you a "fee" to deauthorize your disc to pass that money to the Big Publishers.

I have not much interest in the system but I don't see the outrage of the internet check unless your power goes out, going traveling or you have a weak connection. In 2013 if you don't have a reliable internet connection I dunno what to say.

I know stuff can happen but I'm without a internet connection at home pretty much never.

Console gamers get raped and will continue to get raped. Consoles allowed publishers to drive up the price of games. they aren't gonna cut console gamers any deals and as for selling codes given away with hardware those graphics cards cost several hundred dollars. what's the console equivalent?

I think an equivalent could be people that sell ms points or live memberships cheap. my point is there's not promotions like that because the games were mostly still distributed on discs. but I agree console gamers will continue to get booty raped for the most part

 

[Tic Tac T O]

all the offline shyt and borrowing and reselling and buying used and all that kinect shyt has no effect on me whatsoever. Those arent really cons for me personally, but thats all thats ever posted about so its finally nice to read some potentially good shyt. just need some exact details, but I can wait til E3 for all that

dont think I borrowed a game from someone since Goldeneye on N64. kept it for so long dude just said keep it

 

[Death6six6]

Why do I keep bringing up discs? Because it was the last advantage you console players had...and now that's gone. You guys now have no advantages when it comes to buying games.

As far as privacy is concerned....keep thinkin MS aint using Kinect to keep tabs on yall nikkaz.....

NSA slides explain the PRISM data-collection program - The Washington Post

"Through a top-secret program authorized by federal judges working under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the U.S. intelligence community can gain access to the servers of nine Internet companies for a wide range of digital data. Documents describing the previously undisclosed program, obtained by The Washington Post, show the breadth of U.S. electronic surveillance capabilities in the wake of a widely publicized controversy over warrantless wiretapping of U.S. domestic telephone communications in 2005. These slides, annotated by The Washington Post, represent a selection from the overall document, and certain portions are redacted. "

And @PS4 you on ignore....

 

[Mowgli]

Wait a minute, didn't the PS3 being $600 make it not 100% for gamers
Isn't the PS3 primarily an online gaming system, most things for it being online based? What about the gamers who don't have online, how they gonna play with you in Battlefield 4, KZ2,3,4. Warhawk and certain other ps3 games was to use dedicated servers and you USED that as a reason for why PSN was better or equal to XBL back on SOHH
What about PS+, its this great deal so you can get arcade titles that are not accessible to the gamers your talking about. PS+ is a big FU.CK YOU to those gamers, OH THEE HUMANITY!!!

Because Xbox (already) One

Spoiler

This, plus most games in general will go to a free to play structure which eliminates used game sales as well. This is the future, embrace it or get a new hobby

Buht buht playstation. Bet you still dont day one this piece of trash and still cop that ps4 before anything.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

This honestly sounds relieving. Regardless of copping both systems like I always have, I usually game with the same 4-5 homies and we can take turns buying single-player games

 

[PS5 Pro]

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.

Some idiot told you the ps4 is more powerful and now your on the internet with your vagina exposed. E3 is almost here, when Xbox games look better, you better say the same shyt about PS4 or I'll put you on permanent ignore boy

Spoiler

You still x4

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 :ru ss:

Almost as hilarious as you saying microsoft isn't doing what they just said they doing. That would create a shiit storm. Watch as sony says how used games will be handled. Then the shiit storm will commence
Don't act like you foresaw that, you was too busy being a dumbazz fanboy to think clearly (your bad)

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.

Why do that if you have Verizon I understand you had a situation before but that type of situation doesn't happen yearly for you does it I had my cable go out twice EVER. Once because of a storm, another because they was upgrading to FIOS. Your sky is falling scenario ain't gonna happen Chicken Little. If it does, ill NOT play games til its fixed. Microsoft has an 11yr track record of handling there issues in a timely manner (Story Tru)

Then why are we even talking about used games and borrowing games from friends?

And your gullible if you think publishers will allow one console NOT to implement similar features.

This is common sense if they have any

Why do I keep bringing up discs? Because it was the last advantage you console players had...and now that's gone. You guys now have no advantages when it comes to buying games.

So then if identical games come out for console and PC it would only make sense for console games to go DOWN in price. Once again, common sense for some
Once again, most games will be moving to the free to play model anyway so that combined will make prices drop. Anyone wanna play some Uncharted 3?
Free to play baby!!!

I play everything

Then that means your getting an Xbox One then

 

[backbreaker65]

I see some of you need to read the share game policy a little closer. Listen closer as giant bombcast breaks it down for you.

[Lakers Offseason]

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.

I can see where you are coming from. But from the standpoint that I play video games so I can play online with friends is what makes my decision for me. A lot of my friends don't care for PC gaming. For us, spending maybe another extra $100 on games per year is nothing. Much like paying for XBox Live.

 

[GoldenGlove]

You nikkas are either retarded or just straight illiterate...

They already told you what the catch is with the game sharing...

Family members can't play the same game at the same time when using multiple Xbones...If you or said family member access the account on a Xbone that is not your main one, it will check every 1 hour if you are online or not instead of 24 hours...

In other words for you slow nikkas that can't read...If i'm sharing my 2K with you and your at your house, when I log into my xbox at my house you will be kicked off after an hour...

Haha, I'm going through the thread now and I had to quote this because nikkas are really like...



About that game sharing shyt like they are about to feast off of it. PSN had that real game sharing shyt for an entire generation where you could literally download and play every game or dlc the account you logged in with... and there wasn't an hour limit on it.
