Xbox One: Details on Connectivity, Licensing and Privacy Features

[Heretic]

Besides the online garbage as far as being able to play offline, that's actually what I expected. So they wont charge fees on used games and you can share games also

Look, I can see your Playstation Logo in the corner. You still trying to find a reason to hate
Look, maybe you didn't read it. But there was four parts of interest.


So like an XBL version of Gamefly If its cheap enough, that would put PS+ to shame. If my name was Rekka, I'd say its already confirmed right there. Oh wait, it is

lol are you spinning this as a win

Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. 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.

This is needlessly complicated. Plus you can't borrow or loan games. You can "give" a game to a friend that's been on your list for 30 days or more and once you do that, it's theirs?? That's just some trading.

They just reworded everything.

idk why you would want to give away a game to a friend when he can just gameshare . fukk giving my friends all 300 of my disc when he can just logon and feast. I'mma be feasting off of free single player games

Going through all the details (game installs, used game drm, etc) I've come to the realization that discs are basically useless on this system. I mean am I not looking at that right? It would not surprise me if MS wanted to go digital all the way but they knew consumers and retailers were not ready for that.

All these restrictions make more sense when you look at it that way IMO

 

[Hahahaha]

Wonder if you could abuse the game sharing

yea disc=digital no difference between either essentially . can't go digital now retailers would put the systems on the fukking backwall and shun it like the pspgo.

yup i expect that to garnish a lot of hate but this right here is a megaton for me

With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies.

At Xbox, we’ve always believed in a connected world of games and entertainment. With Xbox One, we are planning for a connected future. We can’t wait to show you what’s to come

steam does this...for 30 days

The 24 hour nonsense needs to be lifted, no ifs ands or buts about it.

idk maybe a lot of people on here are from the burbs or something, but I know a lot of people that don't have wifi in their house. I know it sounds stupid cause I think it does too, but you'd be surprised how many people I know that don't have that.

Online requirement
No renting of selling of used games
You can give your game to a friend, but they way that its worded, doesn't sound like you can get it back
Publishers can block the selling of the game
Only good thing is the game sharing, and I'll wait for further details on that.

Maybe for me too. I don't like OR understand that. Seriously.

Boys, its simple to understand. They giving you MORE. See, they saying you can share your games with your family and they can play your games on any xbox one at the same time you are playing. Just have your friends have share gamertags with you and now up to ten of you can eat off a single copy Of course only 2 of you at once, but that's an UPGRADE to what it is now. This system wouldn't work if there wasn't any online checks.
So REALLY think about it for a moment.

As for "what about if my online connection is down, I won't be able to play games "
You didn't even ask that question, but I'll answer it. Your online is the last thing to go down. The first thing to go down would be your power. If you don't have power, you wasn't about to play your Xbox1, your xbox360, or your Atari 2600 either. When power goes out, I use my phone's internet. We STAY connected. I'm not alone. All this gripe is just US as a society of planet earth moving forward. The same was said when people said the music industry would be totally digital. Whens the last time anyone seen a new CD cover (a pic of one on the internet doesn't count)

Game sharing sounds nice but that online requirement is so fukking stupid

The-Coli.com has an online requirement nobody is complaining about

Spoiler

See how stupid you sound right now (no offense)

Folks, this is how you know someone has no leg to stand on.

The-Coli.com does not require an initial $400-$500 fee to access, does not require expensive software for new experiences either.

You have gone off the deep end. I thought you were bad with the 360 nonsense, but there really is zero logic behind your posts.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

not too bad.

I can't remeber the last time I went 24 hours without an Internet connection.

And all the benefits surely outweigh that requirement. Glad this crap is out of the way, now bring on the games

 

[Swiggy]

Can't pack it up to go camping/travelling/chilling at brother's house or whoever WITHOUT wifi???

Naw man, this is strictly for those ready to live with the limitations

But I made a decision to pay for Gold all these years, so it's not like I was opposed to some of the shyt people hate on Microsoft for

But all this limitations shyt

 

[2gunsup]

Will you be able to play the same game on multiple consoles off your library at the same time?
