[diggy]

I merged these threads BTW, shyt was kinda clogging up the page with the same topics with different titles

Xbox Support:

"We're gathering details on the specifics. We'll have clarification soon."

seems like they didnt actually know when they were asked.

Go back and read the wired report. Microsoft contacted them to let them know their article was incorrect.

there is no fee for a used game. obviously if you need a serial number to activate the disc are useless with out that serial so the process one obtains a serial is the price of a used game. nobody is gonna pay a person to purchase an unplayable disc then pay for a serial number.

Why the fukk would Microsoft be going around correcting articles if it was true?

Why the fukk is the only place reporting that a site nobody ever heard of?

They didn't really correct it though. Just said that they'll get into specifics later.


Personally it sounds like Phil Harrison had diarrhea of the mouth and spoke about shyt too soon. To insinuate that Wired pretty much "made up" an interview with Phil is what you're saying. We both know that is bullshyt.

They didn't make up an interview but they filled in the spaces with speculation.

Other respected websites are not reporting it because its not official info.

Phil didn't specify what "account" means and he didn't specify whether the fee will be needed just to play the game or if its only needed if you want to sell it.

They already said your games and account will follow you over the cloud, so there would be no need for fees of physical discs when you want to play your games at someon else's house.

The place that started the rumor has an update. And most respected websites aren't reporting this, I wonder why

Now we know why EA got rid of online passes. I told ya'll there was some fukkery involved. Let's up that thread to see who turned out right

So now WIRED isn't respected? (this aint Kotaku)

And that quote doesn't sound like something you "fill in the blanks with"....

I said OTHER. As of right now it's unofficial information. When Microsoft declares it either way then we can talk.

 

[Grand Conde]

The incompetence of Microsoft is astonishing.

Kotaku: If I’m playing a single player game, do I have to be online at least once per hour or something like that? Or can I go weeks and weeks?

Harrison: I believe it’s 24 hours.

Kotaku: I’d have to connect online once every day.

Harrison: Correct.

Ok they're obviously bullshytting now

But what if you want to bring a game disc to a friend's house and play there?
You'll have to pay a fee—and not just some sort of activation fee, but the actual price of that game—in order to use a game's code on a friend's account. Think of it like a new game, Harrison says.

"The bits that are on that disc, you can give it to your friend and they can install it on an Xbox One," he said. "They would then have to purchase the right to play that game through Xbox Live."

"They would be paying the same price we paid, or less?" we asked.
"Let’s assume it’s a new game, so the answer is yes, it will be the same price," Harrison said.

the fukk is the point of even buying a disc at this point
