Sorry man...while game is isntalled, disks have to be in the tray.

These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray. 

And yeah this is complete BS. People don't realize how ass backwards console gaming will be next gen cause of this. Actually hope Microsoft makes you everyone buy the Xbox and flips the switch 3 years into the console cycle. 

It makes sense.

You don't want a disc? buy digital.

But I want the freedom to do what I want with the physical media I purchase.

What freedom are you looking for?

You bought a physical media and would like to share it with a friend who lives a 20 minute car ride away? You want the freedom to choose a curier to his house? FedEx or UPS?

I bought a digital game and would like to share as well...no freedom for me.

You don't want freedom, you want to be able to buy used and resell and not pay full price.

This sucks. I really loved the install and forget system idea. Also being able to share games with my brother that live half way across the country.

Thanks a lot guys!

Not bitter but disspaointed...

Otherwise shouldn't your internet be down or something? You're posting way too much for someone that can't have a stable internet connection.

You know. I have very mixed feelings about this.

I think the two biggest issues MS had were not their ideas, but:
1) PR. FIRE YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING PR STAFF (And tell your Support Guys to not answer questions that they do not understand!)
2) The way they went about these changes. Gradual is the way to go. Digital is the future. Slowly push us that direction but do not force it down our throats.

I hope they slowly transition into the Digital Age and do not completely abandon this (and Im hoping Sony follows suite, which I think they will)

This is a win for game fly and me. Most people I know are PS gamers so the friends/family sharing thing probably would not help me much. Wooo for game fly!

Freedom to do exactly what I want with. Share, give, resell... whatever I want. All that is far more important to me than ease of sharing with someone far away.

Furthermore you want to share cost with 10 people and not pay full price. Don't get all preachy with me.

You were just on the FAR FAR minority on this.

MS obviously came to conclusion that this whole online check-in business would hurt them a lot at the end, if they decided to suddenly drop it now.

Plus, I somehow suspect publishers might not have been too happy about it either - it seems to me that those 10 people would be buying much less new games in total with that approach than the current one.
