Sure, MS never though of implementing that kind of no re-sale policy anywhere /S
Not a shock at all that this is being implemented in china. I can see sony doing the same thing
Definitely a demand from the Chinese authorities.
| alrightiwill said: Sounds like a Chinese thing?Maybe. But to me, it sounds exactly like the 2013 MS E3 press conference. |
The chinese didn't see the 2013 MS E3 conference and the reactions to it. So maybe MS is trying to finally fulfill its dreams !
But it's surely from the chinese government.
Might be a China thing. But because Xbox One has no competition there for the time being, might be a MS thing to make as much money as possible in this virgin market.
Honestly I don't blame them. It's business.
As soon as PS4 release they will probably reverse those thing as long as it really is just a MS thing not China
Region locked?

Posted in: Xbox News
Xbox One’s software in China will contain a single-use activation code, therefore preventing its games from being resold, according to photos posted on the ali213 gaming forums. Chinese Xbox One systems will also be region-locked, according to that same post. This comes as a surprise, as Microsoft was set on reversing its original Xbox One resale policies after its original E3 2013 reveal. The policies applied in China are strikingly similar to those presented at E3 2013 (region lock, no second-hand sales), with the exception of the system always having to be online. There have been no official statements by Microsoft in regards to why they have implemented these policies for Xbox One’s release. It may have to do with the fact that Xbox One is the first gaming and entertainment console approved for sale in China since June 2000, when the country’s minister of culture issued a ban on the sale of video game consoles. Upon its September 23 release, Xbox One will be priced at 3699 chinese yuan, which converts to roughly 600 US dollars. Software will cost between 15 and 40 US dollars.

Wait if you're going to need to activate all games to be able to play them that means the system will have to be connected to the internet pretty much all the time, or at least any time you're getting a new game. Unlucky anyone who doesn't have ready access to the net.

Those people can take a game, scrub off the print on the disc, print something else and sell it as a completely different game if given half the chance. Give it a year, you will start seeing consoles that look inch for inch like an XB1 but is called called the X-DOX WAN. And that runs windows 8. With a skin. |
na, that would be fare to sophisticated. it will run android with a bad bad skin. they cant even clone 16 bit consoles...
