XBOX ONE requires a fee to play used games. And if the game is new the fee is $60!

it's probably not always on. It's probably like steam which requires it to be activated.

And like steam the games will be cracked.

If you wanted to let your friend borrow it couldn't you just give him your account? and you play games on his? Thats what I do with my brother on steam all the time.

If the Xbox reads your Blu Rays and can tell if its used or not how can it not be online? I just read a report that says the game locks up with Xbox Live and has manidtory installs.

If it's like steam, it uses the steam service to authenticate the install. And then it doesn't need to be authenticated anymore if you want to play in offline mode (Which also means no multiplayer). It would require online, to activate. But, not necessarily to play.

I have no idea if that's what xbox is using. But, that would be my guess, because console digital distribution and PC boxed and digital follows that model mostly. 

If they stop me from bringing my games to my friends house for game night they can screw themselves.

Assuming all of this is accurate, you would have to log into your Live account on your friends console. The license is tied to your acount.
