Still sounds like no used games. And I just read that live tv on xbox one will require an additional "supported receiver device with HDMI output" sold separately.

Things aren't looking good for MS right now. This blocking used games made me totally change my mind on the system. I have 2 360's at home and often go back and forth between them. I don't want to have to pay a fee to do that or have to keep moving the system back and forth.


Why would you have to pay a fee if you go back and forward between 2 systems.  As stated, if you are logged into your account then the game will run no matter what machine you use.

If it does work that way, then you would definitely need internet connection. How else would you be able to use your user account on another system without it? I guess that would also mean that user accounts are no longer tied to hard drives themselves, which means you would also need internet just to log into any device. 

Edit: And also, what are your thoughts on possibly having to buy another device for live tv functionality?


Yes, you will need an internet connection in order to play your game only another system.  The game wll no longer be tied to a physical console but instead to your account.  

For the Live TV needing another device, I always though it would be this way.  The Xbox one is not a TV receiver so you will need a device to get the TV signal weather its a Cable box or your TV has a Tuner and can output that signal through HDMI out.
