Chances are, these answers are obvious but for whatever reason I just missed them or whatever.

 

1:Voice control is not the only to navigate menus is it? I saw someone ask the question "what if the person can't speak?"

2: What exactly was the point of adding a heartrate monitor to the system and how exactly does it work?
I love the muscle stress thing. But the Heartrate thing does seem to be taking it a step too far, maybe it's just me but that is my biggest discomfort with the One.

3. From my understanding (please correct if wrong): Disc games install once to your system and then can be played from the system without the disc. The question is; If that's the case, won't it be easier for me to just buy the game from XBL and cut out the middle man?

3b. There's so many things out there about used games on the One that it's hard to get any sense from it. Assuming the above is true, does this mean that a scenario could happen where you buy a pre-used disc from GAME (or whereever) for say... £10, take it home but can't use it because the system wants you to pay the full £40 that's the original asking price. so technically, there's a situation where you end up spending more for a 2nd hand copy of a game than you would the first hand. Which I guess is just the same as the question in 3A. Would it be easier to just cut out the middle man and buy from XBL?

1) Meh... If someone cannot speak... He will use the controller.


2) Fitness and other game like that :)


3) Yes you are right. Microsoft is basicaly embrassing the digital age finally. But I think that if you are like me, I love to "own" the disk even if I have to put it only once in the tray to install (and I will actually enjoy this feature).


4) Well, from my undestanding : this is not as bad as it sound. And the only thing people are losing is the ability to "trade" game with friend. But for the rest, you will have many possibilities. Like selling back this game at Gamestop like before; they will just need to go on MS website and de-register the game, pay some bucks to the publisher/MS and resell it for their own price (and then when you are back home you register it like a new game, no need to pay). Or you will be able to sell it online on Microsoft store (this is just a rumor and NOTHING is confirmed but I believe that Microsoft will go for that eventually; which is very cool).
