There's always a way of getting around things like that. But the damage is done and the costumer's trust is broken.

No, if it becomes pirate proof it jusmeans pirates would "support" the other two consoles.

Developers will buy into this and support the console. Even if their is piracy, developers won't mind so much. They are still making out in the end with the legit pre-owned sales. Currently, to them, a pirated game and a pre-owned sale mean the same. Smaller devs will remain in business. God rest your soul, Working Designs.

I'm all for it. Plus, zero game disc swapping and I can go anywhere and play my game on any Xbox One without worrying about my discs getting messed up. I hate letting friends borrow game discs. So, this will give me a reason to not let people borrow games.

Your friends are probably 10 years old or younger who messed up your discs. For us older gamers with mature friends who actually exchange games this is a big problem.

And that will bring even more control.

I think the only reason why MS is doing this cause piracy was so rampent on the 360 at one point that they banned over a million consoles. If thats the reason why i cannot blame MS for doing this, people need to learn they cannot have everything free. We live in a capitalist society and people need to realize that.

But anyways i really hate this used game crap.

Nope. If anything it will break the record for earliest homebrew and even earliest emulator released. Hell, who knows we could even see an X1 emulator for the PS4 - perhaps the code will be absolutely the same haha.

No, the code won't be the same, haha, because, haha, the system-architecture differs quite a lot.

But I would like to the Xbox One open - it could be the perfect machine for emulators. Dolphin, pcsx2, and all gaming-systems released before Wii, except Xbox 1.
