Down time in the last 5 years?

1 hour about 4 years ago.







Don't buy used games unless you like price hikes. Don't bother selling yours either.

I dont and I dont... so no worries there

I dont need the cash.


Then enjoy. Dont get angry at others  who don't like the first-sale doctrine to be screwed with. As an American I treasure it. MS has no right to profit off of resale.



Around the Network

Waiting for Kinect to be hacked and provide the net with tons of genuinely unaware amateur porn.

A fart without stink is like a sky without stars.

.. After this confirmation.. PS4 is looking mightily attractive along side my wiiU !...

but.. ill wait to see if Sony will beat MS with this amazing announcement!!..

who will win the most disappointing console award at this years E3?? =D



 

- Loaning or renting games won’t be available at launch

ie. We have been totally caught unaware by how much people hated the old system so we are coding a solution.
This will take us more than 6 months coz we have the coding skills of an elementary school dropout.

So I can access my whole library at every Xbox One out there, just by logging in with my account and without any discs?

A-W-E-S-O-M-E !

 

And people with 18.000 posts on a gaming forum complaining about connecting the console to the internet can not be taken seriously. I am sorry.

 

Actually this is very good news. VERY GOOD.


Im sure being told you're restricted is a great thing...somehow. Enjoy it.

Seriously, the "thank you sir, may I have another" mentality of many of my fellow gamers is disheartening to say the least. (see the first quote of my sig)

I guess I should look at it this way; whoever is actually willing to buy an Xbone,  DESERVES it..

This might be the first time i have agreed with you 100 percent, the times are a changing.

likewise.

people here need to stop bullying people whose path they dont like.

allow people to enjoy what they want.


Confront those who are. If you want the Xbox One, bless you...enjoy it.

Thats barely a fix as it is.

Licensing

- Play any of your games from any Xbox One console after signing in and installing
- This is possible because a copy is also stored in the cloud
- Share game access with everyone inside your home
- Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One
- “We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers. Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games.”
- Publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends
- There are no fees charged as part of these transfers
- Requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once
- Microsoft Studios will enable you to give your games to friends or trade in your Xbox One games at participating retailers
- Third party publishers may opt in or out of supporting game resale and may set up business terms or transfer fees with retailers
- Microsoft does not receive any compensation as part of this
- Third party publishers can enable you to give games to friends
- Loaning or renting games won’t be available at launch

So basically EA can block you from doing those things.

The fun never ends...



its simple for me.......

NO RESTRICTIONS -OR- NO XBOX ONE
