Its all there. Everything about the online connections, used games and Kinect.

  • Every Xbox One owner has a broadband connection
  • Console needs to be checked in every 24 hours
  • 1 hour if youre on a seperate console, accessing your library
  • Offline gaming not possible after the above time requirements, though TV, Blu-ray and DVDs are still watchable
  • No rentals
  • Used games determined by publisher, at certain retailers only
  • Can "give" a game to a friend who has been on your friends list for 30 days, can only be done once
  • YOU are in control of what Kinect can see and hear
Just a few points, the rest can be found at the links in the link.

1) [You must connect to the internet every] 1 hour if youre on a seperate console, accessing your library
2) Used games determined by publisher, at certain retailers only

Those two seem the most disheartening.

You should summerize yours.



Am I reading it right in that you can only loan your game to a friend once?

To clarify because I don't think the OP is clear. Each game can be given away for free to a friend once.

I think the real killer is the "1 hour on other consoles" thing.  If only for people who want to own multiple Xbox Ones.  (Unless they give an option for that.)

 

What with it being a TV box.

While youre here, can you lock this please? Nsanity's thread was first.



                            

Terrible but we knew already. I hope gamers vote with their wallets.



"Used games determined by publisher, at certain retailers only"

So, the same as Sony?



Nintendo and PC gamer

Now Xbox delusional fans (obviously not those at VGchartz ;) )wont have nothing else to do that admit this is true.
