Well put together and some interesting points were made in your post.

But the main problem remains = These regulations shouldn't even existed in the first place! Why are you people defend Microsoft with their decisions???

I can't belive this! Everyone should just boycott the XBOX ONE. Nobody wants their rights to be taken from them but apparently there are people who don't understand this issue!

Stop building an illusion for yourself and get real people. Do NOT let companies like Microsoft do this to you. Do NOT buy their console. You are supporting their decisions with your hard earned money.

in my opinion everybody should take these steps as granted!

  • The Haters: But I can't sell them myself on ebay!
  • The Solution: This is one of the minor issues that doesn't really have a solution. But I also see this as a minor issue to begin with. If you are selling the game to someone you know, they just need to be on your friends list for 30 days. Then you would take their money and give them your game. This is something that could easily be changed/modified later.

Typical "it's not a major issue to me, so get used to it" reponse. Unfortunately, this IS a big deal to me since I routinely sell and trade games on Craigslist. I also don't have any intentions of getting ripped off by "authroized retailers" *coughgamestopcough*. So yes, this "minor issue" as you put it is a dealbreaker for me.

As for it being changed/modified later, let's hope that happens.

Problem is, we shouldn't have to deal with this BS in the first place. It's anti consumer no other way to spin it.

And you can since its your primary console it can be off line for 24hrs  so if your going use it pass that it probably wouldn't be that hard to connect for a min and then disconnect for another 24hrs


But IT'S REALLY NECESSARY? That's the point I'm getting at.

I respect that you don't find those policies too bad, nor I will call anyone who sees no problem with them an idiot, but you've got no business labeling people who find those policies insulting as 'haters'.

My internet works 99% of the time, but I'm still royally pissed at the 24 hour check in...those policies overcomplicate things.In my 'hater'opinion, you should not have to connect to the internet to play single player games.Period.

Nice job. Looks like Microsoft is good to go then.

Microsoft has been working hard to win you back as a customer.

  • The Xbox One requires a "check" to occur once every 24 hours, when gaming. Or once every 1 hour when gaming from a console that is not your own.

 

 

 

 

 


This is the dealbreaker for me, and I ain't no hater. I like to carry my 360 to my friends house (Because they all have Ps3) where I don't want to put up with the hassle of connecting my console to my friend's broadband because no. I can put my 360 with the HDMI cable and the other thing I don't know what its name is that puts the machine onto electricity and that's it.

 

that is your explanation why you have a problem with xbox one? that you would have to connect to the internet at your friends house if you visit him more than 24 hours? (otherwise just connect at your home for 10 seconds before you visit him) and even when you could still use your mobile connection for that?

so, 30 seconds more "work" are the deal breaker for you?  i read a lot of concerns but that is really one i don't get. i mean, therefore you only have to take your consoel with you and not all the games. i would think 30 seoncds more work but therefore less to carry doesn't sound too bad.

Game Sharing

 

  • The Xbox One allows you to play your games from any Xbox as long as you are signed in to your account.
  • It also allows you to share your games with up to 10 "family members" and they will all be able to play those games without needing to buy it. Also, from the way I understand it, you and one of your 10 family members will be able to play the game simulatneously. This may be wrong, but that's the impression I got so far.
  • The Haters: I can't lend my disc to my friend to play!
  • The Solution: While I do not know this for certain, based on what Microsoft will allow you to call a "family member" it seems to me that you can now share games with your circle of friends with ease! While the simultaneous usage may be limited to one or two people at a time (not sure on that detail), you would at least be able to loan your games with 10 people at a time, which is 10x better than loaning your game to one person, and being unable to play that game yourself in the meantime.
  • Some Possible Catches: Probably requires an internet connection and Xbox Live account. See above.

 

 

 

 

 

This to me is curious, why not just advertise this as a main way for you to share and lend your games to friends? Will there be additional charges for this feature? What is the purpose then of having to be able to lend your retail copy only once?

I sense that straw men have invaded the poll options.



crissindahouse on 07 June 2013

btw something i just thought about, how does my console know that 24 hours are over? is that something in the xbox system? isn't that super easy to hack so that the "counter" believes an year is an hour or something?
