An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360

Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360

In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.

Lizink?

A complete 180 then, lol. I guess they didnt like those pre-order numbers after all.

Anyway, great news for gamers out there! Especially Xbox fans who were on the fence about getting one.

Is this unprecedented in the video game industry? Has there ever been such a dramatic (and rapid) about-face?

Positive to say at least: MS is *not* anti-consumer, they listened to the crowd. I had no problem with their stuff but would also be ok with the same as 360 does.

more likely they listened to the pre-order numbers. no sales = no money.

Or you spin it this way, yes. It's still the consumer who makes the difference.

very true. it's just a-fucking-mazing how fast the changes came. regardless of the spin -- it takes a lot of balls to admit when your wrong and change. soo much props to MS for doing this!!!

Fuck everyone that said we couldn't change this, that this was the future of gaming. Fuck everyone that said it was an inevitability and vgchartz, gaf, facebook, ign whatever were just a vocal minority of 'core' gamers. Our incessant 'whining' did this, the same thing so many complained about and tried to silence. We did it.

I do have to say that this was like the most fun thread we had in a long while.. the rumor.. the waiting.. the bits popping up.. and then the confirmation.. and all that in 1 hour..

shoutout to Nsanity! he's the true MS hero this site deserves

I add more...

Every fans from any console were in this thread hoping for the GOOD news.

That was the most optimist thread from MS this year... no negativity.
