uh yeah right, like anyone is gunna fall for that :D

I wana say, "Nice Try Bill G."  Just kiddin'

But I do know Microsoft has much enhanced the security of the Xbox One.  It is thought that is why they didn't allow a removable hard drive - something I quizzed the team about.  (As hard drives are the most common computer component to fail within the first year - and usually easy to replace.)

I think if you only buy game all digital you would still be able to fast swap.  That is what I am planning to do - I will miss going to gamestop. :-/

Anyway, it would be sad to get a launch Xbox One and not play it. 

Really? You do realize that the "way it was meant to be played" means that within the first 24 hours, you'll have to connect to the internet. One can only assume that as soon as you try to connect to the internet, it'll say that there is an update and you need to update it before you're able to play a game. That alone will shatter your dreams of playing the Xbox the "way it was meant to be played." Unless of course you buy a first wave Xbox One and never connect to the internet giving you a whopping 23 hr and 59 min play time until XDA and other hackers find an exploit....Have fun.

Yeah its doubtful but crazier things have happened. Microsoft tends to be very chillaxee when it comes to security for updates they dont find appealing. For example, on windows phone, most carrier or OEM specific updates that lock things down like internet sharing or device specific exploits usually have a backdoor bypass available pretty fast.

Ill be there all digital too when it comes to game purchases, but Id love to rub it in friends faces if my xbox could do full disk installs :)

"Can your Xbox check in every 24 hours?...Hah, I didnt think so."

It wouldnt, hence why im saying youd have to wait for a hack to bypass this patch...which may never come. Regardless your xbox would be a different breed from what will follow even if non functional :)

The only reason they will be worth anything is because they will be customized a bit. I believe the box is detailed with something and so is the controller.

Also given how people act towards achievements that day one achievement you get, if it is a physical code, may be worth a pretty penny if you shop it around that community after a year or 2.

I think Microsoft should find a way to get a share when these valuable consoles will be resold

no you can avoid disk you should avoid disk.... because if the nextbox one 2.0 1080 comes out disk drive less and you require a disk to play your old games well you know what that means.... if backward compatibility is available it will only be true for DD purchase in the current state of things.....

That would work if the server support required for the Xbone to work in its original way exists, which won't.
