have to mail them/carry them with me, plus family sharing would have allowed 2 gamers off of one copy, that will have gone too

If they'd wanted to fix it all they'd have needed to do was to say if the disk is in the drive you can play it, otherwise DRM rules apply and best of both worlds *doh*

I agree with what you say. I'm happy specially for being a región-free console and not having to connect it every 24 hours. Everything else was better the new way

Yeah region free is convenient but I must admit I liked the exclusivity that came with region locking :p But yeah for the 24 hour thing, they should have had it that if

you have the disk in the drive, no need to connect, solved! :D

I'm confused...

SHMUPS!!! Here i come!!!

So many games for you to start. Overload.

Too bad they won't making anymore Jap games since Japan is out of this generation (at least for now).

: D

Greatest day ever!

It really is lol

I'll love to see retrocompatibility at least for arcades though. But sounds sweeeeeeet!!!!

Now all they need to do is say, "Hey you know about that little island call Japan? Yeah, we are releasing our console their... Peace".

Am I the only one annoyed to have this taken away... Means I can no longer share my games with people, can no longer access my games no matter where I am without having

to carry a disk and various other drawbacks, people just didn't get it imo, but really going to miss that family sharing feature...

I don't share or play in other places, so it doesn't affect me at all. I think that is the case for most.

I'd have thought most people share/lend games out to mates or if more causal, take them around to mates houses, this would have been easier

It would have saved me so much money not to have to mail out games to people all the time when I lend them a game

Even though I've played a lot, I sell them right away, but I see what you mean in your case.

Ahh fair enough, yeah I keep everything and lend them to friends etc, I own around 1000 retail games and have played less than a 1/4 of that so someone may as well be

using them, and then they recommend to me which ones to play :) It would have depended really on what the trade in price was for people who sell

Sucks, I liked the new policies

I love xbox 180 hahaha

it sounds catchier lol XD

region free xbox one! yupiiiiii

LOL classic!

what did it say?

Well according to the websites that could get at it, no more always online and that the discs will be handled like the 360. Used/loan/trade-in etc

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The pre-order numbers must have been enough to scare MS. Too little, too late for me. Not changing the PS4 pre-order.

Also no region lock?

ya i saw that too. hmmmmm interesting.

HAHA! And the gamer wins. Personally I don't mind the always online for some stuff, but not even being able to play a SP game without it is way too much.

Now I am pissed, because the virtual sharing is going away. That part was fucking awesome. Actually, the gamer doesn't win.

This is sweet, sweet news. Now if only they would announce that the corporate puppet Don Mattrick is 'moving on'....

Q: Will Xbox One allow players to trade in, purchase and play pre-owned games? A: We are designing Xbox One to enable customers to trade in and resell games.

We'll have more details on that later.WHAT "details"? Either it will allow used games or not.

Wow. Might have to switch my preorder. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/06/rumor-microsoft-set-to-reverse-controversial-game-licensing-policies/

that is from the page without the update.

FragEm, MS did a total reverse. The One will allow used games just as the 360 does.

DoT, I just copy and pasted the Q&A from the news page. Why the need to share more details later if the policy is the same as the 360? I hope future "details" don't

mess things up for everyone.

Nevermind. I was reading an older "update". New one I read is clear as a bell. Too bad M$ only did this to keep up with Sony and not for their customers.

http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/updateis the official link from MS... looks like MS is listening...

I'll take it lol

From the president himself.. Don Mattrick....http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/update

I also saw that now that Sony is charging for PSN some countries can't have online MP http://www.gamesreviews.com/news/06/ps4-online-blocked-for-countries-without-a-store

Futiles : They didn't say the sharing would go away though so maybe that will stick around

This is starting to look really good. But not sure if they're backing down or all that happened since day one has been part of a marketing program

Actually they did "These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today"

Well, making you think that they are backing down can be part of a marketing program. I love conspiracies, just like the dude at my gamerpic :)

It isn't a conspiracy, Xbox.com is updated, and the presser says digital versions cannot be shared.

You're obviously not understanding what I'm saying but no worries. It's difficult for me to explain in english. Anyway I'm happy to see how the Xbox One will be

Conspiracy theory #13: The original hardware that set restrictions will remain inside the system. Restrictions will return in a mandatory update after major console sales

@herb, So you think they are lying to get people to buy the console and when you get the console it will still be the same as before they made this announcement?

^^^It is possible...but unlikely.

Nope, I think that they just tried to make people talk about the console, even if it was for bad, because they knew how the gamming community will react to the

annoucement of the first news we had about the console. Now that everyone is talking about the Xbox One, they say they're changing most of the things

and do it the way that most of the community will like. Not sure if it makes sense, will like to elaborate but not in the comments section and is hard for me in english.

I think is just a well thought movement by MS marketing. Is always better to go from bad news to good, rather tan from good news to bad. This last thing is what

is going to happen to Sony, as they have based all the advertisement on talking shit about the Xbox One.

So, other discless features won't work. Instant switching and smart match making are both likely gone

I think as long as you are online the cloud features are there, except for what involved licensing.

The doctor is saying any publicity is good publicity. And I want my game consoles to play games first anyway.

@Ryot, right, play games first, like playing Dead Rising 3 while your BF4 lobby loads up and preps the match, then instant jumping over when ready. Dead feature

Not necessarily a dead feature. Could still work with content that IS purchased digitally. So you could play a XBLA game while waiting for that BF4 lobby.

That is awesome if true..that means they are listening
