That was confusing. So you can link accounts? Can my friend in my house play a game on another console in my house so we can boost? CONFUSING!

hey!

They're holding off details until launch. We'll find out the details of the bill after they've passed it.

Link brought to you by Beavis lol

Rent games off the cloud? Download a 25+ gigabyte game? BWAHAHAFUCKINGHA! It takes me roughly 3 hours to get a 1gig game off of GoG. By the time I get the "rental" DL'd

the time would be expired.

^. According to their press release on the 21st, users would be able to play games as they were downloading... so...

*snort* And I can watch videos while they're buffering too. Well, 15 seconds or so at a time, but technically true.

Besides... Who says the rental has to start when you start downloading?

I downloaded the NCAA 13 early release last year. 7GB. I know I was in WY, but know how long it took? 30 hours. It was a 3-day early release. 30 friggin hours.

So the time that the period begins is important, especially if the assumption is that you can play during download.

The cloud won't work for everyone. The infrastructure can't handle it for everyone. I've been screaming into the abyss about this.

^ agreed. I'm not sure how exactly they can handle all of what they're claiming. Must be some serious server action there. Anyway. Their claim. It was just a thought.

I didn't touch the Cloud for the 360......I don't know why they want to push it so bad with this console.

That link answers nothing Chipp. If anything it simply confirms my previous thoughts. Microsoft is being VERY sneaky with all answers surrounding used games. This ENTIRE

Situation reeks of "preventative damage control". They saw the outrage at the rumors and are ABSOLUTELY desperate to put a spin on it. Used games have gone away methinks.

Yeah i'm coming back to Sonic Free Riders later to finish up those avatar awards.

No, but I've got most all of them in the games I've played except Red Dead.

About 95% of them...

I'll wait till u get one then. I'm not buying one till we see what they're doing w used games. I haven't paid more than $10 for a game in 2 years and don't plan changing

agreed..if they try to block used games ill switch to pc gaming...

Where you can play all the used games you want?

I'm not cheap. I can afford new games.

Dynamic cheevos ftw

I too can afford new games. I just refuse to pay $60 retail and then ANOTHER $60 for DLC (MW3). Not doing it. For me it's a principle thing. Whine and cry by the...

Manufacturers "we don't make any money". Bullshit. If my business didn't make money, I WOULDN'T DO IT. I refuse to give them any more than I already do. Why is there

Always NEW DLC one week after release? Money grubbing bastards. I won't pay.

^If you don't want to support the company's because you think they are being greedy, then don't buy their games.

the name may not be great but it is still better than 720

^ I don't. I buy them used off eBay, and if I do, I usually check first to see how bad they wish to rape me on DLC, and avoid it is going to cost an arm and a leg.

Even with that said. Look at my card. I've spent hundreds on DLC. I'm supporting the industry. I just think $60 for retail and the another $20 later is asking a lot.

That's where you have to decide whether you want the DLC or not. You have all the right to not buy DLC, but don't be angry at them for it.

But... you could just get a smartphone instead.

I have a smart phone..?

I am American, but I'm really slow. I also require an explanation.

Lol. I like the new controller.

Hate about none of my arcade games crossing over, Hate about no backwards compatibility. Hate about 86ing avatars after they got us to like them. Yeah....HATE!!!

I'm just going to stop trying to talk sense in to people bitching about backwards compatibility and laugh at the derp conclusions some of them come to.

They only thing to really be upset about is the used game hassle. That is kind of a dick move. They are punishing an entire community for a few law breakers.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me. It seems to hurt more than help. Not to mention having to register it online. I owned a box for some time without a connection...

My only concern would be when you first buy the console and only have a few select titles to play. That and having to buy games just to use it almost

Other than that, I don't see a problem with no backward compatibility. Just wallets being emptied like hell, ;p

Requiring a connection is difficult for some people... unless they allow you to phone in the code.

As far as backwards compatibility... you have a 360, right?

For backwards compatibility, how many people still play original xbox games on their xbox360?

Exactly.

I dont believe rumors and even if true all.subject to change especially based on consumer feedback and focus groups. I've no doubt it will be great if not

For long wait for good selection of games and high price. I know they make.more money off people who dont care bout achievements but

If that results in more expensive boosting or gaming...die hard will have to work for more $ to game & others may start playing just for fun due to cost. God forbid!

I think a lot of people are overreacting like usual, making assumptions, and reading a lot into side interviews where ms cant show all their cards yet.

It will probably be more clear after e3 and pax, once sony has shown their cards

A good time to join the darkside I suppose.

I play Xbox1 games on the 360 but it was horribly supported and there was shit all supported. Same goes for 720 then screw this shit my 360 is 5 years old it ant lasting

beyond 2014

kinect is for fat people.

So you're not going to buy it because it has extra things on it that you don't have to use?

I'm not going to buy it, based off the announcement today, because it isn't innovative, I don't care about sports games and I like used games.

I'm not hard to please. I buy. :D

They haven't said anything about used games, people really not to stop believing every rumour they hear. Plus it was a reveal, we already know it can play games,

the point of the reveal is to show what else it is capable of. We'll hear more about the gaming aspect at E3

It has been confirmed that every game will be downloaded to your hard drive with a one time install code. So, no used games. And that's why I said "As of now".

Compared to PS4's reveal, which covered games, features and was just overall more innovative. I'm not impressed.

That used game thing was actually confirmed by ms after the reveal, you can find it online.. It's not a rumor.

^

They haven't confirmed exactly what happens with used games, people are jumping to the worst conclusions, I bet it will be more favourable than you expect

Not as good as it is now, granted. But still better than you think it will be.

No this is basically what the new 'used game system' is.. oh so you want to use a game that someone else has used on there system huh? well sir you now exclusively to the

Dan, I agree. That's why I said, "As of now".

xbox one, you will only have to pay the full game price in order to use it on your console. I kinda failed there but you get my meaning.

I want to play the new games. I don't use the apps they have now. I'll buy, and if I like the new frills, I'll use them. If not... then to gaming.

I'm with Sasha. I'm getting it for the games. Fuck TV (got a TV for that!!) & fuck the apps (got a phone for those). Games. Games. Games.

^ Same for me, can't wait to see what they reveal at E3!

KiNG, I agree with you, but I think they were holding off on the more detail info on games for E3. I do agree, I watch TV on my TV, this just doesn't appeal to me so ...

... much, but I do understand what they are trying to do. Not that I like it, but I do understand. I just want to play great games.

Canada is 'up' to you & I!

Agreed lol. Even though I despise the name, I can't wait for this bad boy to come out!!!

I wanna know why nobody is jumping ship for the WiiU!?!? I mean has nobody seen how cool that system is?!? It has waggle!

My guess is because waggle scares people as much as TV & apps!!

I was considering picking up 3 more copies (plus another xbox) of Naruto: The Broken Bond to self-boost to Hokage. And another copy of Halo4...

My reading the the major nelson posts is that you can only INSTALL to one xbox. Any others will need the disc to start.

I thought it said you could install it to as many as you want, but you'll need to buy a new key for any but the original installation.

They have basically gone down the PC gaming route, so the game code will be assigned to your profile. Can see why EA ditched online passes now..

its seems like its xbox version of steam

I agree with Rhy. Sounds like your friends can play it on your system, you can even take it to their house but only you can play it.

Essentially discs will become XBLA games. It's the old PC one-time-code deal. Oh yeah, and they can revoke your license at any time.

Looks like I'll only be needing one console and one tag! (Except for region-locked games.) Saves me money.

Not sure about the friends playing it on yours. It looks like it's account-locked. You can play it on theirs, but only if you sign in your profile.

Thing is this can't be the reason EA did away with passes because ps4 isn't doing this so EA will still have the used game problem

Unless EA is going MS exclusive...

Doubt they are that stupid

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-05-22-phil-harrison-tries-again-to-clarify-game-ownership-second-hand-sales-and-always-online-in-xbox-one

I have a hunch they will have something worked out at least for a second xbox in the household, but we will see sometime when it is closer to market.

That article makes things more confusing, and with this online crap, what about people who don't have Internet ur gonna lose lots of consumers this way

Read the press releases please! you can play on any console you want provided it has your gamertag on it. You stream the game from the cloud!

Also, if someone borrows your game, they have the option to install it and pay for it. If not they will have limited access, basically a time-limited demo.

You know they want your money so they will do everything they can to get it.

I never read that they get limited access, even Xbox support on twitter said nothing had been said about used games other than they will allow it and more will about late

I don't know, because where can you go from "Infinity"? Infinity +1, of course, but with One they can start fresh with their new "All in One" mantra.

Of course, the generation after will be difficult because if they call it Xbox Two, they'll need a silly tagline like "Two-gether as One". Hmm... What's their number? ;)

Thank God they didn't call it a 720. I can now rest easy. Well. On that matter anyway.

I'd like a new GH game too...but not as badly as you guys...

^ This guy.

I wish they would keep making guitar heros like gh3 with just the guitar and bass. and you can play with the controller.

amen!

He will know once he buys his Xbox one!

Yep. Till then i've just got to live pondering over it for hours on end

zero backwards compatibility

Sounds like Legend oh wait he has got a cat.

Looks like he doesn't understand the colloquial meaning of pussy and is pounding the wrong thing.

I heard he let's his cat sit on his face.

And licks it like an ice cream.

I need terre to buy the new xbox to see if he can break it.

Is it technology? Yes, then he can break it, its only a matter of how long it'll take, minutes, hours, seconds?

Thats sumthin, but im still watching the reveal, so lets see what Microsoft got up their sleeve!

Still waiting for the confirmation of backwards compatibility and GS.

Love dem specs!

Xbox = 1, 360 = 2 and One = 3? Only at Microsoft...! :)

Mixed feelings about a new controller. I want to be able to use my chat pad, but it looks like it won't fit.

Yeah...i would've been fine with 'Xbox' over Xbox One.

I'm not a movie/TV guy, so I don't care about those features. Not a COD or Forza fan so those teasers didn't do anything for me aside from their

beautiful graphics. Hope they didn't fuck up the controller feel. LOVE the current one. Hope the integrated Kinect isn't mandatory for certain features.

I'm 40, I just wanna sit on my ass with my controller, not wave at myself on TV each time I want new options. With all that said,

still a day one purchase for me, but that's because (as my wife will tell you) I have a POWERFUL gaming addiction.......

It didn't look like you needed to wave anymore. Just talk.?

Pretty sure the intent was "All in One" box. Hence, Xbox One. Come on.. not even a little credit for attempting to be crafty? lol

^Exactly Dark!!!

I thought I was the only 40 year old over here. Nice to hear from another elder! :)
