Popular Post DocSpartanO07 Posted June 7, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Today I received an Email from GameStop with some info about the Xbox One and how used and shared games will work. Here is a screen shot of the actual info in the email. I will let you guys decide what to make of it. I think its good news. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaxx Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Good move by Microsoft. Hopefully a lot of the complaints (including my own) will subside from this good piece of information. Thanks for sharing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Thank goodness you found this DocSpartan! Lol. I still think everyone's going to rage against this..

Now only if they'll do more fan wanted things to get me interested in it. Well, I get that there had to be a way to keep people from just installing a game a million times for everyone in town.....that's just not good business, but it looks like they found a really cool way to work this out. Any game you own, shared with family/friends? Heck yeah, I wont have to buy two copies of Halo 5 so me and the kids can play in two different rooms or where ever the heck they are now...too easy. Of course people will still hate MS, because MS didn't give them what they wanted when they wanted it... Didn't I say a while ago to relax and wait for more info? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckoningZebra1 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Will this be a separate account away from your gamer tag or is it gamer tag locked? But what I'm really sayin I guess is if I get Halo 5 and I let my friend get it to, will we be able to play online together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Shadowz Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'll just take this as the "I told you so" moment and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is not JL Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Well I kinda knew that for some time now but glad to see that NOW it starts affecting people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhevaKins Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 That whole things was total damage control because they couldn't come up with any good answers during their presentation. And I think it sounded a wee bit condescending.But other then that this is good news. However this whole cloud dealo can't really work successfully everywhere, especially in Australia. Lets just say aussie internet isn't the greatest. But all in all the.. 'rules', i guess, are fairish.When the PS 3 came out wasn't there this thing were anyone could download the DLC of a game from a friends profile then install it and play with their own profile, essentially making it so everyone could just give the DLC away. I think Xbox is trying to preemptively stop that kind of thing happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Of Harts Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Even if there were some problems with it, hey! Nothing's perfect All I'm concerned about is the quality of the games. Good games make a games console worth buying for me. If the games are the best I've ever played, then the Xbox One will be the best console I ever owned. That's the way most people should think in my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DN2012 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 So wait, we can buy used games? Phew, I was worried... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Sounds good but not great... Was hoping they would say, "The Xbox One will be just like the Xbox 360 just with, high quality parts and materiel's, better sound card, and graphics card, better Kinect, and a Next Gen Blu-Ray disc drive..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldkeyes Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 CONFIRMED:-24 hour DRM. (Console checks in once every 24 hours online)-1 hour DRM if not using home console.-Mandatory Kinect.-No renting, no loaning. No private sales (unless selling to someone who has been on your friends list for 30 days)-Internet connection required.-Trade-ins are up to the publisher and only at "participating" retailers.+You can give a game to a friend only if they have been on your friends list for 30 days, and then only ONCE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSpartanO07 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 CONFIRMED: -24 hour DRM. (Console checks in once every 24 hours online) -1 hour DRM if not using home console. -Mandatory Kinect. -No renting, no loaning. No private sales (unless selling to someone who has been on your friends list for 30 days) -Internet connection required. -Trade-ins are up to the publisher and only at "participating" retailers. +You can give a game to a friend only if they have been on your friends list for 30 days, and then only ONCE. Yes the Kinect has to be plugged in, but can be disabled. Yes the Console has to connect every 24 hours No renting or loaning as of right now, but they ay they are working on it Participating retailers, However MS says they will not charge anyone a fee for used games. This means a used game shop has to participate in the way MS will handle the turning in a selling of used games. Now the giving a game away only once thing is kinda weird...but all in all, none of this will really affect me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Games can only be given once? So you can't pass it back and forth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSpartanO07 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Games can only be given once? So you can't pass it back and forth? Yeah, I know. Its annoying... But the ten people on your friends list can play whatever, whenever. I do like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Talk Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I heard they were charging for used games, anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelda Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I am not convinced. Sound more like MS is taking a step back in horror as all their fans were eagerly awaiting to see what's new on the PS4. And here is a couple of very amusing quote's I just found. 10:44 p.m.: Tretton specifically says PS4 "won't stop working if you haven't authenticated within 24 hours." Direct shot at Microsoft.10:42 p.m.: Tretton says there will not be any used game restrictions on PS4 games. Tons of applause. And with that, Sony may have won over many video game fans. PS. - The website I found it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocSpartanO07 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I heard they were charging for used games, anyone confirm this? well, what I posted says no...and that came directly from MS. You can find a ton of info and real answers to a lot of questions on the Xbox and MS sites. Just look hard and read the fine print Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallen Legend Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Ok. a message from GameStop can't tell ****, the only way to find out is wait for the Xbox one to come out and test the theory yourself, as I have preordered it at eb games it doesn't make a huge difference between who thinks it is a theory or if it is just common knowledge. If it does have that feature I will be surprised as I watched the new generation reveal and the e3 unveil of their games. Tv he only game to look forward to for all halo fans is halo 5 which is being released on Xbox One next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
