What's the logic behind waiting 30 days?
Effectively prevents private sales and kills the possibility of a bona fide used game market in any form.
What's the logic behind waiting 30 days?
You mean just like you can do now?Being able to play all my games at a friends house sounds pretty nice
So I can't even give one of my games to a friend, if a publisher doesn't allow it?
They're MS's top internet mouthpiece, let them work.
With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies.
Holy fuck.
If Sony pulls any of this shit, I'm done with gaming.
How can anyone OK with this?
To those who are OK with this, you sure you read this right? MS basically show massive middle finger to you consumer and you are 'OK'?
I'm going to guess that while multiple family members can play a given game, only one can play at a time. Hopefully someone in the media asks that question.Is that true?
And with that, I am never visiting Polygon ever again.

Sony has said the exact same thing.
I've never needed broadband to play any of my games.

lol... people are really not getting it. YOU COULD DO THAT BEFORE! Just bring the goddamn games to your friends place. Now you'll have to log in, download em and once you're logged out, he won't be able to play it anymore
Can someone clarify? I find it confusing. =/Sorry for being an idot.
No renting, no loaning. No private sales (unless selling to someone who has been on your friends list for 30 days)
Console Checks in Every 24 hours (require Internet connection)
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 it is stuck with them.
Up to 10 family members can play your games from any console at any time.
Do not want.
I seriously do not understand how some of you think it's fine.
Its actually much better than i thought even if it still shitty
arguments like this are reminding me more and more of 'Sony will charge for online play eventually... MS makes BANK. Sony would not leave all that $$ on the table!' and 8 years later PSN is STILL paywall FREE...
if Sony is restricting USED game and ha DRM, Sony employees rallying behind the #NoDRM initiative would be ridiculously counterintuitive... LOL
Xbox One E3 Conferrence |OT| Game publishers can enable you...
I believe you're wrong on that one.
How would they limit a number of people that can access your shared library to ten then?
It seems you allow certain other accounts to access your library.
doesn't sound bad
So I can't even give one of my games to a friend, if a publisher doesn't allow it?
Tell me how that isn't a positive? If I can share my entire library with 9 other people regardless of where they are (similar to Amazon Prime), how is that a bad thing? Obviously I think Microsoft is leaving something out that will make it more restrictive than it sounds, but as its written its better than anything we've had.
Nope.Is that true?
Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friends house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.
Microsoft said it is "exploring the possibilities" of allowing users to loan or rent games, but those features wouldn't be available at launch.
Congrats MS, you've made a console for Scumbag Steve.
I like the family shit. Now me and my son don't have to buy two copies of CoD to play online. Good shit.
