why have you been a member since 2011 and yet just started posting today?
Yeeeeep.Another shitty point: "We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers"
So that means that I'm at the publisher's mercy to be able to use this system in the first place? So EA says no I'm stuck with the games for good? Is that it?
Is this even legal for Gamestop? Seems like antitrust issues all up in this bitch.
This spin in this info page is quite remarkable.
I live in Miami Beach and we already have 18 tropical storms announced for the year from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 4 of those expected to become hurricanes and 3 to make landfall. I don't think this console is for me.
Gamestop is still getting fucked over though.
I can buy PC games for $1 like Alan wake. PC gaming with steam is WAY WAY WAY cheaper then anything MS has shown they are willing to do.
No its the same exact policy as their 360 policy. You won't be able to play the games at the same time anyway.So let me get this straight: Nine of my friends and I, can share an account, and if each of us buys 2 games. I would end up with 18 games?
Soo that's roughly 20 million who don't use live at all? And what percentage of the people who use live are always connected or connect to live every single day?
It's even worse, because you could only trade it in to a participating retailer aka only GameStop. Kiss mom and pop game stores goodbye.Another shitty point: "We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers"

But he has a point. Generally I used to use Amazon for the best individual trade in values.It's 100% true. I just tried to sell a handful of games to Gamestop about 2 months ago, for the first time in years. They wanted to give me next to nothing, like $1 for Arkham Asylum, and so on.
I took the exact same stack down the street to my local store and got 5x as much for it, and they're a small local shop and not a franchise.
I feel like Microsoft just "red weddinged" us.
No. This is amazing for them.
No fees for them and competition gets shut down. This is like the best thing ever for them.
Playing devil's advocate, because I hate to see the overreaction:
-I can almost guarantee they will work out rental deals with redbox, blockbuster, gamefly, etc. They would be foolish to leave money on the table.
-Put a piece of tape over the kinect sensor if you don't want MS to see you in your underwear. It's not like they'll be recording you on some server. relax.
-24 hours of offline play: If your internet is down for more than 24 hours get a new provider. My PC is always online and that's where I game the most. You're not taking the xbox out of your house to go camping so what is the problem?
-You can still trade a game to a friend. Once it's theirs, who cares what happens to it next. And there will still be avenues to sell your games. Amazon, gamestop, CeX... they'll all be there.
-Sharing all your games among 10 people = amazing. I can see 10 of my gaming friends and I working out a system of who buys what. That's 9 less games we each have to buy. Makes up for the lack of trade-in.
No trade-ins for 3 months is going to fuck up their used business.
I'm not surprised that GameStop appreciates Microsoft's gift. Killing GameStop's competition is quite a task.
Maybe that was the plan all along? LOL
Spread rumors about how terrible it was actually going to be, then scale back a bit so it looks better than it really is.
I feel like Microsoft just "red weddinged" us.
they claim they aint getting a fee on those resells, so what exactly is the point of partecipating retailers? What do they gain from it?
Wasn't Alan Wake on sale on Xbox recently for like, $4?
This has to be the biggest shitstorm I've ever seen, and for good reason.
Is there anything salvageable out of this mess?
Potential Xbox One Family Account Exploit
---------------------------------------------
- Jerry and Richard link their accounts as family
- Jerry buys action games
- Richard buys RPG games
- (Jerry and Richard become the "Prime Family Member" if you like - the one that can play anytime.)
- They both have access to each other's accounts
- They can split game costs with some organisation
Is this possible? I mean, I won't buy one, but maybe that's an exploit people can use.

Wait, what? Where's this? I don't see this anywhere.
You know what happened to that?
You can STILL authorize MSN music WMA files. To this day
The problem is that you're a shill account.
ugh. It's not at launch. That means you can't when you buy an X1 this Holiday. It's not premature.Yea I think it's premature to say we can't rent a game.
