Recommended Posts

Thank goodness you found this DocSpartan! Lol.

I still think everyone's going to rage against this..

But let all the people who are against this rage while they can. lol.

I think that they are doing a great job on trying to get fans back...

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?

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.

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 :)

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..."

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....

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. :P

 


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.

I read that same thing earlier! Sad to say but PS4 is looking a lot better atm. I never thought MS would screw up so early.

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 :)

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.
