Xbox One

Oh wait; you think waiting 30 days is bad? From what I read on EuroGamer; things only get worse.

Contrary to what Zero posted above[1]; if an authorized person is playing a game you own via the Cloud on another XBOX One console, only they can play it. You can not play a game at the same time as someone else is using that same install via the Cloud on another console.

Also, if you play on another XBOX One with your account, you must sign into the internet every hour instead of the usual 24 hours. This means basically you may as well be always online if you don't use your own XBOX One.

What I wonder is; what happens when the console breaks down and the consumer has to go out & purchase another one? Does the consumer have to remain online every hour for all the games they had on the old console in order for it to work? O-o

Cause if so; dood that would so SUCK! D:

The worst part that you posted imo, is not being able to play YOUR OWN GAME at a time your friend is playing it digitally to try it out. What if you had a huge group of friends wanting to play the game as well? You'd have to wait of course, you may not be able to play your game for a pretty long time. Kinda ruins the point of being able to digitally share your games with friends at all.

Also, you'd only be able to play each game you own once if you got a new console right? Or you'd just have to buy new games. It's like Microsoft doesn't actually want us to buy the Xbox One, all the info they keep releasing just makes it seem more terrible.

Well impo it comes off as MS wants the consumer base to 'suck it up' and purchase new games weather their consumer base has the money for it or not is none of their concern.

Ughn.. MS is so far out of touch with what consumers really want that it's like they're all from Mars speaking to us from their $10,000 mansions cause they're all swimming in money so too should their consumer base.

Just thought every one on TNFS should know that Microsoft has since back peddled on their policies: http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/19/tech/gaming-gadgets/xbox-drm/index.html

Personally I don't believe it but the proof will be in the pudding when the ONE releases or whatev.

Well, there is still something they're changing for the worse. Downloaded Xbox Live games cannot be shared at all now, according to the article. I can't remember if Microsoft said anything about them not being able to be shared before, but they can't be now.

Also, "Also, disc-based games must have the disc inside the console to play." Who do they think is reading this article.

The release date for the Xbox One has been officially announced, November 22nd, 2013.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the same day Nintendo is releasing those 3 games. (A Link Between Worlds, etc.) so I guess Microsoft is trying to take away from Nintendo's game sales by releasing the Xbone on the same day as those games? It isn't going to work Microsoft, nobody wants your new console. >_>

Of course I'm still not purchasing an Xbone, and never will.

Come on Microsoft you should have put out the Xbox One near the start of November. Now I know people on Gamespot and IGN are saying Nintendo picked a bad day to release there games but, really there games that will still sell since not everyone is buying an Xbox One.

Yeah. And they should've released it at least a week before the Playstation 4 releases if they want to sell any consoles at all.

Nintendo didn't pick a bad day to release those games, it was actually a great day imo.

You know what.. I hope that no one buys an Xbone & because they can't sell their console they ahve to get out of the gaming business. XD

^ I second that! XD

I do hate Microsoft, and the Xbone is not worth any kind of money whatsoever. It's exclusive title: Fifa 14, which I'm assuming would be nearly identical to Fifa 13 with different people. I doubt there will be more as nobody is going to spend $500 on this.
