**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Q: Will Xbox One allow players to trade in, purchase and play pre-owned games?
A: We are designing Xbox One to enable customers to trade in and resell games. We’ll have more details to share later.


WONDERFUL
 
Cannot see that being true. MS was literally all about those policies and now they're getting rid of them? Don't think any company could be so spineless.

Oh wait, it's true... Waaaa?

That's always been the case.

Where this news update and what did it say?

I'll be surprised if they change it, maybe a small tweak, more likely just clarifications.
 
I feel all my whinging worth it...

Xbone back in the game, maybe. Just need them to announce a Kinect free version with a slightly lower price and I might be in.

Read somewhere that the Xbone won't even POST without Kinect at the moment. Could be interesting to see if that was true.
 
GB won't report on something that is just a rumor certainly on the site they don't tend to post that stuff up with out warrant. It is hilarious they are doing this they stood so firm and pretty much dictated to people, got hammered for months on end and lost a lot of consumer confidence and now have done a complete back pedal? It is frankly quite embarrassing and laughable.
 
The tug-of-war between Microsoft and Sony just got more interesting. Multiple sources inform me Microsoft will announce what amounts to a complete reversal on its DRM policies for Xbox One today.

What does this mean?

No more always online requirement
The console no longer has to check in every 24 hours
All game discs will work on Xbox One as they do on Xbox 360
An Internet connection is only required when initially setting up the console
All downloaded games will function the same when online or offline
No additional restrictions on trading games or loaning discs
Region locks have been dropped
It is unclear what caused this huge change in policy right after E3, a week where Microsoft executives spent days explaining, justifying, and talking about its policies to the press. I suspect Microsoft’s official announcement will say something to the effect of “we've been closely listening to consumer feedback.”
