Or PS4...

Which I will gladly do (and will do either way).

How often has this happened to you? I know it's never happened to me. 1% of people may have to make sacrifices for 99% of people to prosper. The always online will bring you far more positives than negatives, if you ever even see a negative.

More than one percent of Xbox 360 owners don't play online.

Regardless of how many "positives" this may bring. This move is losing Microsoft more customers than it's gaining.

To me? Maybe three times last year, but I was lucky. Being a cop and having to work during some pretty serious storms last year I witnessed people without power for weeks and no cable/internet for longer than that. I'm sorry, defend it all you want but not being able to play your games because you lose your connection is fucking retarded.

Only being able to resell or lend your games ONE time is laughable. And what is all this "family account" stuff? Let me guess, you need to pay extra for that?

You right dumb as shit..they should just said fuck used games on this box.

There is no more family accounts. If your a member of xbox live gold you can have 10 sub accounts and they all have access to your all your games anywhere anytime. Therefore if my son comes to your house...he can download a copy of Forza 5 and play it on your xbox.

seems like it would just be easier to pop in a disk then to download a multi-GB game file

What I want to know is the friends thing...supposedly if you are on my friends list for more than 30 days and are in my inner circle the friend can have access to any of my games and vice versa.

yes it would very much be easier....except then I would not be able to play Forza at home if he took my disc.

How sure are you about that? Because that interview Handle posted with Angry Joe and Major Nelson, Major kept saying the other people on the account could download and "try" the game. He specifically said "try" like four times during that interview. I'd be willing to bet that just means they get a timed trial of some sort, not full and complete access to the game. I hope I'm wrong but why would he keep wording it that way?

Assuming this is true this family thing doesn't sound too bad. It basically sounds like what Sony is currently doing with downloadable games. But keep in mind this is just info from some random dude after speaking with a MS store representative.

That's the first link that came up when I googled 'xbox one family plan'.

Yusuf Mehdi confirms borrowing and game sharing for the Xbox One.

So this ties in with the used game policy that Microsoft has created. Bacially when you get your Xbox One you can select up to ten people to add to your "family list" that you want to trade games with. Now the people you add doesn't have to be blood related in anyway, shape, or form. This is just the name of the people you want to trade games with.

This allows those people to download the game and play it... So it's basically letting them borrow the game.

Although this is no different than the classic way of letting people borrow games as more than one person can't play the same game at the sametime it's definitely easier. Now although it's ten people I'm sure it will work out alright as I barely borrow games from a single person so ten is actually a pretty solid number

In theory it sounds great but lets see if it ACTUALLY works.
