Microsoft is at least thinking about trying something a bit different with the Xbox One, though, by toying with the idea of allowing you to resell download games as part of an online marketplace.
A survey Microsoft recently sent out to some users included a question that started with the following statement:
For the following questions please assume that Microsoft Xbox One will offer a digital marketplace where you can purchase and sell digital video games.
It then goes on to explain how such a service would require an Xbox Live Gold account in order to function, would require all transactions be carried out via Xbox Live, and can only be carried out using the console. You could sell your digital-only games, trade them for other games, and there’s even a description of variable game pricing based on the features you opt for. So maybe that means including the DLC packs or not for a used title sale.
This is just a survey question and by no means something that is going to happen. However, it is clearly something Microsoft is thinking about, and to be honest, needs to think about for the future. If physical discs are going to disappear eventually, gamers will demand the ability to sell their download games when they are through playing them.
Of course, I’m sure developers and publishers would be happy if used games disappeared completely instead.Comment

Xbox One Voice Commands Will Only Work In Five Countries At Launch
Originally posted by Game InformerMost of the 13 regions that will get the Xbox One in November won't be able to experience the system's vaunted Kinect voice commands at launch.
The news was revealed in an update to the Xbox One official product page, hidden in a footnote at the bottom which reads: "Xbox voice commands will not be available in all markets on the product release date. Voice commands will be available at launch in US, UK, CA, FR, and DE."
So, unless you live in the U.S., U.K., Canada, France, or Germany, you'll have to wait for voice commands. The remaining countries where the Xbox One is launching in November are Australia, Austria, Brazil, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and New Zealand.Comment
