[XB1] Official Xbox One Thread

[jms493]

I don't read gaming articles but one here's one thing I haven't seen anyone post about. What happens...if something happens to my console?

Let's say I contract the new strain of RROD(crazy idea, I know), or my Xbox gets stolen. What happens to my library of now used games? Do I have to pay extra money to use them when I get a new Xbox?

I am pretty sure you will have to repurchase them all at full price. suck it consumer

Someone on reddit outside of the US posted this picture. Guess those services don't work there, so it will pretty much be a game box to them.

Pretty much the deal for Canada.

We get Skype.

We get Netflix, although extremely neutered.

Everything else we can't have.

The latest that I've read regarding this is that games are tied to your account (not your console). If that's the case, you shouldn't have to worry about anything except installing the games all over again.

I have a feeling it's tied to both. Your account can only access the game from one console. You'll probably have to go through and de-activation/activation process like PSN has for some services.

how I do it on my 360 now is pull the hard drive out and put it in another console...takes all of 3 secs. Xbox Juan wont allow you to remove the HDD...awesome.

The last point is probably true. The one example that MS' damage control tossed out was that you can go to your friends house and bring over your profile to play the game without paying a fee.

On a general note, I'm shocked that MS folks don't appear to be on the same page on this issue, and we've had a few different used game policies thrown around.

The PS3 was basically the same thing yet no one bitched about that...

Just throwing this out there but I wouldn't be surprised it works like hotmail. Your login is basically tied to your location in the world. If lets say someone tries to access the account from cambodia it will trigger a security system which will begin the process of having to answer security questions to actually get into the account. When I bring my canadian xbox to the states I generally have to go through a bunch of security shit when I turn the xbox on and try to log into my account. It never fails and I end up having to do it for everything microsoft. It's a pain in the ass but then again I've never had any of my email accounts hacked unlike most people.

Like killgod said we've never had any of this stuff in the past. Our government and CRTC is to blame for that.

Hell without proxies we can't even get things like pandora, hulu, spotify, hbo online and so on.

Our netflix is beyond a joke as well. I've already cancelled it after 8 months because there is literally nothing new or worth it on there and we have to wait entire years before most tv shows get their updated episodes on it.

 

[killgod]

It took you 8 months to cancel netflix? :lol2:

It took a while to get through top gear :shifty:

Or just someone like me that lives in a rural area and doesn't have an ISP on M$'s precious list. I can't use HBO Go, ESPN, etc.

Who do you get internet with? You don't get Comcast up near Baltimore?

 

[Twigg4075]

I knew it was only a matter of time before MR Sony fanboy himself piped in. I don't think anyone bashes Microsoft more then you do

Because you were completely wrong and talking out of your ass as if it were fact, I'm the fanboy? :tellmemore:

Also, they make it super easy to bash them with all of their anti-consumer policies and agendas.

 

[Helicopter]

Man, I can't wait to not get this!

:lol2:

I don't get this company's thinking. So out of touch with it's consumers, so disconnected from providing the right things.



Their fucking ego is hilarious. Doesn't surprise me they are shocked internally that people are not impressed. They have no fucking clue.

I live in Northern Harford County. No Comcast there. You don't shit where you eat bro.

 

[jms493]

I am really curious about price....$399? Will my current xbox live membership carry over on this?

Therefore $399 plus 2 games (assuming $60 games still)...~$560 including tax

Hmmmm.:ccbrink:
