MR. XBONE'S WILD RIDE (XBOX ONE THREAD)

[UHMEEEEBA]

I didn't think it was possible to have a more dumb name than Wii U but here I stand corrected.

As has been suspected for some time now, used games on XBOX One require paying a fee to Microsoft.

Fuck it, I'm skipping it for that alone. :wtf:

Between this and the garbage that is Windows 8, hope you enjoy bankruptcy!

[UHMEEEEBA]

But wait there's more, XBOX One will not function without a Kinect.

Also as expected that whole one use CD thing means it requires an internet connection to verify them, but after doing so you don't need it to play it. Or that's what the guy supposedly said before the interview in question was taken down.

I hardly call this coincidence...

About that used game "fee",

But what if you want to bring a game disc to a friend's house and play there? You'll have to pay a fee—and not just some sort of activation fee, but the actual price of that game—in order to use a game's code on a friend's account. Think of it like a new game, Harrison said.

"The bits that are on that disc, you can give it to your friend and they can install it on an Xbox One," he said. "They would then have to purchase the right to play that game through Xbox Live."

"They would be paying the same price we paid, or less?" we asked.

"Let's assume it's a new game, so the answer is yes, it will be the same price," Harrison said.

It also requires logging in once per day.

I like how microsoft is fucking over those who supported them for 7 years.

I'll just say that 360 Kinect users had trouble watching the livestream because the Kinect actually listened to what was said on the livestream.

Add to Kinect being pretty much mandatory for Xbox One aaaaaand..... well, suffice to say, griefers (and Hideo Kojima) are so going to have a field day with this.

[Jesuszilla]

Welp, there goes half their conference.

Also this.



Yeah, XBOX One confirmed fucked in Europe.

Games are $99.99

Yeah, they are totally trying to support their drug habits.
