RichyB Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 "Microsoft faces a backlash from some gamers after it emerged the company may charge a fee to play pre-owned games on its new Xbox One console." Contrary to their earlier Twitter announcement. "He added that gamers could bring their games to a friends' house to play without paying a fee - but only if the game's owner is signed in to the Xbox Live account with which it is registered." In other words, you won't be able to buy a second hand game from a store without paying a fee to use it. BBC article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceHigh11 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 He wrote on his blog: "While there have been many potential scenarios discussed, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail."Beyond that, we have not confirmed any specific scenarios." That seems ok. "He added that gamers could bring their games to a friends' house to play without paying a fee - but only if the game's owner is signed in to the Xbox Live account with which it is registered." That stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HudS Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 The new xbox is a failure. - Can't use pre-owned games. Not everyone is a spoiled bitch. - Fee's after fee's after fee's. Geesh Microsoft. - It's all about TV and and sports now. Cause why the f*ck make a gaming console for gamers when you can make a sh*tty family console. - The controller is like the old fat xbox one controllers. - The name "ONE" is misleading to the first xbox. Cause why make sense and call it Xbox "Three" or something that make more sense then "ONE". - It was a bad reveal and they featured TV, TV, TV, COD, HALO, TV TV -/+ It looks like a f*cking VHS player. But its also a plus because know we can see that there's more space for good and advanced hardware. - It looks like its the old xbox but for familes and not for gamers. - You must activate the games for a specific xbox account. - Still xbox live fee's + Water cooling. + Buy a PS4 and/or a PC because this piece of sh*t is pretty much worthless when i need to activate games. Go buy PS4 or a gaming PC instead, trust me its worth the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keybladekyle Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I hope the XBox One kills the gaming console industry for microsoft so that game companies are no longer restricted by the limitations of a sh*tty console like the XBox always has been.

wwinterj Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I buy games at full price or in a sale anyway as it doesn't take long for most games to go on sale in the UK. Still sucks that they have basically put a online pass on the entire game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
