Microsoft says used games will work on Xbox One

It's not hyporcisy. Most pathetic lemmings desperately need to use that "hypocrisy argument" as ammo, because they really have absolutely nothing left after Sony's wollaping left hook.

I personally was pissed when they announced a pay service and I don't care to pay for online, even on my 360. Hell I rarely even play online at all. 

But there's more value in what PSN+ has to offer, more so than Gold.

• $500 is too much
• $60 Gold is less valuable than $50 PSN+
• That article isn't specific enough to convince me to buy one

By the amount of speedy conclusions and rabid hate based on little information that has been happening on this forum, I doubt any of you would consider buying one ever.

How bout speedy conclusions and rabid LOVE on XBOXONE. A vast majority of gamers out there think the system is a sad joke. But rabid Lemmings who gargle and swallow Bill Gates' semen are hard to be convinced. 

No, honestly, it's not that bad and at least they are innovating.  You guys are so backwards you can't see it, but Sony is just standing still.  Admittedly, it sounds bad, and there are things I don't like about the X1 policies, but it's all been done before.  And why is ass-rape and semen brought up so much lately in the X1 hate?  Are you all secretly homo-erotic?  And if that's so, then PC gamers have been cum-guzzling Gabe Newall for a decade with steam.  Honestly, the bonus of the cloud and 300,000 dedicated servers, and 2 free games a month, having a game that can be played with a voice-command instead of a disc is the future.  And unlike steam, you can buy used.  It really is streamlined. 

Only negative I see so far is connecting every 24 hours, I don't like that.  Unnecessary.

"NEW YORK -- Microsoft says its upcoming Xbox One gaming console will be able to play used games, clearing up a worry among gamers and video game retailers such as GameStop, which trade in used games.

That means video games discs users buy will not be limited to one Xbox One device, and players can share or trade in the games they have bought for other used games, just as they have been able to do in the past.

Microsoft Corp. said in a blog post Thursday it will not charge a fee to retailers, publishers or gamers for transferring their old games.

Separately, Microsoft says the Xbox One, which goes on sale later this year ahead, will need to be connected online at least once every 24 hours to work.

The whole 24 hour thing is excessive, but the ability to play used games is a plus.

What happen if you don't get your Xbox one connected in the last 24h, it RROD ?

EDIT

Just read this article completely. It doesn't confirm (or deny) anything that we don't already know. Even before Microsoft's E3 PC we were told that used games sold by retailers that Microsoft dictates would work. It says nothing about loaning a game to a buddy and then my friend being stuck with that game.

Also, this is a local news source. Why use this and think people would take it seriously? Why not find a source within the gaming community?

Whatever you say MS

This isn't a shift in policy.  This is some local news station with a tenuous grip on the situation.  They are referring to information from the Thursday before E3, and say so in the report.  

You can play used games, if the publisher allows them to be sold in the first place, yes.  And that copy can't be lent or resold, due to the one transfer per copy restriction.  Just as MS has detailed on their site.

I feel like the source is highly inaccurate. It's very vague and doesnt explain all the caveats associated with utilizing used games. You would think that if MS opened up their used game policy every video game website would be reporting it. I would be surprised if this wasnt merely a case of the writer misunderstanding MS's comments, or MS just being purposely vague as to confuseII_Seraphim_II

Yeah, it's a local TV station doing a report on the "Hot Topic" of the XBone situation, without a deep understanding of what the issues even are and using information almost a week old when they published their report.  

There's nothing to see here.

This is misleading. You can only sell used games once and only to selected retailers. You can't sell it to a friend or lend it to a friend or sell it on ebay or rent games.
