Xbox One to Let You Share Your Games Library with up to 9 Other People

That is very good news. X1 just got better to me.

if this is true, this just changed freaking everything. But it cant be, it makes no sense. WHy have drm if your going to lose 10 sales on every game? So instead of selling 1 million you only sell 100,000 games, call of duty would have only sold 300,000 with this model.

This isn't going to work how the TC thinks, get real dude. You'll have to be part of the family, probably have to be on the same internet, can only have a game running in one place at a time etc...

Wake up lems.

OMG, 9 people? i was worried for a moment, glad to see that MS got me covered on that one...

That's actually a nice feature, but they still need to clarify what "family" actually means.

That's not bad if true. Sharing your game collection with your "family" could save you and your friends quite a few bucks if you want to share games with each other. It doesn't work with multiplayer games though if you want to play online with your friends. Seriously, MS should get rid of the stupid "pay full price" policy of sharing the physical copy of a game.:x What if I want to bring my MP games over a friend's house to play or vice versa?

I doubt it's that plain and simple. You would essentially make "piracy" an even worse issue by making 1 copy into 10.

EDIT - They need to clarify what "family" means. Perhaps sub-accounts on the XBL subscription?

furthermore, xbox one gold subs now work for the whole console. one sub for a console. currently ps+ does not work this way so....SmugDarkLoser0

Actually, Yoshida confirmed that a single PSN+ subscription will work across all sub accounts on PS4.Nonstop-Madness

TC, it means you can only use your account on 9 other boxes. That means that all those boxes can play it, but they have to be signed into the same account--so none of them can play it at the same time.

This will mean game sharing is almost impossible since the console has to be connected to the internet every 24 hours. You can sign into a console, play the game and take it offline, but you can only play that game for another 23 hours and 50 minutes until you have to sign in again to that account.

Lems are so desperate.

I like the thought of the game sharing system.

That'll definitely help at Halo LAN parties.

MS says 10 family members, not any 10 people, and I doubt they'd mention that without some way to verify to some extent that you're a family.  Pehaps all accounts have to have the same master console? I haven't created a Live account in a Loooong time so I don't know how things work now, or how they may be switched to accomodate.  

It's been looked at as potentially exploitable since MS mentioned it, but we just don't have the details yet to know for sure.

omg can lems not think, that's not game sharing. it's still locked to your account period

"You can have up to ten people in your Xbox One "family", and can share all your content among them, regardless of which console they're using."

That's the reality right there.

When they announced the feature I recall the MS rep saying that the game owner has 100% access to their game library at any time regardless of sharing.

Not sure if it's the same for other content though, but yeah that would be cool. You could have an awesome movie night with your friends across country.

Cant play at the same time. Worthless in your scenario. Heil68
