60$ to buy the game, 60$ for Xbox Live, and a FEE if your Brother, Sister, Wife or anyone else in the family wants to play the game you bought. You cant even play the other two generations of games you bought so you will likley have to download those from the store which you know they will sell online.

 

Does this make you :D

You can play the game on 1 console across multiple accounts. Now if you take it to your friends house, then you'll need to pay for them to play unless they just play on your profile. I can see why people are frustrated about it, but I normally buy new games anyway so it's not that big of a deal to me, personally. The only thing that bummed me about it is that I wont be able to borrow games from my friend who usually seems to get them before I do lol.

People are upset because by purchasing the console and allowing M$ to do as they please, you the buyer are giving them permission to set unfair practices. Isn't paying for live enough?

no, you cant. you can only play the game on one profile not one console. meaning, if someone else logs into the same console that you have been playing that game on, they will have to pay to play that game again. the games are locked to the profile they are activated on, not the console.

Please refer to family account on official source.

This is the only confirmed info on the topic: "Polygon reports that multiple accounts will be able to share an Xbox Live Gold membership from a console. "Anybody who has usage privilege on that machine can use it," says Microsoft's Phil Harrison" sooooo....please refer to my middle finger if your friend comes over to your house and logs in to your XBOX with his account, he is not going to be able to play the games that you are able to on that console. he wasnt talking about families and different profiles, he was talking about accounts. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ACCOUNT AND A PROFILE. a profile can share an account. they have changed how the xbox deals with families. instead of everyone having their own LIVE account, there will be one live account on the XBOX with a profile for each user.

yea and if you think of it the bluray drive is only their for people who want the hard copy of the game to sit on the shelf. because im pretty sure you don't need the disc to play the game once you installed it.
