"Update: Jon Hicks, the editor of Official Xbox magazine, has claimed that pre-owned games will be un-installed from the previous owner's system and installed onto another's. It is not clear if this process would negate a pre-owned fee."


so looks like it you give the game away, when they install you lose the game.

even all my avid xbox friends are saying that they are disappointed with the tivoone i mean the xboxone

[remember300]

Im glad the xbox is making a huge jump from what it was, and might help console fan boys appriciate a pc more, (most likely not but i can wish). Its more a home entertainment centre than a console, they need to sell it as that not a games console anymore.
I was a xbox fanboy now im just gonna sell mine so i can get a 780 gtx or maybe 2 x 770 gtx
and a better ssd.
(i have/had alot of games)

I might keep the kinect for some kinect hacks

Aww I wish they would've brought this guy on

All I heard was, "Xbox One got DEM GIMMICKS!"
Kinect is seriously meh. That was innovative when the Wii came out. Since then it's been recreated by Microsoft and Sony.
As far as gaming is concerned, lulz have been had.

All I got was how they were going to control everything. How you watch the TV, what you use to watch it with, how you browse the internet and god knows what else.

Apparently you have to plug say your Freeview box into it and watch it through the Xbox.

All I heard was till bells ringing to the sound of subscriptions.

This is risky by M$ because Apple have already tried this with the Apple TV and failed.
