Re: Xbox One

Then it'll look pretty great running at 60 fps on Scorpio, unless this is because of their engine and not the hardware.

Re: Xbox One

I have a question about transferring the license of digitally purchased games to another gamertag. I want to know if it's even possible. I'm going to be selling my Xbox one and I'd like to be able to sell the digital games as well so the new owner can play them. This would allow me to get a bit more for the console if I could include these games.
Forza 6
MXGP 2
Project Cars
F1 2015
Dirt Rally
The Division
Black Ops 3
COD Ghosts
Gears of War 4
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Halo 5

Thanks

Re: Xbox One

Pretty sure you'd have to give them the gamertag or leave your console as the 'home' console. Because the home console status is so easily revoked the games are probably not worth much.

You'd have to sell the gametag as you can't transfer digital licenses.

Re: Xbox One

I just bought my first 4k tv since I had to buy more tv's for my resort, so I thought I would slide in and get one for myself. Hard to believe, but I actually have no idea what 4k looks like since I moved here to the Philippines.

I was gonna get a ps4 pro but since I already have the normal one, I went ahead and got the one s since its already a 4k bluray player and I missed playing Forza.

Make sure you get a 4k tv with HDR (and if you want to future proof yourself...also w/ Dolby Vision)....4k w/ HDR and Dolby Vision will blow your sandals off! YouTube in 4k...Speechless!

Re: Xbox One

HDR (HDR10) and Dolby Vision are competing HDR standards FYI. Dolby Vision is better but requires more to support it.

HDMI 2.1 compatible sets are probably coming out next year (a friend couldn't find any sets at this year's CES that supported it so...), increases HDMI bandwidth from 18gbps to 48gbps.

Dynamic HDR is the big goodie in that spec, something Scorpio will potentially support (it will support HDMI 2.1) but TVs won't support it until likely 2018.

Re: Xbox One

Also Dolby Vision can be added in via a firmware upgrade so if your tv doesn't have it that doesn't mean it may not be able to get it sometime in the future.

Dolby’s HDR solution has also become available in pure software form

Does MS allow this or would you have to do it carefully? Have to wipe all your personal account info and crap. In general I'd think this isn't a great option unless you're never going Xbox again

I think it would be tough finding a seller who doesn't want their own fresh gamertag or doesn't already have their own too. Maybe not though.

I don't think they really care to be honest but I'm not sure. I would definitely make sure to remove all my private information, especially of course any billing methods from the account. And I agree, it wouldn't be my first choice either.

If MS and others want digital to do better they really need to look at the ability to trade, sell or outright transfer licenses IMO. It's a real issue for some now but wow, going forward down the road it's going to be a HUGE issue for nearly everyone as digital sales rise.

I would think so as well but I have looked around on and off on sites and it seems like a lot of people do this. On Xbox you can pay $5 to change your gamer tag so its not a big of a deal about the gamer tag I don't think. On PS4 that would be a huge potential issue though.

Yes, i just ordered the sony kd-43x800d. I won't be able to stream 4k in awhile since I live in El Nido. Internet speeds are terrible, the fastest is probably 10 mbps on a good day

Yeah, Microsoft tried to address that. The internet flipped out. Too soon, I guess. I think we will get there.

Nice to see captive portal support coming. Will make connecting in hotels much easier.

Eventually. It makes sense to have a used digital game trade ability. An auction site would be even better, but not sure if they'll go that route or not. Say I buy Fallout 4 but want to sell it to a friend for 10 bucks, that should be allowed.

MS was gonna have game discs be registered too, so you could just trade those digitally or at store (Gamestop and the like would have to use a system to check the disc's code). That got lost in the "online" hate even though both systems are always online now anyways *sigh*
