Hold up, Hold up! So can't I buy a disk, bring it to my home which has no internet, put it in my X1, and play it offline?

For 23.59 hrs, yes. After that, no.

Re: Xbox One

Apologies in advance if this has already been posted in this thread, but I came across an excellent article commenting on Microsoft's strategy. There's no new information, but the writer makes some great points--very well written.

I hear a lot of people stating how the Xbox isn't going to be for "gamers" but I don't understand this. What exactly is the difference between the PS4 and Xbox that makes the PS4 so much better for "gamers?" I mean they'll both have Call of Duty, Battlefield, Madden, and all of the other major titles. Xbox has the party system which I use every time I go online. Whether it be talking to family, friends, and online friends. I'm failing to see why the Xbox isn't "gamer" friendly.

Re: Xbox One

7:50 mark - Giant Bomb: Activision, Ubisoft and EA pushed for used game DRM. "Give us this or games will be $70".

Figured something was up when EA announced last week I believe that do to "customer" feedback they were doing away with the Season Pass. So I would assume that this used game thing would be done on PS4 also? More info can't come soon enough

U guys don't feel like DRM makes gaming too complicated?

For me it's not that big of a deal. My systems are always hooked up to the internet, so unless the Xbox servers go down, I'll be fine with playing the games. But if the servers are ever down for more than a few minutes, I could see a huge backlash to their whole system.

Is anybody else excited about playing your games on any console without the disc? If I go to a friend's house, we can play a game I own just by signing into my account without worrying about bringing the disc. Also, the family system is intriguing. The way it is worded and the way they talked about it on that video that was posted is that I could be playing a game I own while a family member plays the same game on a different console. If it actually works that way, it might actually save money for some people.

Save money? Which is why there is no way it will work like it sounds.

Like you, it reads to me that family members have access to your games. So all of my brothers could be playing my COD? When on the 360 we all had to buy our own. No way it works like it reads.

No, not for me. My Xbox is always connected and it stays right in my living room. If it came down to it I would have internet over cable. I think my internets gone out once over the past few years. I went to bed and it was backup in the morning. For those who don't have internet I know its an issue. Hopefully the infrastructure in our country continues to grow and everyone who wants reliable internet will be able to get it within the next 5-10 years.

Another reason I'm in favor of digital downloads is it requires one less disc. These discs aren't huge by any means but when you add them up there are hundreds of millions of discs out there. I know a lot of people aren't recycling so the more we keep out of landfills the better.

The infrastructure of internet in the US should have no bearing on offline gaming.

I can only imagine how gaming will "evolve" when the gen following xbone and ps4 comes out. Maybe they'll require a daily blood sacrifice to confirm dna to xbox live account.

Yeah, I'm doubting it too when I think about it now. I'm still wondering about this family thing though.

Liking this just for the blood sacrifice

Re: Xbox One

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this, but it doesn't bode well for MS unless they explain why they aren't doing any post-E3 conference or letting anyone talk to Xbox executives.

Nothing is set in stone right now, their polices could change on a daily basis up to release, which is probably why they don't want to say anything.

I was talking about for less tech savvy audiences or kids, would it not be too complicated for them?
