When you install games to the hard disk on the 360 don't you still need to have the disc in?
You kinda confused me there. So I could go round my mates with no game and sign in to my account and play my games. Ie online or just multiplayer with him?
What is the internet check checking for? Surely after you install the game you don't actually need the disc anymore? Of course like Microsoft I assume it'll be a once install but then how do you sell the game on? If it's not then why not install it on 2 machines and pay once. Go halfers on the game!
Mental scenario.
you know its only got a 500gb hard drive right?
do you know how many games that will be with next gen graphics on bluray disks?
you won't be able to install all your games onto the hard drive and just leave them there as you'll run out of space fast.
i also don't understand how they are going to do this going to a mates house, logging in with your profile and being able to play your games, i know the game, once it gets installed will tie it to your account and a copy of the game is in the cloud, but still, how is it going to get 30-50gb of game over a 1 or 2 mb connection to play at the console end? will you have to download it onto your mates console, and then when you leave he'll have to delete it if he hasn't purchased it himself as it will be no use. i believe that sony allow you to start playing the game before its downloaded if you buy a game from the store. xbox one games are all going to be available to download, but its a fairly big download for a game, like i said, going to be 20-50gb!
this is something they haven't explained yet that i have seen
Exactly.No no no, once you install the game form the disc something magical will happen in the cloud to tie that disc to your gamer account. So if someone else on a different gamer account tries to install it, it will not work.
(I think)
Which leads me onto my next question. How do you sell/trade in games in places like Game for eg? Do they have a thing that gives it another license?
Oh Spoonie thanks for clarifying lots of things for us simpletons!
we still haven't been told how this is even possible, how can you play the game from your mates house when he doesn't have the game on his xbox, if its pulling it from the cloud we come back to this 20-50gb problem again and how fast your internet connection is to stream 1080p quality gaming from the internet.About downloading 20-50GB's - fair point. But you can install the game from the game disc, log in to your account on mates Xbox One and play.
Heres how Im seeing it.
I buy games, for example, Tomb Raider. Play single player, complete it over the month, and trade/sell it back to Game:
Initial Purchase Price: £40
Game Buy it off me for: £22
Game Sell it on for £30.
That game has "cost" me £18. Game Will sell it to someone pre owned for an £8 Profit. The second hand buyer is saving £10 on the new price.
Everyone (bar publishers) is happy.
Now, If I buy that game for £40, and its locked to me, Im going to get pennies for it on trade in, as the guy who eventually buys it is maybe going to have to pay £10 for a licence to use it? As a result, When I trade in, Im likely to get £12 for the month old £40 game.
Unless I am wrong?

There's not been a single mention of discs, just that when you go to a mates house your entire (that's the important bit) game collection will be available to play once you log in. It also talks about copies of the game being in the cloud.Personally, I can't imagine it downloading the game from the cloud.
It'll likely need the disc when playing at a friends.
Can't see it being pennies. If it is indeed 10 quid for a license, then I'd imagine you'd get 10 quid less than before.
The publishers and game creators are really the ones that need to be kept happy at the moment. If they aren't, then no more games anyway. I've never bought a game with a thought as to its depreciation. At less than 40 quid a pop, it's just not worth bothering about.
Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.

An article on Eurogamer about the Xbox One that isn't just outright hatred
500gb in this day and age seems a little weak.
That was a shocking sycophantic interview mate. Asked the question then accepted the shocking political answer.
One simple question. Can you play single player mode without being online.

At least Sony have given people the choice to upgrade the hard drive if they wish and also don't require every game to be installed in the first place that I have read.USB3? My current 360 uses USB external storage. While not as fast as USB3 it supplements the HD. Its possible this will be the intended path for extending storage also.

you really are a spokesman for ms aren't you!
Sure, but most of it isn't rumour, it's mostly fact now, although there are people mis-interpreting things I guess.Not a spokesman at all. If Softcat were getting bad press for stuff based on a lot of rumour would you not try and clarify things if possible?
Agree, it does seem to be underspec'd for it's intended use. Who knows, maybe there will be some compression involved. I think things are going to become clearly as time goes on and we start actually seeing some demos.i still think for a system requiring you to install games and with it not being a 'cheap' box they'd have given it a decent storage capacity when we are talking about dual layer bd media for games. It should be a terabyte minimum really.
At the moment im thinking ps4, but I've always had both, I'm just not sure i can justify both this time around, I know there's exclusives I want on ps4 so that's why I'm thinking ps4 from day 1, but then I know I'll end up getting both anyway so I don't miss out.
