Fantastic job, Sir - I'm really looking forward to the second part of the Bioforge Best-of. There were some amazing reactions in the later bits, especially the reaction to how the cube works and when Vinny would randomly die when Patrick wasn't looking. Thanks again for doing these! <3
"At a roundtable this morning, Sony's game studios chief, Shuhei Yoshida, told reporters that any requirement for users to register a game online in order to play it would be left to game publishers. Sony won't require that." (Emphasis added.) Apologies for missing that during our attempts to clarify just how similar or dissimilar Sony's next-gen policies are from Microsoft's."
@the_laughing_man: I guess that all depends on region locking =/ And, as @barrock was saying, whether or not it is for physical discs or not (I have no clue, and it doesn't seem to specify)
Here is one of the clauses that has me scratching my head:
Give your games to friends: Xbox One is designed so game publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There are two requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once.
"can only be given once," that is still pretty damn restrictive; but it's better than nothing.
Honestly, this is not nearly as bad as what people were anticipating, so color me content. I still won't be picking up an Xbone; but hopefully this brings about less vitriol towards Microsoft.
With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies.
Edit: Feel free to delete this post, Mods - there was a topic posted about 30 seconds before me covering the same/similar things =)
