If thats the case, it's already over for Xbox. Sony shipping more confirmed by the number of reserves at each retailer.
The ESRAM yield issue apparently is true (chalk up another MS bad rumor confirmed)
EA: "We had nothing to do with Xbox One's DRM policy"
- Thread starter Family Man
- Start date

Godzilla got busy.
Lol EA not trynna get touched by the PR forest fire MS has created.
Now let's piece bits of info together and discuss some things:
-----
How Games Licensing Works on Xbox One
Microsoft leaves game resale up to the publisher and this PUBLISHER isn't blocking used game support at this time, if ever. The whole argument that Microsoft was an evil company because it's putting the consumers into the hands of evil money hungry publishers was apparently more fake outrage from fanboys waiting on M$ downfall. Devs/publishers complained about the used game scene digging in their pockets this entire gen. All Microsoft has done is tell them "If you feelin froggy, then leap.
" And now look, ain't shyt happen.
The whole "Sony has to do it too" from xbots was in reference to this publisher policy. If EA blocked used games on X1 you better believe PS4 was feelin it too, regardless of no console check-ins.
As it stands now, we can trade in and sell used games at retailers. Craigslist/ebay/street-corner hustles are in the bushes with what we know. Giving away games for free requires a 30-day friendship, after that you'll have to trade/sell to a retailer. We're still waiting for the official word on buying used games. Models for rentals are being "explored."
Hence the 24hr policy so X1 can throw the discs in the bushes. This is a trade off I do not mind. I find more value in not needing to even know where my disc is in order to play, switch, and share my games, than requiring the disc in-tray for the aforementioned and having the ability to play offline >24hrs during a blue moon.

This is all they had to do fam. PS4 games will be the same where you can install to the HD (optionally) or play from the disc directly, but you still need the disc in the drive or else you would just be able to copy to multiple PS4s with no fukks given.

man you need a win real bad. What did they do to you on the old site? I'll be happy for you come January when you can say "
sony's winning the console war"
I'll be happy for you come January when you can say "
I'm just having fun out here... .
We have nothing to do with those dudes and their policies"
"
This is where I'm at as well. You couldn't imagine the amount of games I didn't finish this year cause the disc got lost/ruined. My 2 year old thought they were frisbees, I'm lazy so I never put them back in their case, and my wife has a cleaning fetish.
Runnin around the house looking for my games just to find them ruined in a pile of toys
I'll be glad to leave that behind this gen

The thing is that's a big part of the console experience . They're alienating A part of the console Audience to give features most console people don't care about . There's a reason I'm playing on a console and not a computer I don't expect the same stuff . I see alot of comp gamers cosigning ms but I don't think they realize how much those simple things like bringing a disk to my boys house to play a game he didn't buy or lending a game or picking up a used game I wasn't sure about then loving it and buying the sequels and dlc
Nothing in the X1 will prevent you from doing the bolded.
Yes it does if he doesn't have internet.
well obviously he has the Internet.
They have these numbers posted anywhere?
Yes it does if his friend doesn't have the internet. If his friend does have the internet, they'll be playing off the cloud (latency) compared to offline. Secondly, if Stat lent his friend the game to play under his friends account (again, his friend would have be on his xbox live disc for 30 days) then his friend can play the game under his own account. But you can't get it back at this point.
Been reading posts on the net from Gamestop managers and people who reserved at Gamespot.
Well Well Well my PS4 Bruhs...
It looks like our dear old green friends are really having supply issues
(Guess those ESRAM Yield rumors aren't fake after all)
