    No, the two things are separate.

     

    Those points are part of the console. The Xbox One can't run games from the disc. They're installed on the console and the disc is discarded. If you send someone the disc, it's useless.

     

    It's like buying an eShop code from a shop, but having the data put on your console without needing to download it.

     

    Microsoft are only allowing approved retailers to deal with trading these digital games, and publishers can block these trades.

     

    Really ? Just I thought if there are no publisher restrictions then if I gave you the disc and you install it then you will have to pay a fee to play it. Just like fifa is today

    If no publisher blocks trading games, you still have the following problems:

     

    - No lending a game to a friend

    - You can only trade in at selected retailers.

    - No private selling (Amazon Marketplace/eBay)

    - No game will work if you're disconnected for over 24 hours.

     

    Ok fair point on the lending a game to your friend (Never lent a game in years)

     

    But if there are no restrictions on games then selected retailers and private selling are not points

    None so far - According to EA, the article the other day was the first they heard about the system so they haven't had time to decide (probably a lie).

     

    Still, surely the option is in there because someone plans on using it?

     

    Yeah the option is there because console change. The 360 from launch till now is totally different.

     

    So if no publishers put a restriction on games then its the same as PS4. (Apart from the 24 hour check)

     

    All this rant and rave about used games is stupid when no publisher has said anything

    Apart from retailers who don't deal in used games in any way - so supermarkets (except Tesco), online shops like ShopTo - I don't see why any of them would want to support the Xbox One. Most will probably stock it, but I think they'll be pushing for PS4 sales.

     

    Which publishers have came out and said they are blocking or putting some sort of restriction on used games ?

    Yes really.

     

    And obviously Nintendo started the whole motion control thing. If you want to play the "let's go back in time and see who did something like this ages ago before it became mainstream" game then I can play that too:

    Oh yeah, it's a motion control device for a NES!!!

     

    And as for Home - the idea, which is centred around a virtual version of yourself - came after the hugely popular Miis. Strangely I believe XBOX avatars came after Miis too!

     

    Haha well played, even tho it wasn't made by Nintendo so they stole it !

    I liked the Miiverse idea and think as long as they keep moving in the right direction they'll come up with something good and unique, which as Madeinbeats said will probably end up being ripped off by MS and Sony, just like motion controls and Miis did!

     

    Really ?!

     

    I'm sure the Sidewinder had motion control years before the wii came out. And Miiverse look like a cartoon version of PsHome

    At least the discounted PSN game is worth having but I'm wondering how much longer we'll have to wait for the codes plus the early access to Frobisher Says... I'm not too fussed about the latter but I would like my code so I can get SSDD for practically free! :)

     

    I got my code bought Escape Plan with it and got Frobisher Says already

    me and boyfriend think the Plymouth one may be a big demo tent set up in the middle of plymouth town centre cause the adress is just the straight bit through the middle.

     

    Although its when the 3DS is out and the end of march so he might be coming back home anyway to play on mine....even though I banned him

     

    In other news I think my post is going up on ONM soon *eek* and a picture of me Ryu and Ken will be the header >_<

     

    Already there ---> Link

     

    Congrats, Nice post :)

    I've ordered it then cancelled it three times as I'm really unsure over it :/

     

    Its alright but the games I have tested just run out of fun after half an hour. Very repeative.

     

    It all depends on what games you like playing I suppose. If you like Wii Fit and things like that then I can see you loving Kinect and its current games
