Goddamnit Microsoft, why you have to destroy everyone's buzz with the one disc to one console bullshit (unless you pay a fee)? It's just getting more retarded as the money grubbing non-sense continues.
Can you imagine in the SNES days if you couldn't take your copy of Mortal Kombat over to a buddy's house to play it? Without asking for your parent's credit card info. That's exactly the same concept here. |

That's actually the case for many of my friends. And it's representative of the money grubbing. I can't award that kind of behavior. DLC already on a disc, only allowing a disc THAT A PERSON OWNS AND PAID FOR to be played on a single console; the shit needs to stop.

I will concede point B, but point A is moot, at least for me. I don't do online play. Can't stand it. So, yeah, I hang out with my friends in order to play with them.

Funny enough I'm usually the guy people would have to bring the games to. I'm just curious what the charge is. It can't be the full cost of the game and they say that after the fee is paid that person you lent it to will have it saved to their HDD so they can play it without the disc. Does this mean they now have the full game at a cheaper price and if so whats to stop people from splitting the cost of the game and then loading it onto two Xboxes. They did say that once it is installed you wouldn't need the disc anymore to play.

It's funny how Steam somehow manages to allow me to go to pretty much anybody's house and play the games I own for no fee whatsoever, but somehow Microsoft can't figure out how to do that.

Why would they make the "fee" substantially less than the full cost? They WANT to kill all reselling of games. This obviously will kill rentals, since rentals are made functionally the same as purchasing the game.

Which then leads to the question of what if the person who paid said fee to borrow your game doesnt want to keep it. Are they reimbursed? Maybe this thing is like a rental where the fee you pay is only for a limited time and once that time is up you can't play it anymore or get charge another fee like when you don't return a rental on time.

just take your xbox to your friends.
and if the games get installed onto the hd and you have a full hdd and uninstall a game, are you able to reinstall it at no charge?

Well I meant the rental fee would be charged by Xbox but then again you would still need the game to download. There are just many question that arise from this which we won't get till E3 most likely.

Not ideal if you've got your Xbox running everything including the kitchen sink, like they clearly WANT you to do.

If you live alone, I suppose. Lots of people don't. If my kid wanted to take the Xbox to a friend's house to play, and everything was routed through it, I'd say, "Nope. Sorry."

It's a dumb move either way. I pray that the public don't go along with this, like they have for day1 DLC and other bs. If people actually accept this and Sony and other companies start doing it....well screw everything.

Yeah this fuggs me over pretty hard. Because most of the games I play are fighting games that I want to play with a specific friend,that I see often. The Injustice copy that I am playing right now is his copy. The only game we don't go over to each others houses and Play is Marvel Vs Capcom 2.
This kinda kills a tradition with me and him, I have been playnig games with my best friend since the 8 bit days. Now we have to cough up well over 100 bucks just to play a game? I am afraid that just is not gonna happen. Why dose the industry hate casual gamers so much?
