I am feeling that Microsoft is just becoming Abstergo.

Does not bode well. What are they hiding?

The fact that they won't come out and say what their intentions are basically says they are trying to keep bad news from us.  Why else would they keep leading us on with all these mixed messages and delaying the truth unless it's something we won't like?

They might have partners "Gamestop" who might not want that info out yet. I't just like a games announcement it doesn't mean it's bad news. What I want to know is if that "log on once a day" crap is true or not because if it is goodbye MS hello Sony/Wii U.

Interesting that Sony said the exact same thing during the PS4 launch announcement and no one seemed to mind. Why the double-standard?

More damage control.

He should join the cast for Dancing With The Stars for how well he danced around the question....

Yea, it's obvious they intended to have a fee for all used games. Probably not a small one either. It's also obvious they thought that would be totally okay with gamers too. It's not. So now they are back peddling and the reason they've not gone into specifics is because now they're going to have figure something else out. They don't know what the specifics are yet, because they haven't thought them up. How they ever thought they were going to get away with such a scheme is beyond me.

"The ability to trade in and resell games is important to gamers and to Xbox. Xbox One is designed to support the trade in and resale of games. Reports about our policies for trade in and resale are inaccurate and incomplete. We will disclose more information in the near future." Again, Micro$oft refuses to just give us a solid, no-bullsh*t answer. They've already shot themselves in the foot, but are now just letting themselves bleed out.

Well, see ya, Micro$oft.

Its time for Major Nelson to enter retirement.

It seems to me that the whole used game issue is coming out of the fact that you are able (and required) to download and play games off the hard drive. Aside from not needing a disc to play a game, what are the advantages of doing this and why is it required? I see no reason for why Microsoft should be doing this.

so basically they are trying to backpedal on the used games requiring to use an online pass feature.

"Microsoft Provides Official Statement On The Xbox One Used Games Issue" "We will disclose more information in the future." This is the most inaccurately titled article in a while.

This is exactly why I'm not dealing with MS anymore.  No straight answers and they don't care about their customers.

It's like when Microsoft announced the Xbox One, everyone just forgot all the things Sony still hasn't cleared up and it's been months. It hasn't even been a week for the Xbox One.

Riiight... No surprise that they will change all they said when they announce the console, just look at the internet everyone is really pissed about the new xbox, obviously MS will set things right or they will loose sales. Although I wonder, used games are a target for this companies and XBOX one is saying games will be stored on your hardrive and we wont need a disc anymore, so everyone will buy a game install it and sell it right after and so on.

Sounds like Microsoft didn't think about used games...

I really hope they dont make it difficult or much difrent.
