Xbox One

That gif was amazing

And remember, gif is pronounced jiff.

From IGN

As explained by Microsoft, “Xbox One is designed to run in a low-powered, connected state. ... While a persistent connection is not required, Xbox One is designed to verify if system, application or game updates are needed and to see if you have acquired new games, or resold, traded in, or given your game to a friend. Games that are designed to take advantage of the cloud may require a connection.”

“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."

"In our role as a game publisher, Microsoft Studios will enable you to give your games to friends or trade in your Xbox One games at participating retailers. Third party publishers may opt in or out of supporting game resale and may set up business terms or transfer fees with retailers. Microsoft does not receive any compensation as part of this. In addition, third party publishers can enable you to give games to friends."

Microsoft says "your friends and family, your guests and acquaintances get unlimited access to all of your games. Anyone can play your games on your console--regardless of whether you are logged in or their relationship to you." The company added that “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.”

It's worth noting that Microsoft allows you to gift games to friends but they can't borrow them. Microsoft added that "loaning or renting games won’t be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners."

I copied and pasted directly from them--those aren't my words:)

Lawful, you can do that already with XB360. The issue is that it's an extra fee. The other issue is that they stopped selling the family subscription back in March.

Stop being such a Microsoft apologist and look at the facts in front of your face and just realize that they're trying to fuck you. They aren't catering to the "gaming" crowd with this new system.

LOL i love the translator!

derp

When it comes to video games, who cares how good it is. If the box isn't pretty and up to my standards, it can eat a bag of dicks.

From IGN: Best Buy has exhausted its stock of Xbox One pre-orders and is no longer accepting online purchases for the new console.

Understandable. The Xbone is going to be in limited supply due to issues they've had during chip production.
