Microsoft says used games will work on Xbox One, needs Internet connection to work
Connecting every 24 hours to the Internet for the device to work is so stupid. I'm personally connected to the Internet 24/7 but a lot of the gadgets I use still work even without an Internet connection. This is a dealbreaker for a lot of people. Microsoft needs to rethink this along with a lot of things that have gone wrong with the product announcement. — Rickey
Microsoft says used games will work on Xbox One; console will need to go online every 24 hours
NEW YORK (AP) — Microsoft says its upcoming Xbox One gaming console will be able to play used games, clearing up a worry among gamers and video game retailers such as GameStop, which trade in used games.That means video games discs users buy will not be limited to one Xbox One device, and players can share or trade in the games they have bought for other used games, just as they have been able to do in the past.
Microsoft Corp. said in a blog post Thursday it will not charge a fee to retailers, publishers or gamers for transferring their old games.
Separately, Microsoft says the Xbox One, which goes on sale later this year ahead, will need to be connected online at least once every 24 hours to work.
