Jetzt ist es offiziell.

Die lustigen Stellen:

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.

...

Wie großzügig das man nicht zocken, aber dafür TV / DVD / Blu-rays schauen kann.

Access your entire games library from any Xbox One—no discs required: After signing in and installing, you can play any of your games from any Xbox One because a digital copy of your game is stored on your console and in the cloud. So, for example, while you are logged in at your friend’s house, you can play your games.

...

Die Zwangsinstallation dürfte für ziemliche Platzprobleme sorgen, zumindest für den der vorhat zu sammlen.

Trade-in and resell your disc-based games: Today, some gamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash and credit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers. Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games.

...

Give your games to friends: 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.

...

"Publishers can enable you", "participating retailers" und dann noch der Umstand das man dem Kumpel, Cousin oder sonstwem ein Spiel nur ein einziges Mal verleihen kann... Aha, im besten Fall kann man, falls der Publisher es gestattet natürlich, ein Spiel direkt an jemanden verkaufen, den man bereits über 30 Tage auf der XBL-Freundesliste hat, ansonsten wohl nur noch bei ausgewählten Händlern wie GameStop. Ebay & Co. dürften damit aus dem Rennen sein, es sei denn man added den Käufer noch vorher auf die Freundeliste - und dieser hat keine Probleme damit mehr als 30 Tage zu warten bis er das Spiel benutzen darf.

Warum auch einfach, wenn es auch kompliziert geht?

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. Loaning or renting games won’t be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners.

...

Das wird ein Spaß wenn EA Gebühren für einen Umtausch bei GameStop erheben wird. Oh, and no loaning or renting for launch buyers.

Sorry Microsoft, but this time I won't jump in.
