Microsoft tillader nu brugte spil på X-box One
Det kom som noget af en "party-killer" da Microsoft annoncerede deres X-Box One på E3, og så samtidigt fremlagde deres planer for, at deres nyeste generation konsol skulle være online hele tiden, og at brugte og lånte spil nu blot var en by i Rusland. Heldigvis ruskede Sony til den fordom ved at tilbyde det stik modsatte, nemlig en konsol uden nogen former for online kontrol af spil, og brugte og lånte spil kunne afvikles lige som man ønskede det.
Nu har Microsoft været i tænkeboks i lidt tid, og de er kommet frem til, at de ikke kan opretholde kravet om konstant onlinecheck, hvis de vil have solgt nogle konsoller. Derfor har Microsoft ændret deres regler for brug af X-box.
So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:
-
An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.
-
Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.
