Xbox reveal discussion thread

But what if a second person simply wanted to put the disc in and play the game without installing – and without paying extra? In other words, what happens to our traditional concept of a “used game”? This is a question for which Microsoft did not yet have an answer, and is surely something that game buyers (as well as renters and lenders) will want to know.

No problem then. I won't complain until I know the answer to that part.

If the fee is minimal than it is a non-issue of course.

The disc is apparently only for installation. You are supposed to install the game with the disc, then play via hard drive

Where does it say it's only for installation?

To be honest, I don't by used games anyways, so it doesn't affect me. lol, GameStop will probably be pissed.

There’s one feature of Xbox One from which we can infer quite a few conclusions: You can install any game from the disc to the console’s hard drive, and then play that game whenever you like without having to put the disc in.
Wired asked Microsoft if installation would be mandatory. “On the new Xbox, all game discs are installed to the HDD to play,” the company responded in an emailed statement. Sounds mandatory to us.
What follows naturally from this is that each disc would have to be tied to a unique Xbox Live account, else you could take a single disc and pass it between everyone you know and copy the game over and over. Since this is clearly not going to happen, each disc must then only install for a single owner.

That didn't answer the question dude.

I still expect more stuff to be revealed at E3, so no rushing it I guess. Only 3 weeks.

It looks great, not sure about the details about the new features for it..can anyone fill me in? Maybe it's called Xbox One because it was how the system was suppose to be, features and all.

Kotaku and Wired have articles covering it from top to bottom.

Xbox One's motto is "All in One"
I'm assuming that's the reason.
