With our modern architecture, Xbox One games will load more quickly, will be always accessible from the cloud, and there is no physical limit to the size or scope of the content provided.

Here are our platform policies and capabilities for game licensing – all of which will be made available when Xbox One launches later this year:

Buy the way you want—disc or digital—on the same day: You’ll be able to buy disc-based games at traditional retailers or online through Xbox Live, on day of release. Discs will continue to be a great way to install your games quickly.

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.

Share access to your games with everyone inside your home: 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.

Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.

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.

So they're enabling Publishers to have the choice of whether to charge the fee, which as I recall is what Sony said as well. ( http://www.360haven.com/forums/threa...ave-drm-games/ )

its seems to me that Microsoft did this cause of all the flaming they were getting lol, still that is not the only reason i will not get a xbox one, many other features that i am not pleased with the xbox one, so regardless on what they do on used games i still will not be getting an xbox one

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a result of the negative PR, personally I'm more glad for the clarity (Granted there's still some holes) than the constant speculation from the game 'journalists'. The biggest drawback I currently see is the 'Login once every 24Hours' requirement, which I understand why it's needed for some of their new features, but it's still sort of annoying even if my connection is generally consistent.

Myself and my wife are reserving our judgement till the console comes out. I want to be sure if it is offline friendly, and also if the kinect always needs to be hooked up. We can live with the used game issue, we do not trade in our games anyways. Time will only tell if the XBOX One (and PS4) have done well with the consoles or if they have gone a bit to far from what a console really is, for games.

happy to hear they are going to drop the pre-owned games fee, however I am not going to get either system within the first year, so I will hold off on my judgement until I see both systems in action and get the better of the two for online and off line gaming (at this point it will likely be the PS4 because i simply don't want to use the kinect system, but we will see which is better).

I'm waiting for the day the 24-hour online check-in is cracked.
That will be a glorious day. So tired of all the crap restrictions hidden as features, that the mass consuming gaming public have allowed to enter into the gaming ecosystem.
