I'm guessing this was one of Bish's interesting registered email users, lol.
Thanks for the clarification.
I still will not be getting one. I need to be able to completely own my games, and not have my games be held hostage to an authentication server that won't exist in ten years.
Looking at his history: yes, he did.
That one is not joking, shill as well.
Many of them aren't "people" as such.
It gets better when you start looking at the posting history of these accounts.
You find accounts with 40 posts that are only active to either defend Microsoft or shit on the products of one of its competitors, over years. You find people that implied XB1 hardware secret sauce right up to the reveal. Then you can start identifying the various diversionary tactics that have been designed to deflect from or counter genuine issues, and how they evolve over time. It's a dark place, and discovering it has made me a more angry poster.
The literal text of what you posted has Sony saying they did not consider a DRM scheme similar to what Ubisoft used and later dropped because it was so severe. The XBONE is not "always-online". A console that needs to check in every 24 hours is not "always-online".
I don't understand how it is better than we thought. It seems like a restatement of the shit Phil Harrison tripped over a few weeks ago with one exception-- sounds like there will be a limited lending feature but not at launch (no time commitment given). No private sales, and potentially no used game sales depending on publisher.
No, it's just locked down to only one person at a time can play. That's probably good enough.
Holy crap, this is an amazing positioning opportunity for Sony. I look forward to the announcement of their policy. It's going to be fireworks either way.
So me and my sister could play any of my games and any of her games, on two different Xboxs at the same time, both online? For the price of one copy?
where's that list at anyway? or is this going to be a post-e3 curtain pull?Banned

No you can have 10 family accounts and if someone use one from that pool other accounts can't be used
You can't borrow your game to your friend on family account. When he will play console you will not be able to play yours. Same with family.
Only one person can play from those 10 accounts.
Why the hell do people think this is like Steam?
I wonder which agency he worked for.

Because it has been the norm for the past 8 or more years that Steam has been online. As I said before, the "cheapness" of Steam doesn't really come into effect outside of America. So really its just Steam but in a box.
Must be, no one was even replying to him far as I can tell or arguing with anyone, just a lot of one line ass kissing and maybe some Sony posts to throw confusion in and bam, banned.Banned

This is your bed not Sony's. So many of these post lately.
No.
They very specifically restrict it to family, so I wonder if it will take the location listed in the profile into account to tell.

This is about retail games.
Worst part so far is Cliffy B, David Jaffe and other devs condescending to people.
"Over-reacting"?
Eat a massive interstellar cruiser full of shit.
Yes, some people do, in fact, not like that and don't buy them, but may change their mind if they can buy it on sale 66%-90% off on Steam.What about those PC games you buy in retail that are Steam activated and can't be traded or loaned to a friend? Do you care about that?
sounds like you can just use a mobile connection to ping the server like your smartphone.Lets see. I move quite often, so it takes time for the internet to be sorted. I can still play bloody games though! Not in the future I guess. Or maybe I can, since I won't be buying this POS.
And why are so many juniors defending this (knows reason)
I think GameStop might be happy with the used games policy. They continue doing business as is and not have any real competition.

edit: actually I would love it to be dropped riiiiiiiiight before E3
