Course it will. Xbox one is a trademarked product, and unless the current owner can display some VERY good claims to legitimate ownership that don't amount to passing off, he'll lose his $9.99 registration fee as well as the domain

That's so stupid. If I register a domain it should be mine. Just cos they were fuktards in getting around to registering it doesn't mean it should be taken off me in a court case. You want it, you pay for it.

Otherwise be quicker off the mark.

Happened years ago with Wayne Rooney when some bloke saw him as a young lad and went and bought up a heap waynerooney.com and waynerooney.net domains. Had to forfeit as there was no legitimate reason for him to have them. Loads of precedents set here.

The Xbox One will not be banned for jaysus sake. Mother of god, there has been some ****e posted in here in the last couple of days.

so if Microsoft try something similar court case for them i would guess

also EU's entire privacy laws are being revised and updated to include social media like facebook and twitter so kinect 2.0 could be violating these considering it's an nearly always-on-camera(able to turn off camera privacy mode)but who knows how they'll feel about a microphone that's always on and recording

so yeah the xbox one could be banned. possibly

Most smart phones do all the above without permission's

Haven't seen any banned yet

Sure why don't you go open up a shop and call it Tesco too, it'll be tough on them that they didn't buy that location first

MS aren't preventing people selling them, they're just making it so that anyone who buys them needs to pay an additional fee to add a license on their machine. Absolutely nothing stopping them buying the physical disc, which is precisely all that the previous owner is selling, since it's all that they own

This bit is nothing but speculation. The EU are changing something. It might change to something that might affect the thing that Xbox might be doing with their hardware. WTF like

This gave me a chuckle

what will happen if someone gets an xbox one and goes on holidays for a week or 2? will they have to ask a friend to call to their house to turn it on once a day?:pac:

Is it going to be like one of those Tamagotchi toys where you have to feed it once a day or it dies on you?

No but if you don't tell it you love it at least once a day then it self combusts and tries to burn your house down.


In seriousness I still haven't seen any word on what happens if you can't set up the Kinect. Has there been any coverage? Because if it's anything like the 360 and Kinect 1.0 then a lot of people just aren't going to be able to use this console.

well thanks a bunch for clearing the whole "must be online once per 24 hours" thing when someone cannot simply do that at times.

Why would it need to connect if no one is using it (your example was of someone going on holiday).

You aren't under the impression that if the X1 hasn't connected once every 24hrs that it will no longer work? (as in ever again) because I thought your were just making a silly joke.

They haven't really said what will happen. I'd imagine though that nothing will happen really, just that the next time you turn on the console you'll be told that you have to connect before you're able to do anything else.

a) if it's plugged in it'll call home silently without being turned on
b) if you're not there playing it and it's not plugged in, it doesn't matter if it calls home or not, because all that'll happen is that it'll lock itself out until it can call home again
c) first thing that'll happen when you plug it in after you get back is that it'll call home

I heard that if you don't sign in on the Xbox One after 24hrs the kinect disconnects from the console, little propellers come out the top of it and it goes looking for you.

It's got a retractable leg so's it can leap up at you better. And you know what, it lights up at night and it's got four ears, two of them are for listening and the other two are kind of back-up ears. Its claws are as big as cups and for some reason, it's got a tremendous fear of stamps! It's got magnets on its tail, so's if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you and instead of a mouth, it's got four arses!

I think you're reading into something that isn't there dude. :cool:

The infamous kotaku article was updated at some point and I hadn't noticed. Saw it posted elsewhere...

Update: Sounds like things are a mess over at Microsoft. Now they're telling Polygon that Harrison's comments illustrate a "potential scenario."

"While Phil [Harrison] discussed many potential scenarios around games on Xbox One, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail," a Microsoft rep said. "There have been reports of a specific time period — those were discussions of potential scenarios, but we have not confirmed any details today, nor will we be."

So, it might be better than 24 hours. What, then? 48 hours? A week? Still not going to want a console with that 'feature'. The games will have to be so good that I can overlook it.

Deano7788

For God's sake, this was the thing they really needed to be the most clear about after all the always on rumours in the build up, and yet it's probably the thing they've done the worst job explaining.

Varik

They need to check it off so that you can't sell a game and then keep the install usable for a long period. There are games that you could bring home install and trade in at a high price and keep the console offline long enough to finish the game if the time period was too long.

24hr is too short as if something goes wrong with your connection it likely to be fixed in a few days at most in normal circumstances, a week it too long.

circadian

Surely using the disc to verify the game that's installed makes the most sense.

Y'know, like it works now?

But you can play the game without the disc. They're doing it so you can't just trade in the disc and continue playing the game. I'd have rather you didn't have to install and could just play from the disc though.

circadian

That's what I mean, have it so you can't play without the disc in. That's how it works now if you install a game. It runs the game from your HD and uses the disc as verification.

Also agree that running from disc makes sense. That hard drive will fill up quickly ripping all those blu-ray discs.

I doubt they will allow you to rip blue-ray discs on a locked down console.

Why, what difference would it make as to how it works now? Yes you are copying the game but you still need the disc. Not exactly ripping it per se.
