I'm not sure how big the HD will be but I have over 25 games so that would be a lot of space to take up on a HD. Now this will be a new system so there won't be 25 games available yet but there will be 15, and that will take up a lot of space. The backward incompatibility with 360 is awful. I wanted to sell my 360 towards the one

It's called cloud storage, bro, internal HDD is pretty much irrelevant.

And who the **** cares about backwards compatibility? How many original Xbox games are you still playing?

In all honesty, I think you need to inform yourself a little better about this situation instead of looking for reasons to cry and complain.

You're still going to be able to play borrowed games without paying any sort of fees. The fee comes into play if you want to keep playing the game after you return it to your friend but don't feel like going anywhere to buy it.

A shit ton, I have Red dead, bioshock 2 and infinite, both dead islands, both godfathers, the new hitman, re 6, oblivion, skyrim, etc. I have over 25. I still like my older games.

I was asking how many of the original Xbox games you were still playing, not Xbox 360.

I like my older games too, I just tend to play the new ones coming out. Backwards compatibility is always a big talking point, but not too many people actually give a **** about it. I remember everyone making a huge fuss about the lack of backwards compatibility with the 360... 77 million units later, nobody seems to care.

I know my old Xbox has never been out of my partents' house basement ever since the 360 came out.

Show me a link that says "If you borrow or rent a game, you are going to have to pay a fee in order to play it." It's been spread around like wildfire and I haven't seen one credible piece of information out there that shows it to be true.

Here it is straight from the mouth of some VP at Microsoft: http://kotaku.com/you-will-be-able-t...cros-509140825

They may have changed their mind on the fee after all the backlash though: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/a...tallation.aspx

Thanks, appreciate the links.

The link I posted a few pages back (from I believe the same source at MS) said that people will have the exact same restrictions on games that are in place now - basically that if you want to use a game on another console, you'd have to have the disc. Not sure on the dates of the article.

But, from the sounds of your first link, it sounds like they are moving towards how they (and every other company) treat software - think of something like MS Office. You can install it on as many computers as you want, but it's only licensed for one computer - so if you want to activate it on any other computers, you have to purchase the license.

I'm not big on used games, so it isn't much of restriction for me. But, I'll wait until the system(s) are out to see what the final results are. I expect some changes between now & then.

I don't own any original Xbox games. But I wanted to be able to play these 360 games on the one while I save up to get some One games. Having the one makes the 360 done so why not let people play their old 360 games on it?

Probably because it would make the console cost more and hurt sales more than having it cost less and not have backwards compatibility.

My point is that people always say they want backwards compatibility, but in reality no one cares in the end because no one goes back to playing old games when the new ones are on the market.

[Mr. Plow]

And do people really need to save 25+ games on a console at a time?

Just how long do you think the One will last before the next one comes? Of course people do. Are you dense? Wait don't answer that. I already know.

I mean this as nicely as possible...... whoever you have helping you with your day-to-day activities like getting dressed and eating deserves a raise because that is the only way you've made it this far in life without accidentally killing yourself.
