This is damage limitation it was Microsoft that told the press about the second user fee and then after seeing the reaction to it after the conference announced on twitter thats not the case but have now told the press this utter garbled mess.

Once you install the game after buying it you can only play the game on machines that have permission to sign onto your xbox account i.e. you could take the game to your friends house install it on his xbox but then you would have to sign onto your xbox account on his machine to be able to play it he would have to buy it still if he wanted to play the game on his own account.

This still destroys the used games market although microsoft say they will announce in due course a way in which you could sell your games (which is expected to be an exclusive deal with a games retailer that means you can only sell it to them)

They can keep it i think i will wait until the thing gets cracked and patched in a way that allows me to use it how i see fit if i want to sell a game i have bought and played on ebay i will if they dont allow it i wont be buying it in the first place.
