Seems the whole having to pay a fee after installing a game is false

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.

Tweets below the main one don't exactly back it up.

Those things along with destroying the pre-owned market is enough to put me off.

Also running three different operating systems at the same time sounds like asking for trouble they are trying to target too many markets at once it will be jack of all trades master of none.

How much money are they wanting for this thing?

Kinect is bundled with it.

And that article from Chewy is just ridiculous (ridiculous from MS, not Chewy ). There are people that don't have the internet still.
Also, my ISP had a problem in the area last week. Having to connect at least once a day seems a bit problematic if something like last week were to occur again.
