I just think everyone needs to decide if they're selling devices or services. And maybe let us all know.

Note: You can do both, but I've yet to see a company that isn't Apple do it right. And this is coming from a confirmed Apple hater.

The world of software and hardware is changing and all of the consoles are playing by an old set of rules.

so paid a full price for a game you can't even sell as a second hand game. Good job you! MS needs people like you, you know.
Yeah, I do the same on steam, Origin and uPlay - doesn't feel fishy there also.

How many times can we explain the difference between Steam and digital console purchases? Steam is not tied to a single piece of hardware.

Could you imagine if MP3 purchases were tied to not only a single vendor, but a single generation of hardware? Yuck!

And uPlay doesn't seem fishy to you? That's a doomed platform too. Which is why my FC3 came from a Russian key re-seller :D

Bought Crimson Dragon and Zoo Tycoon as well now, ZT is only 2.6 GB

Operating System: some things are hard to find, but that's logical with a new OS I guess until you get used to it.

I couldn't find the demo section so far, as I want to download that sexy NBA 2K14 demo :(

Here are the digital download sizes if you buy games digital:

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag - 20GB
Battlefield 4 - 33GB
Call of Duty: Ghosts - 39GB
Dead Rising 3 - 19GB
FIFA 14 - 8GB
Fighter Within - 9.2GB
Forza Motorsport 5 - 31GB
Just Dance 2014 - 22GB
Killer Instinct - 3.4GB
Lococycle - 13GB
Madden NFL 25 - 12GB
NBA 2K14 - 43GB
NBA Live 14 - 9GB
Powerstar Golf - 3.9GB
Ryse: Son of Rome - 34GB
Skylanders: Swap Force - 15GB
Xbox Fitness - 246MB
Zoo Tycoon - 2.6GB
Zumba World Party - 24GB
Really that turd Lococycle is 13 gigs!!

13 gigs isn't very big :)

I'm more shocked that EA Sports games are so small. Last gen assets FTW?

Got my box via UPS at 5 pm y'day, after a whole day of anticipated wait. Runs like a charm, though I can hear the fan doing a lite wooshing sound. But I'm very sensitive to those things. Of course, Voice Recognition doesn't work in Austria, although we speak German. I knew that.

What I didn't know is the fact that you cannot use the system in english, when you're from Austria. So I set UK as my locale [voice recognition now works in English], to have games and subtitles in english. Hopefully it will get patched out.

Downloading the Day One patch also were a few minutes only for me. Disc-Drive is fine [tested Risky Business on BluRay]. Played Killer Instinct and really enjoyed it. Downloading games takes very long though because of the size. RYSE is at 91 % with DR, Fifa and Forza in queue. RYSE was 11 % when I went to bed 6 hours ago. So actually it's my maximum download rate.

Love the voice commands. If you say Xbox then all possible commands are written with a green font. Makes it very easy. Works 90 %. Sometimes it seems not to want to listen ... hahahaha

Very happy with my purchase. Will play RYSE now, as it is 92 % and more than ready to get started :D

PS: Gamestop-Employee rumour about a second free game for Day One Edition owners turned out not to be true - bummer.
Just started playing with mine and the controller is just heavenly!!, love the UI very fast and smooth, voice controls still playing with but you need to know the EXACT code words to say so still learning, games have some big patches so downloading them is a pain!, my profile transferred across in sec's.

There are aspects of free-to-play design in the bulk of the Xbox One's launch titles: Ryse has microtransactions that aid progress in its multiplayer mode, while Crimson Dragon's single-player path can also be given a little helping hand by buying in-game currency with real-world money. Elsewhere, Forza Motorsport 5 allows you to boost the rate at which you gain XP for a little extra cost, or to spend money to fast-track your way to a higher end motor. They're all systems proven in the world of free-to-play, but there's a problem: none of these games are free.
A good write up on the misappropriation of "free to play" models in the next generation:

Note: There is a shared guilt here, but Microsoft (as always) is leading the way with nickle-and-dime content.

One of the scummier bits is nothing new: they killed cheat codes this generation so what they could sell them back to you too.

There are a bunch of one star reviews on there that are verified purchases.

Pages worth. I guess that's "not a single one" because it's many ;)

It's a piss poor way to determine failure rates tbh. Some are verified purchases, others aren't but may have been bought elsewhere, others aren't and might be fanboy trolling. It's useless.
